    This is a hard thing for starting actors to understand. Good acting really isn't a skill that some have and others don't, I think it's more of a state of mind, that can only be reached by practice and exposure. Take acting classes, get in uncomfortable situations, learn about people, and have experiences. For example someone who’s experienced trauma or death already has the capacity to be a great actor if they wanted, they’ve felt some of the realest, most painful, eye opening emotions any human can feel, that shit changes you. The only way to act truly realistically is to lose yourself in the scene, so you're not reciting lines from memory but rather speaking out of impulse and emotion, you begin to really mean what you say and actually form a mental connection with the character you're playing. This is where the most brilliant improv moments happen. You gotta fill in the blanks of your character, make a backstory for them even if they don't have one. It's a really fascinating process and craft

    • @raffcohen1691
      @raffcohen1691 4 года назад +57

      No, theres level of emotion that can only be potrayed by great, genius actor or actress, the mindset to lose yourself and act is very hard to achieve and even if you achieve that when compared to others you can see the difference between your motion, tone ,voice and subtle movement. Trust me when you compete with these kind of actors you will understand that even loosing yourself is a talent.

    • @AK-jt7kh

      This makes me think of the visualization practice I’ve started. I sit for 40 minutes in a dark room and visualize myself acting out a certain scene in my mind, and try to imagine what the characters would say, and what I would say, while having a sense of the room, space, and so forth.
      I wonder if actors sometimes do that to practice?

      @kittyughanze7533 3 года назад +8

    I dreamed about acting singe I was a kid (like 6 or 7 years old) but at some point I thought "I could never be an actor. Nobody would want me" so I threw that idea away. Now I'm 15 years old and I never really stopped thinking about acting. I love the fact that for a small amount of time you can be someone different and life a different story and just let yourself be yourself. So now I I'm in a drama club in my school (we are 12 people) and we will do a theater show in 3 months. My teacher told me that she thinks that I should follow my dreams because she thinks I have the potential to become an actor. I am still not really sure that I can do it (mostly because I am not a native English speaker. I also want to be in english speaking movies.)
    But I want to try. I want to follow my dreams. I just feel great being on the stage while rehearsing and I know I want to keep doing it.
    I think the hardest thing in becoming an actor is believing in yourself.
    But I want to try to believe in myself.

      It's for certain roles he does this and it's not all the time when he speaks. Depp mainly does this for Jack Sparrow because his character is always seemingly tipsy and is on a boat all the time so rocking back and forth is natural. I believe it's called ship legs or something? And he leans forward and backward while talking so it's a back and forth thing

    • @TheActorsAcademy
      @TheActorsAcademy  6 лет назад +158

      Can I ask what it is that makes you want to act? Have you ever done any acting before? The reason I ask, is because it’s hard to know you want to do something professionally if you’ve never done it before. Getting an agent would mean you would be trying to pursue it professionally, but you should try it out before you make that decision. That may be in the form of going on auditions, possibly getting something in a play or film, or taking classes. Just try it out first before you decide to do it professionally.
      Honestly, I’d say to sign up for my *10 Hour Acting Masterclass* ... If you decide that it’s not for you, you can return it at no charge and get your money back. I have a Christmas special going on, which is why I mention it to you

      You’re not alone in this, I’ve met many actors who felt this way; which is why I created the solution in my *10 Hour Acting Masterclass*
      Our goal should always be to portray ourselves believably, whether that be on stage or on film. When actors begin their career, they don’t always consider both spectrums. It can end up being a ha it for some to always bring their stage work to film or their film to stage. There are elements that stay consistent, but they will have differences. Not knowing these differences can be an issue though, which is why some people come across as being fake, in either their voice, physicality, emotions, or all of the above. Our goals as Actors should then be to find the solution. Otherwise we’ll keep continuing to put out fake work and potentially not be able to book any substantial work. Any actor can be real, it just depends if they’re willing to put in the time to get their.

    I'm nearly 16 years old and I have never thought of becoming an actor professionally because it seems like it would be very hard to become one with all the competition. I am creative, talk to myself all the time, really good at speaking (English presentations) and I love doing impersonations (both voice and movement). I am 6'5" and I'm very sporty and smart. Acting would be soooo fun but I don't want to try to become one and get into big movies to find out no one wants me and I've got no university degree or career path. Next thing you know I'm 30 years old and I still live at home without a job. By the way thanks for reading 😊

      That’s the truth to it man. It’s a very hard an tough business. That’s why I always suggest actors pursue it along with something else. My biggest suggestion is pursuing acting while attending a university. That way whether or not you make it in for years as an actor, you will have earned a degree in that time. Lots of pros and cons to weigh when wanting to become an actor.

    Excellent video. I am curious about suggestions that involve good actors and bad actors, and of films that include either or both.

    • @TheActorsAcademy
      @TheActorsAcademy  6 лет назад +8

      This is a topic that usually in the end comes down to personal opinion (type of role, Actors in the project, whether or not the story resonates, etc.) these all have an effect on our decision. In general we have a consensus on who we deem to be great, but there would be others who will not agree with that consensus.
      So it comes down to this. Find which actors are talked about in this manner of being great (Meryl Streep, Viola Davis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Bradley Cooper, and so on). Preferably sticking with your own gender is best. Watch their films and find who resonates with you. You’re picking these big Actors because you *know* their good, so it’ll then come down to your personal opinion. Once you find which acting style/actor you prefer continue watching them and use them as your own models.
      Hope this helps/makes sense, let me know if you have any other questions :)

I hear a lot of common things that you read in stanislawski's book about acting in general. You always have to know what you say and do and it must be logical for oneself. And that is really not easy. I also agree with the mirrowing gestures, thats what I also do. I think this is one of the rare videos that really give a good helpful advice

    I think the way to act realistically is to learn exact movements you realistically do and then try to do the same exact thing when you're acting
    let's say you rememorized how to eat soup by doing it
    now you just have to do the same moves and actions as you would while eating soup but without a plate nor a spoon that way you will act like you are eating soup realistically without even using a spoon nor a plate

    I enjoyed the video, and as a stage actor, I found it helpful. For On Camera auditions, for some reason, I've gotten into the habit of adopting a very "stagey" voice - I don't tend to do that in stage auditions - I think it's a defense mechanism and nerves.
    A second comment - I'm reminded of an old joke.
    On seeing the statue of "David", someone asked Michelangelo, "how can I make a sculpture like that?"
    "Oh, it's easy," he replied, "just get a two ton piece of marble, and chip away everything that doesn't look like "David".
    One other thing...I don't think the underlying music adds much to this video. For some reason, people fear a silent background, but in this video, I found the music distracting. It's great if it helps to make a point, or provides a transition from one thought to another, but hear, I wanted to ask somebody to turn off the radio that was playing in the other room.
