Great tips - every actor should watch this. My favorite quote: "Prepare on what you do have a context for." Really smart.

"You can't DO an emotion."- Well said! Performing is so much more nuanced and intentional than that.

This is exactly what Stanislavsky was practicing with his actors in rehearsals before his death. It’s called Psycho-Physical acting or Active Analysis.

Great stuff. Just in time as I prepare for my first voice over in an audio drama. Thanks for sharing Amanda!

I recommend every actor read Sanford Meisner On Acting. This is exactly what he is talking about. Prepare for the moment before, based on your objective, the emotions are a result of your interaction with the other actor(s) in the scene with you all DOING an action based on their own objective.

Man, that's a wealth of actionable information in under 2 minutes. Coming from theater acting, the Let it Go portion really resonated with me. You have to commit and then trust the commitment.

Completely agree on Meisner on Acting, Suzanne Bronson. Fantastic.
