how to be a better actor at home here's
a very quick and easy way
that will help you become a better actor
at home no need for classes for this
[Music]
it's a very simple exercise and
what it's going to do is it's going to
expand you to see
that there are many different ways to do
something there's many different ways to
act and sometimes if we're new actors
or even if we're very experienced actors
i catch myself doing it sometimes
we try to repeat ourselves because we
think what we just did was so brilliant
that now we're holding on for dear life
to try to repeat what we did and um the
problem with that
i mean if the director needs it it's
great the problem with that when you're
practicing is that
it doesn't give you room to explore
other things about yourself it doesn't
give you room to be organic it doesn't
give you room
to surprise yourself and acting is a lot
of fun when you can surprise yourself
when you're acting
and something comes out of your mouth
and you're like oh i didn't i didn't
know i was gonna do it like that
it's a very awesome feeling so today i
had my super
awesome little niece seven-year-old
riley help me out with this today
and you guys if she's seven so if she
could do it you could do it you could do
this at any age
um so i told her to say this line a
bunch of different ways now you're gonna
see how she does it
and we didn't even prep we didn't even
warm up
we just were like okay you want to do
this she's like yeah we've got and
here we go the line that we decided to
do is
you are my best friend so the first time
is happy
you are my best friend so now we're
gonna practice doing it angry
you are my best friend so i told her you
know okay so now let's do it quiet
so that not everybody in the room will
hear her
it's good it says she's whispering in a
classroom and now i said do it angry
but be quiet about
are it best friend
okay so now we're gonna do it sad
you are my best friend and then she made
her own
her she made hers up fine how about
you're fine like
like half happy half sad okay good i
didn't even tell her
that what she was doing was really
really strong work
because she's like let me do fine like
half this half that and
another way that i like to say that is
having an emotion under
and having um like you're always trying
to mask your feelings so
when when you want to say something to
someone and you want them to know
that you love them or whatever let's say
you're disappointed but you want them
to know that you love them so you're
trying to be happy there's a
there's a opposition there and she did
it when she
come i'd even tell her to do it do it
that way
you are my best friend really good she's
really good
very good okay what's another way we
could do it so how about i sigh
before that so that it would let them
know that i'm that i'm fine
okay yeah so i'm gonna
do i'm fine you are my best friend
you are my best friend that was cohesion
super super super awesome you guys that
like just keep working like that doing
many different things and doing the
lines that's gonna help you
a lot i promise and you don't need to go
to class for them
