Before you tear your heart, soul and wallet out preparing for that “ACTING ROLE” let me teach you 2 basic rules that might come in handy. These two rules could be used for any acting role whether it be T.V, Movies, or the Theater and although they are basic they are probably left out in many of the greatest professors classes.
WAITING- To act is to wait! If you have to be somewhere before or after a shoot this might not be the career move for you. For acting is not only the skill done at the moment but the ability to wait to share that skill with the world or at least your director.
LISTENING- You can feel the passion of your character coming through but if you aren’t willing to listen how the Director see’s it you will be out of focus. For acting is pretending but in the house and mind of those that lead such a production not entirely on your own.
