I caught this 2 years ago when it had only 12 views or so. It’s an
excellent clip, as wereare/ your other ones :)
So good and important John! Thank you!
Fantastic advice. I have always believed in becoming the character and my
lines are not only learned, but are things that I (as the character) would
actually say in a given situation. This sometimes means improvising, which
some directors don’t like, so I find other ways of improvising. Not to add
words to the script, but to add body language. Now I will say, I have had
no professional acting jobs as of this time, and hope to start an acting
class soon. However, having always had a fascination with acting, I have
done little things among friends. Sometimes acting characters they wrote
themselves.
There is great value in this, not just for actors. Thank you John.

work on my craft to be the best i can be. to listen and to take in.

Thank you. The word “listening” comes up in the Green Room a lot. It’s an
acting buzzword. But after acting classes and many plays, I feel like I’m
just beginning to grasp what listening really means.
Cool story Bro !

So true, the art of good speaking is good listening. Listening with the
brain and not with our ears it takes years of practice for many of us. I
personally learned how to really listening through years at an big
commercial airline call center and later while studying Meisner and
applying it to scripts.
This is absolutely LEDGE! Brilliant advice. 
John, I bailed out at 50 seconds. I’m a welder .. My sons a real player.

Very Good!
I’m pretty sure you still haven’t learned to listen. It’s something you can
practice on and improve, but it mostly comes out second nature. That’s what
I get when I LISTEN to you.
That’s why I love Michael Caine so much! Since the moment I saw him in
“Alfie” Cocky twit! But, real and later in the movie, human. No matter what
he is into, he’s there engaged and either completely funny crazy or
terribly evil. But, Nevertheless he seems to become the story not something
outside of it. Clever and convincing! Thank God he’s not a Politician! 
Thank you.
Boooooring.
awesome
Excellent!
