To learn acting and directing
Let me tell you what is important to your acting, so that, you know how to play the game to win.
Know what story you are telling.
Actor thinks of causes.
Director thinks of results.
In the house of entertainment the actor and director have to serve the audience and work for the author.
Defining Acting
The principles of acting come from all the things you do in life.
The actor has to learn all the acting principles, then the principles have to become subliminal in their acting.
Work on your acting craft in an acting workshop: just know the lines and do the scene. It is really that simple.
