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
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!!!
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
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 Good observation though!
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.
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.

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
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
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
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.
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*
Id say i am an adequate actor who can play with a good amount of conviction. Also, I think i have a style, i have certain mannerisms, expressions and characteristics that i integrate into my roles. Though, i am afraid this style will lead to all of my character coming off as the same.
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 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 🔥🔥💯
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
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.👍
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
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
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 🇮🇳
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.
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
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.
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?
I understand the things you say in this video but I do have e few remarks... because if you're an actor, you're not playing 'you', you're playing a character. And maybe that charactes is a nervous person with alot of hand gestures while talking. Acting is becoming the person the say you have to become... that's the skill...
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 👏
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.😂

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.

Stop trying to act.

I made a sad script once and tried to act it out, but ended up crying. My goodness.
no stop it good. Even better if you could do that around other people though
If youre able to convince yourself the scene is real in the moment it will help you be natural rather than "acting" if you know what i mean lol

A lot of great actors say that they try not to act when they act.
•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

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.

Thank you! I actually got the lead role.
So perfectly worded. I got more out of this tutorial than any I have ever seen. Thank ur awesome.
Always glad to help!
I don't need a acting class, I think I found my acting teacher
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.

I'm literally in the same situation as you. It's tough, but you cant be negative in the buisness. We just gotta make a plan mu friend.
@@TheActorsAcademy I'm in the same situation now..
Michael Mowery my plan is to take acting lessons whilst attending college.
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

@@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
I think I was really born with the gift of acting I can feel at my young age
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!

you're literally so much more helpful than like everybody else on youtube
Glad to help!
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.
Thank you so much for this! I'm auditioning for a performing arts school next week
Damn really made me think Benedict Cumberbatch was the one talking about it 😂
I have seen many channels on youtube about acting , but i think yours is the best one .
Loved it❤️❤️
Thank you! :)

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 :)

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
Id say i am an adequate actor who can play with a good amount of conviction. Also, I think i have a style, i have certain mannerisms, expressions and characteristics that i integrate into my roles. Though, i am afraid this style will lead to all of my character coming off as the same.
Actors Unite!
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 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 👍🏼👍🏼
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
I want to be an actor but I cannot find acting class I can trust
Thank you for sharing your wisdom...heading to California to see Hollywood
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
So basically I just have to stop being unrealistic, Thankyou
Different conversations bring about different tone and feelings..
Tip:
Act along with music.

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
Hi sir..m from india....m learning alot from ur videos...thank u soooo much for ur support sir...

I got a first degree honours in acting... But I still clicked the video to see what's up...
Thank you, this rlly helped! I’m auditioning for a film today, wish me luck
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
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 🇮🇳
I want to be an actor. It's my dream!!
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.
These are great tips. Thank you. I found the 'leaning forward' while saying your line quite interesting.
That was so helpful man, thanks 💙
thanks for existing sir you are doing great
wow it actually did help a lot so thanks!
Glad to help 👍🏼
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!
Thanks for getting into it fast!

I was doing the hands thing too! My teaching asked if I was trying to fly away lol
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 👍🏼
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.
Nice video!!! Thank you. This will definitely improve my acting
:)
Im a little girl and i love acting thank you it helps me so much.
Thank you very much, I do drama classes in school and advertising on tv so this was a huuuuge help 👌 Thank You 🙏

Benedict you have change. You must be a variant
I’m watching this to direct better and work with actors more effectively
I’m a korean, attempting to be an actor,
But my mom thinks I’m joking
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.
Good luck
@@Je11keng thankyou so much. it went well🥺
@@shubhraaa I'm glad. Ima go to the theater tomorrow for a movie!! Can't wait
@@Je11keng aaaw i hope it went welllll
@@shubhraaa thanks!
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?
I'm starting my career as an actor. Great video.
Why do I recognize him even tho I’ve never seen this channel before!?!?
I understand the things you say in this video but I do have e few remarks... because if you're an actor, you're not playing 'you', you're playing a character. And maybe that charactes is a nervous person with alot of hand gestures while talking. Acting is becoming the person the say you have to become... that's the skill...
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!

I like the fact that this video is not unrealistic.
I hope I can be an actress one day☀🥺
Your two assistants are very talented.
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.😂

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.
Oh you’re not alone. I come from drama/theatre myself and I end up so exaggerated trying for film.
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?
Very useful video, thank you
You’re welcome!!
