Studying for theatre class, this was very helpful

Great video! I read 'An Actor Prepares' years ago and it seemed clear and practical so far as I remember, but having someone explain the concepts to you is better still; because you're speaking from experience it makes more sense to me. What I also like is that you're assuming little or no prior experience and working from the ground up. That makes it really accessible to me. I've downloaded the resource and will check back next week to watch the exercises. Thanks for sharing this information.

Just recently found your channel and I love it! Teaching high school acting "live" and "zoom" and/or virtual at the same time is extremely challenging, as all the teachers out there can attest, so using your videos as a jumping off point has saved me untold hours of re-inventing the wheel, so to speak. Thank you!

Excellent what is one simple line the famous Ali G said without realness we is nothing. Love the video

[Musica]

really happy that this channel is back on :)

I’m going to do the practical part of my examination in literature and theater. That’s seems helpful.

Hello. I am a High School Drama teacher here in the US. I am sure (like you) we are all undergoing a difficult time right now. Teaching acting remotely without being able to connect with my students has been difficult but I am enjoying the challenge. I was trained in Stanislavski method as a young theatre student many years ago. I've been searching for a clear/concise video to share with my students on Stanislavski methods. We have covered a lot of the work you speak about such as the actors instrument (his body) importance of good vocal technique/breathing techniques, do's and don'ts such as gesturing or theatre of representation (indicating sadness by frowning or anger with a grimace etc.) avoiding cliche's and allowing the physicality of a character to be dictated by internal factors and struggles AVOIDING representing or gesturing emotions. I really enjoyed your video and I would like to share with my students. Perhaps you might consider other videos geared toward teachers teaching Stanislavski remotely? Like the others who have commented below . . . I've read all 3 books but it's nice to have the "Stanislavski for Dummies" of "Stanislavski Cliff notes" version at our fingertips. LOL. Thanks for sharing!

[lamaalhezayen]

[keshavthakur]

Its great work please give and teach those exercises too

[sayandatta]

Thanks for teaching us. I am from India.

[yellowjackets]

thank you so much for this, so helpful :)

[nayeemhasan]

It was good suggestions! I need a daily routine as an actor? What to exercise, how to practice? What an actor should do daily? Moreover!

Can you help me on that?

[alexanadevi]

Thank you! I'm learning the basics.

[dhanvinnandakumaran]

Is it okay if I share this document link with my friends? We are actors in school, and we regularly go for competitions. I feel like it would be helpful for them as well, which is why I ask. I also know a lot of people who don't want others to share these things, which is why I felt the need to ask...Thanks a bunch!

[MrMaximeloni]

Is it theoretically possible for the best actors to play EVERY role? Or is there always a certain range within your own temparament (that can hardly be changed, right?) Within which a role can be played credibly?

[shashanksingh]

Hey this helped me a lot.. I wanna talk to you about acting..

[elliem.]

i'm trying to get into a drama/acting school but I'm only 13 turning 14, what advice would you think would help me... I'm aiming to be an actor near the age of 16/17. Hope to hear your response!! Loved your vid.
