Acting : Watching yourself on screen. by Steve James

Steve James

Watching yourself on screen.

Worked on an Indy Movie last year that was Premiered in a Downtown Cinema, yesterday. Incredible experience seeing myself on screen for the first time, and seeing my name on a credit role. I wasn't too hard on my acting, either - everything that I was trying to achieve, and ideas I had for the scene all worked. I had forgotten about them for over 8 months, and yet- here they were! What are your thoughts about seeing yourself work?

Congrats on your role! When an actor watches themselves it is hard to be objective. It's good to get constructive feedback on your performance from a non-biased mentor or teacher. It is the only way to grow as an artist. I'm having a webinar on May 5th for actors with stage 32. I hope you can join me.

I can't watch myself. Forget my performance- all I think about is how fat I look.

I remember that moment! Very surreal! I'd love to see it! Personally I think it's good to view your work after the film has ended. When you've nailed a performance, be proud of your work! If we are lucky we will continually be growing in our craft, I like looking back into the past and seeing improvements that have been made.
