- Here's NeuroActing's groundbreaking Table of Actions (buy yours at www.neuroacting.com) created by Bryan Bounds to show actors how to create an acting score that has a beginning, middle and end, (which is what your audition panel will be looking for) as well as a variety of tones, moods, actions and emotions. You can also visit neuroacting.com to buy the complete course 'Mastering the Monologue'.
I can't find this pdf table anywhere. How could I possibly download it for myself?
Hi there, thanks for contacting me. and glad you found this process useful. You can find the 'Guide to Actioning' in www.neuroacting.com under the Toolkits heading. Good luck!
Loved all you said how to act and to do a monologue thank youu
Thanks Metzada! Glad you liked it - if you want to learn more there’s a free course with the table of actions on NeuroActing.com. Just trying to keep you creative during this weird time! Stay well, Bryan

Brilliant! Thank you Bryan! :-)
I am also interested in the PDF table. Any directions on how to access it?
Hi Bryan! I have a question. For the actions on the monologue script (suppress, amuse, etc.) do I suppress, amuse, awake, etc the imaginary person I'm talking to, or am I suppressing, amusing, awaking myself? Second, could each sentence have a separate action, or is it better to make it simpler and have one action for several lines as you do?
Great questions! These actions are things that you are doing, sometimes to yourself ("suppress my desire to lash out at you"), or doing to another person. Focusing on the other person makes the work a bit easier though because then you can lock onto them and see if your actions are having an effect. Second: it depends on the piece itself. Perhaps if you're starting off with this, I would use three actions to begin with, and then when it becomes more natural to you, then you can add more. But always with your work, you want to know the action so well that you get out of your head and you don't have to "think" about them - it's all coming from your momentum during the flow of the piece. Over time they will become a natural way of behaving when you work. Does that make sense? Shout if you need more clarification, and break a leg!
PS playing the action: "suppress ______" is a very effective way to induce the emotion that you might want to feel. But you're not playing the mood, you're doing want we all do in response to the situation which makes it worse! And that's good!
@@NeuroActing Thank you! This really helped clear it up for me. I was wondering, could you make a video demonstrating what it looks like playing different actions so that I could actually see the transitions, tone changes, etc?
I gotta apply for an arts high school and it’s mandatory for 2 memorized published monologues! Great vid, but u know any published monologues for 13 year old females??
Waw, can you actually give me a link to this document ?
Hidy-ho! Yep, the link to get The Collected Tables of Actions (which is more in-depth than when I made this video) is in the info details of this video or you can find it at www.neuroacting.com in the Handbooks section. Break a leg!
One of the best .

Karan Gaba I’m glad you like the table - it’s very helpful to my students! You can find it on my website at www.actortrainingonline.com/resources. Break a leg, Bryan
Can you put up a link for table of actions? Xx
I V I’m working on a new video course that has all the tables and more technical material. If you subscribe to the channel you’ll get it all, but it will be toward the end of the summer. Break a leg, Bryan
