HOW TO BE A BETTER ACTOR

Coming up to 2024 and another free acting-lesson (meaning no commercials) from New York and Skype Acting-Coach John Windsor-Cunningham , - here reminding actors the importance of what is BEHIND every line, and how it can be different to what the words first seem to mean.

I cannot wait to have session with you on Skype! You’re my idol, my hero, my role model

You have done it again sir Cunningham, I always learn something new from you every time you upload, please never stop making these educational films. They will help generations among generations of actors

[bioskopandchampagne]

When he said "Please" my soul shivered.

You are amazing sir! I am watching your videos again and again just to refer to them while I am preparing for this role I got in a film.. You are an incredible teacher and coach sir.. It's always great to learn from a person who already is an incredibly talented actor.. I can't thank you enough for what you are giving us.. Thank you! 💜

Hi Mr. Cunningham, as an actress just starting out myself, I want to thank you for making all of this advice available. They've helped me countless times with analyzing and trying something new with different scenes and monologues. Your videos are very much appreciated!

Thank you again Mr Windsor-Cunningham for your selflessness and insight. Your videos have meant more to me than any webinar from 2nd rate actors/coaches. Your advice is golden and has already made me feel more confident as a voice actor. Thank you and God bless you 🙏🏽

Hello, John! There is a small chance you will see this comment but your videos on how to do a British accent are very helpful. I found them very easy to understand and follow along. Thank you so much for helping people around the world by sharing your knowledge about acting. You are very much loved and appreciated. I hope all is well with you. 😊💛

Hi John: Your recent student and eternal fan Kaz, here. I love this video. It's an incredibly useful lesson; an essential focus that I believe brought me success in my drama school audition. To any viewers reading this: if you are serious about preparing for an audition or improving as an actor in general, I can't recommend his coaching enough. Looking forward to next time. Cheers, sir!

I try and use this method when I’m singing a song. Anything repeated in a song has to mean something and is an extra layer. We don’t just repeat something to fill space. Words in a song can sometimes mean exactly what the character wants to say - or the complete opposite.... but it’s always some version of the truth.

I’m auditioning for a film in a couple days and your videos have been really helpful! Thank you very much :)

I was reminded of a line from Hamlet while watching this video. "...But if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines."
This is such great advice. I'm starting out in acting myself and I've found that one of my biggest challenges so far in drama school is making choices that are truthful to me. This advice really helps a lot because if I decide what the sub-text is behind the line, it will help narrow down which are the appropriate, truthful choices I could make when speaking the lines.

You produce the best, most helpful videos. Thank you 🖤

[ShqipeKnocksMMA]

Brilliant explanation, John. Reminds me of the Stanislavski method of character/scene analysis.

[dontletcoronabite]

I found your channel just now! You are really inspiring! Hoping you're healthy and that you'll make more videos in the future

[lettenlina]

Omg you're alive- I was so worried, you're such an amazing teacher, thank you so much for doing what you do on YouTube, you're helping so many people :)

[hahaidothat]

[ozzyperez]

Arguably the most informative explanation about acting I have ever watched. So profoundly logical.

Great advice and something to think about. Thanks for this :)
