R.i.P Suzanne 😇

Thank you a lot mam

Thankyou so much mam

Most of these videos just talk about WHY emotional prep is important. This is the first and only one I've found that explained HOW to do it

RIP Suzanne. This was a Godsend.

For those unaware, she passed away in 2023, at age 89. I fell in love with her person through these videos. She will be missed.

Thanks Suzanne

Thank you for this!

There is a big difference between stage and screen acting. There are some things common, but there are many things that are different. I think acting is believing that you are the person you are acting to be. One should absorb the character into oneself without pretending. When I am behind the camera and the director is wanting the actor to feel something and the actor is not delivering then I know that the actor didn't fully understand the character well enough to absorb the character into themselves. I hate it when actors arrive late and have tantrum fits.

Perfect ❤

🤍✨

i absolutely adore her. one of the greats!

“You know what you see when you look out the window? A stage hand pulling the rope.” I enjoyed this video 😂🤍✨

Damn. I studied at HB Studios and with Michael Moriarty when I was brand new in NYC. I wish I had known of Suzanne Shepherd when I was there. I'm getting so much just from these videos. She's amazing.

Just listening to Ms. Shepherd speaking in these videos is immensely helpful. I wish I had known about her when I lived in NYC.

As Suzanne painted Blanche's circumstances, I saw her feeling what Blanche was feeling.

Thanks for this

I wish this video had been shot so that we could see what Suzanne was doing with the actors’ hands. Instead we got to look at someone’s back. Frustrating, because the message Suzanne was conveying was so worthwhile.

Brilliant

It’s not what you say, it’s what you’re saying. Love this!

Old hag

That's a cogent argument, darling. But then is it not the job of the director to mould these decisions? After all,in life the task of living is relatively open-ended, but a play needs certain confluences at certain times in order for a certain story to be related. It's like in freeform jazz, where a player might improvise,but will always be tethered to the piece in the round x

Wonderful. Thank you!

Building imagination muscle is key. However these days most young people are glued too much on phone/computer to have any imagination. Reading novels, meditate, listening to instrumentals.. music with no lyrics... being present and focused in real life

Whatever you use to play the character it is a secret.. nobody needs to know.. even Meisner says this.. this is the key to acting once you understand the basics of emotions.. sympathy, ego, trauma, trauma release, meditation, living life, being present, being judgemental, being free from judgement... there are so many layers to life Ms. Shepherd you can tell is on point with her teachings.. I've watched same video clips multiple times.. still resonate

The best ever! She's the real deal

Sam's wife ?

Oh my! I just stumbled into seeing this video! Suzanne shepherd was my mentor when I finished my Bill Esper studies … Bill suggested I study with her after his class. Seeing her here - her voice is the same and she looks the same! How can that be ? It’s been 30 years! How great to hear these lessons again!

Wow good detector if i can call her that way but she so good wow🤞👌❤

thanks

Were you in sopranos?

I just found your videos, 15 minutes ago. I love them!! I think you are great

Another beautiful Video 🥺

OMG it hit me so hard when she said that living bird is in your hand and hold her hand like it’s that living baby bird and how precious her hand really becomes brought me to tears

Just found you and I’m grateful I did 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 thank you so much

I freaking love this lady with all my heart

Thank you so much for this! I felt very connected to what you were feeling when you closed your eyes...That was powerful in it of itself.

The reason Su is such a great acting teacher is that she challenges the actors' imagination. The script is just an outline to the truthful behavior. Su is the gold of acting teacher. She's a wonderful teacher because she challenges the actors':s imagination. You can act an action and not an idea. Oh Su, you are such a wonderful acting teacher. The craft is in the "doing." And to enter a scene with a definable action toget the actor out of an idea. As long as the actor has a playable as action and he can play the action, this is probable acting. Robert Duvall: Now we got got the unions....

Right. The bones underneath. What is the Action? The script will give you the clues. What is the actor Doing? It appears that Su is probably the best acting teacher in the Western word. She taught me all I know, as an honest actor and too as a stage director. Su is hard on her students, but that's because she want her students to become honest actors. I remember the first time I met Su, she convinced me what a dishonest actor I was. And I graduated from a reputable college with a BFA. Dear Su saw through the bad teachers I had and she straightened me out. L

Su,. you told me that Blanche is need! Wall to wall need.

The imaginary world... learning from this specificity!

UA-cam recommend it and I'm thankful for it

Gotta feel for those actors inhabiting a dark place to emotionally prepare.

Goddamn, love me some Alan Alda
