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
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.
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?
i agree altho id say it depends on trauma, my trauma has made me inable to show emotion that what i was thought for my whole life don't show or talk about emotions or you're weak, im so traumatized that I don't know how to yell, I don't have the courage or ability if you told me now that i have to scream to save my life i couldn't, i also haven't sang at all in the last 4 years not even in the shower or along to a song i just cant
Confidence is key. You can be amazing in your room, but if you can’t in public, than it doesn’t matter. I’d suggest enrolling in my *10 Hour Acting Masterclass* the-actors-academy.teachable.com
Here’s some words of encouragement for you... EVERYONE feels awkward when they’re acting with other people, ESPECIALLY if it’s a dramatic scene. However, if you’re willing to do it and go over the top to portray the emotion, no one will look at you like you’re weird, they will see you as a great, risk taking actor 💅
Same!! I consider myself a very good actress but at first I was very shy to show it to the rest of my drama club, but eventually I got more comfortable and now I get compliments all the time about how talented I am in that aspect (sort of sounds like I’m bragging-low key I am jajaja just kidding) but yeah, I see you posted this a year ago and I bet you’re a lot more confident now and I bet you get compliments about how good of an actress you are now :))!!
Pretend that you’ve suddenly become the character, it’s not you so you don’t have to be embarrassed. What would your character think or say, how do they feel, what’s their backstory, mannerisms
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 Good observation though!
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.
Thanks kid.... to be honest, the info you provided are more helpful than a lot of these NYC acting classes. I tried the “no blink” tip and tears were flowing. I purchased your course to support ya!!! Keep it up!!!
I think Theatre and film/television is different. I think Theatre requires you to be more dramatic (it is pretty animated lol) while film/television acting is more subdued and realistic because actors tend to reflect reality in their fictional characters.
•Watch your posture -Don’t lean in back and forth when it’s your line -Watch your gestures ( try not to do them as much) - change the tone in your voice while speaking (don’t keep one tone in your voice • what do you do in your everyday life •be bigger on stage but not unrealistic 𝙺𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎
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 the-actors-academy.teachable.com
hey, so I am also acting in a professional type of way and if you have no experience I would recommend taking classes first because an agent only works with you to go on auditions and calls. they don't help you become a better actor, acting classes however do.
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. *10 Hour Acting Masterclass* the-actors-academy.teachable.com
I plan on majoring in musical arts and minoring in education, that way if all else fails, I can fall back into becoming an instructor of some sort who can still work with the arts whilst helping others pursue them as well
My problem is that when I say lines (for film acting) they just sound so fake and rehearsed and I have nooo idea how to fix it! Like even I can tell after I say a line that it just sounds like I'm reading to a class of 3rd graders. For some reason though, I'm a good theatre actor and I've been doing it for years... but as for film? I'm still new to it and have a LOT of work to do. If you have any tips for voice as far as film acting vs. theatre acting, I think it'd be a great video! ;)
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. *The Actors Academy* the-actors-academy.teachable.com
We are also mirorring hand gestures, as what he said we shouldnt do, it actually is natural, I've watched few of his videos and a I found a lot of stuff he is saying non sense
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 :) *The Actors Academy*
I do Tik Tok and i noticed that alot of them do that and so do I .I have to keep doing the video over and over again .This really me helps thanks for sharing 🔥🔥💯
Thank you for the tips buddy. They all seem like very easy pitfalls to find yourself falling in without realising and it helps to be aware of this, so once again thank you.
Whenever I tried out for a tv commercial I tried my best with the reading,I was able to remember word for word but realized my voice grew silent when I annunciated my lines,due to that I kept cutting myself off bc I wasn't happy with it, I watched this video and took into account that most of these points are exactly what I was lacking in.realizing I knew my roll and lines but I need to learn from these moments is that has broadening horizons
Hey man! Thanks for giving us these helpful tips! May god bless you! I just kept on following you which helped to develop myself more in acting! Loads of Greetings from Kolkata India 🇮🇳
Recall last time you were sad, then recall a scene from a movie or show where someone died or was very emotional, now try to becoms the brain's state of the character at that very moment..... Them you'll probably get some goosebumps but you are ready to go.👍
Yes, so the voice thing was kind of something I was struggling with. I worked a lot on my voice and making it more like up and down and less one level. So that was a big struggle for me learning how to just make my voice sound natural. I didn’t notice it myself. Someone had to put it out to me, which was really funny and weird.
every single word you say is gold and true! :) I wish we would have actors in austria and germany(maybe in whole europe) that would listen to this! 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
The aim to portray the character like a real person. If you do something that you wouldn't do normally, it's probably not natural unless it's characteristic to your character.
Im not an aspiring actress but I literally went on and searched "how to act" I'm new to content creating but I just want to make content that's realistic cause subconsciously I had this feeling that I'm doing something wrong and I got it!!!! It's my hands I move them too much Thank God this was the first video I came across
I really want to start acting, and I've done it before (unprofessionally) and I want to continue professionally. The problem is, my parents, don't want me to. How do I convince them to let me get an agent, or even go on the casting call website?
The only reason I'm here is that i got selected in this random mono-acting competition and i have no idea how you do this. I have my audition tomorrow😭 wish me luck guys. Also, thanks for the video.
One big unrealistic thing (especially in theatre) is walking around while talking, like many steps back and forth back and forth. Still find myself doing it sometimes
My theater teacher always told me abt this she would call it "dancing" meaning your walking back n forth with your feet as your talking on stage making it look like your nervous or something
I tried my first little bit of acting the other night and I thought I was delivering my lines just as I would in real life. Boy was I wrong. It was terrible. It sounded like I was just reading the words off the script. Cringe worthy.
Good on ya. You took a brave step and more importantly got vakuabe feedback. Well done it'll be better next time and the next time and so on. Keep it up! Well done 👏
@@rosalindamenoza6833 shoot I don’t consider myself experienced enough to be giving tips😂 but just being prepared by studying your lines is so helpful. I’ve been in a few films and I can tell you my first one I went in with little knowledge of my lines and I was terrible at my delivery cause I was to focused on what I had to say. But my most recent project I knew my lines and it made my acting so much better cause then I could just focus on my acting
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.
I learned a 2 minute monologue yesterday. It’s a dramatic one but I kinda feel like I get too emotional because I always start crying after the first two lines.
why do I feel like realism has to more with getting into character and treating it like you are that character reacting to everything around you rather than knowing ur acting and focusing on things for realism
When I try practicing monologues and such, I LITERALLY CANT get my voice to have waves and movement. Its so difficult my voice is so dull. I try voice exercises and just talking to family and friends. Do you have any tips?
Loving this video. I’ve been wanting to act ever since I was around the age of seven or eight and have been in a handful of school plays and other production. I just need to improve my skills and overcome a fear of it.😂

This is a hard thing for starting actors to understand.

Take acting classes, get in uncomfortable situations, learn about people, and have experiences.

Like even I can tell after I say a line that it just sounds like I'm reading to a class of 3rd graders. For some reason though, I'm a good theatre actor and I've been doing it for years... but as for film? I'm still new to it and have a LOT of work to do. If you have any tips for voice as far as film acting vs. theatre acting, I think it'd be a great video! ;)
MadeleineNoelle SAMEEEE I was just about to comment that
I'm glad I'm not the only one haha but it's a struggle for sure!

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.

@@allie5082 I've made my research.
I shouldn't have done it.
We are also mirorring hand gestures, as what he said we shouldnt do, it actually is natural, I've watched few of his videos and a I found a lot of stuff he is saying non sense
So perfectly worded. I got more out of this tutorial than any I have ever seen. Thank ur awesome.
Always glad to help!
Thank you! I actually got the lead role.
I don't need a acting class, I think I found my acting teacher
I have seen many channels on youtube about acting , but i think yours is the best one .

Glad to help!
I’m not actress and I don’t even know why I’m here but this is so good.
Getting better at acting, thanks to this channel!

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

Thank you so much for this! I'm auditioning for a performing arts school next week
Hey!
**sips tea**
_”It’s free real estate!”_
Damn really made me think Benedict Cumberbatch was the one talking about it 😂
I do Tik Tok and i noticed that alot of them do that and so do I .I have to keep doing the video over and over again .This really me helps thanks for sharing 🔥🔥💯
Glad I could help 👍🏼👍🏼
I think I was really born with the gift of acting I can feel at my young age
Thank you for the tips buddy. They all seem like very easy pitfalls to find yourself falling in without realising and it helps to be aware of this, so once again thank you.
Whenever I tried out for a tv commercial I tried my best with the reading,I was able to remember word for word but realized my voice grew silent when I annunciated my lines,due to that I kept cutting myself off bc I wasn't happy with it, I watched this video and took into account that most of these points are exactly what I was lacking in.realizing I knew my roll and lines but I need to learn from these moments is that has broadening horizons
So basically I just have to stop being unrealistic, Thankyou
Tip:
Act along with music.
I want to be an actor but I cannot find acting class I can trust
I have an audition for Disney today so I looked up how to act and found this video and it was really helpful so hopefully I get a good role
Hey man! Thanks for giving us these helpful tips! May god bless you! I just kept on following you which helped to develop myself more in acting! Loads of Greetings from Kolkata India 🇮🇳
Thank you for sharing your wisdom...heading to California to see Hollywood

this video really helped me! thANK you, my acting has improved tremendously.
my problem is that i'm naturally monotone, so when i try to have levels i overact
How do i know whats good acting or bad acting? I am watching it cause i think its good, but how do i know if it actually is?
My problem is acting sad roles. Any tips?
Papphase pay attention to your body,your shoulders must be lower, your eyes should be looking down
I found that the most heartache you go through in life, it becomes easier and easier naturally.
Recall last time you were sad, then recall a scene from a movie or show where someone died or was very emotional, now try to becoms the brain's state of the character at that very moment..... Them you'll probably get some goosebumps but you are ready to go.👍
That's funny my problem is acting happy roles lol
@@karunasharma8315 yes!
i really like that smart and tender gaze of his
to me,gazes are like music: the heavier the better

Yes, so the voice thing was kind of something I was struggling with. I worked a lot on my voice and making it more like up and down and less one level. So that was a big struggle for me learning how to just make my voice sound natural. I didn’t notice it myself. Someone had to put it out to me, which was really funny and weird.
How were you able to fix it? I have a monotone voice as well.
Hi sir..m from india....m learning alot from ur videos...thank u soooo much for ur support sir...
every single word you say is gold and true! :) I wish we would have actors in austria and germany(maybe in whole europe) that would listen to this! 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
The aim to portray the character like a real person. If you do something that you wouldn't do normally, it's probably not natural unless it's characteristic to your character.
I found this very helpful. Thanks for sharing!!
You’re very welcome :)

Im not an aspiring actress but I literally went on and searched "how to act" I'm new to content creating but I just want to make content that's realistic cause subconsciously I had this feeling that I'm doing something wrong and I got it!!!!
It's my hands I move them too much
Thank God this was the first video I came across
Thank you, this rlly helped! I’m auditioning for a film today, wish me luck
He says stop acting unrealistically. For one thing I’m like, that doesn’t give me anything but on the other hand, it’s so true!
I really want to start acting, and I've done it before (unprofessionally) and I want to continue professionally. The problem is, my parents, don't want me to. How do I convince them to let me get an agent, or even go on the casting call website?
These are great tips. Thank you. I found the 'leaning forward' while saying your line quite interesting.
Thank you very much, I do drama classes in school and advertising on tv so this was a huuuuge help 👌 Thank You 🙏
You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help :)

@@shubhraaa thanks!
wow it actually did help a lot so thanks!
Glad to help 👍🏼
One big unrealistic thing (especially in theatre) is walking around while talking, like many steps back and forth back and forth. Still find myself doing it sometimes
My theater teacher always told me abt this she would call it "dancing" meaning your walking back n forth with your feet as your talking on stage making it look like your nervous or something
@@laylahttps1542 yea mine calls it stomping out the energy because the words u say lose themselves and meaning/energy with the walk.
I tried my first little bit of acting the other night and I thought I was delivering my lines just as I would in real life. Boy was I wrong. It was terrible. It sounded like I was just reading the words off the script. Cringe worthy.
Good on ya. You took a brave step and more importantly got vakuabe feedback. Well done it'll be better next time and the next time and so on. Keep it up! Well done 👏
i am and actor and i really need this Program and i am getting this! thanks Buddy!

Im a little girl and i love acting thank you it helps me so much.
Nice video!!! Thank you. This will definitely improve my acting
:)
Knowing your lines makes a world of difference. You can focus on your acting instead of worrying what you have to say
@@rosannamenoza2337 well yeah there are definitely moments of “what’s my line again” speaking from experience 😂
@@teddy_westside81 I have seen that alot do u have a good tip on acting scripts that u weren't given enough time on?
@@rosalindamenoza6833 shoot I don’t consider myself experienced enough to be giving tips😂 but just being prepared by studying your lines is so helpful. I’ve been in a few films and I can tell you my first one I went in with little knowledge of my lines and I was terrible at my delivery cause I was to focused on what I had to say. But my most recent project I knew my lines and it made my acting so much better cause then I could just focus on my acting
I’m a korean, attempting to be an actor,
But my mom thinks I’m joking
I want to be an actor. It's my dream!!
Thanks for making things simple and easy to pick up!
Gabe Perez no problem man. Acting isn’t supposed to be made hard/complicated. Glad it helped 👍🏼
You're a great acting coach, you have my sub, maestro.
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.
Oh you’re not alone. I come from drama/theatre myself and I end up so exaggerated trying for film.
I learned a 2 minute monologue yesterday.
It’s a dramatic one but I kinda feel like I get too emotional because I always start crying after the first two lines.
Uhhh I mean hows that bad? That's awesome if it fits your character
NoUser NAME yesss haha
I'm very good at acting. Here's proof, I acted like straight person for 14 years and no one noticed
Edit: 15 now
I bet your a terrible person i can tell by your username

Don't act unrealisticly
"homeless?" "buy a house"
why do I feel like realism has to more with getting into character and treating it like you are that character reacting to everything around you rather than knowing ur acting and focusing on things for realism
Thanks for getting into it fast!

When I try practicing monologues and such, I LITERALLY CANT get my voice to have waves and movement. Its so difficult my voice is so dull. I try voice exercises and just talking to family and friends. Do you have any tips?
thanks for existing sir you are doing great

Loving this video. I’ve been wanting to act ever since I was around the age of seven or eight and have been in a handful of school plays and other production. I just need to improve my skills and overcome a fear of it.😂

What I try do is pretend that I’m in that situation in real life and how would I react. How do I feel about the person I’m talking to
