I think the reason why these actors act this realistic and great, is because they're not thinking I should do this and that to look more realistic, instead they are truly giving themselves to the moments, and say their lines with their whole being. Amazing acting and fantastic scenes, wow, I specifically loved "Benedict Cumberbatch"'s art. Thank you for all the hardworking, god bless you.
Hi there! I've been in shows and movies as a extra and some supporting roles for a couple years now and looking to audition for bigger roles in the future. Anyway I want to say a quick thank you because during that time I have been watching your classes to improve my acting. Also great choices for realistic acting :)
@@Ok-wb4du try to focus on the now, be present. If you see your mind wandering about the “future” or what if scenarios then practice to bring yourself to the present
Just finished watching the scenes.. Oh boy- there are some great ones. I don't think there is much left to say about the insanely talented Meryl Streep, pure emotion , just wonderful to watch. After that I really enjoyed the one of Viola Davis, I didn't know her until I watched the scene, but how she's trembling, having salvia all over her face and keeps going on without taking a breath does surely leave an expression behind.
Good start. You mentioned how Meryl’s part was “pure emotion,” but I would suggest going deeper into this. What made it seem so emotional for you? Was it the way she took her time, was it how she looked at the other actor, was it maybe the physical act of seeing her holding back tears attempting to stay strong, etc. what was it for you that made it so emotional, that without that one thing you may not have had the same answer of “pure emotion.” By going this far in detail we will understand more deeply, why we like a piece of work and what makes it work 👍🏼
So you saw the look in both their eyes and facial expressions. I’d also suggest looking into their physicality and identifying how that added to the portrayals of their part. Other points to consider are the camera angles, lighting involved, script, their intention behind the lines, levels of emotions (Sylvester’s character state of being is different from the beginning than the end), etc. We want to look at everything 👍🏼
Hi ! I am 16 years old french teenager, i was in a theatre club for five years. And now i am in my second years of high shcool, and i follow (finally) a theatre class. I want to practice more, but i want to get graduation (Le BAC in France) my intantion is to go study acting in an university in irland. I watch your videos for a few month now, and i follow your advices ( watch great acting, train on my voice and my body ect...) I watch, and right down your advices. But the most important one wich is "Work, Work, Work, Work..." Well you are right, but i don't have the good situation for it. I am a really anxious person, and i really have the hunger to become an actress, but i come back from shcool very late, and practice is become more difficult. I don't know what do do..
1. The last line of Daniel Day Lewis' performance really stood out to me. I could tell he meant it. "I'm the President of the United States...." 2. What stood out to me about Eddie Redmayne's performance was his eye acting and averting his eyes, staring off into space when he's deep in thought and also losing control of one of his feet while he's dancing. 3. Meryl Streep- I didn't feel like I was watching an actress. Had to remind myself it was Meryl lol 4. Benedict- Wow! I'm speechless 5. Viola- Speechless. Can't put her performance into words. 6. Kate- I'm no accent expert, but I thought her accent was good...and she seemed grounded in her performance. 7. Tobey- I zoned out...twice 8. Tom- made me tear up. Also very grounded 9. Sylvester- endearing scene but I don't know what to make of his acting 10. Natalie- nice Jackie accent
This is a good start, but I would suggest going far deeper into most of these. So for Eddie’s performance you saw specific physical details that added to his character and how his eyes told you a story. Those were good details, now for Meryl you’d mentioned you felt like you weren’t watching an actress anymore, but why? Was it the ease at which she spoke, was it something within her eyes, her physicality, her rate of speech, holding back tears, a combination of these things? I’d really look closer into these points. For Tobey’s scene you mentioned that you personally zoned out (and that’s completely fine, because we know acting is subjective), but I’d suggest asking yourself the question why? Why did you not like the story, was it his delivery, did the text seem forced, was it the camera angles, lack of proper music, etc. what made it unenjoyable for you? So again, good start, but I’d suggest going into greater detail. This will benefit you far greater in the long run 👍🏼
This is a fine start, but I might suggest trying to look a little deeper. Why did it feel so emotional for you? Was it because Benedict took his time, was it the writing of the script, the fact it was based off a true story, the music involved, the intention behind each line, the look in his eyes, the listening the characters had, all of this or some of this? I would trying to get much more specific if you could, you’ll find far more value in working within this very precise way 👍🏼
Nobody can match the great acting skills of great Daniel Day-Lewis I felt am watching real Lincoln. I loved how he expressed his anger and his command. Just perfect. Big fan of Daniel.
When I was 5 years old , I had my heart set on acting ! But when I was in year 2, I was being bullied which put me off acting because I lost my confidence , late 2019, I had some advice which helped me dearly , I’m now going back to acting school and hopefully, be a successful actress! (These vids really help me btw)! :)
I loved Cate Blanchett's "I too can command the wind sire!" monologue, the tone of her voice, the costumes, the set design, the acting are all amazing! I love how Cate Blanchett articulates her voice in the monologue, the costumes are very well made to fit the movie's era.
Hi today is a day we Indians 🇮🇳 celebrate teacher's day...so i just want to wish you happy teacher's day thank you so much for putting so much efforts to teach us acting...i also wanted to say you're video and you're course really really helpfull for me...won't ever be upset from the hate comments people who think your video is not worth watching without even watching your videos...You really the best teacher...😊❤️
I could not watch Sir Tobey Maguire's scene, but according to me many other scenes were brilliantly performed. 1) Sir Benedict Cumberbatch's scene was just phenomenal. The twitching of hands, the body language was believable to be of someone undergoing treatment. Emotions were brilliantly conveyed. 2) Ma'am Meryl Streep's acting was also phenomenal. The way she was sitting, the frustration she had in her eyes of not being able to connect with her daughter much and now that she doesn't have time, all these emotions were conveyed perfectly. 3) Sir Eddie Redmayne was also brilliant. He had the eyes of a learner when he was listening to the teacher. Of course the style of talking and body language added to the brilliance. 4) sir Daniel Day-Lewis had the body language of someone who has burden of responsibilities and the high pitched voice added to the brilliance of Sir as a great actor. Rest all other were very good , but i could not understand, with due respect, how was the performance of Sir Tom Hanks, Ma'am Kate Winslet and Ma'am Natalie Portman great. I found the performances very good and they are undoubtedly great performances but i want to seriously understand why these 3 performances are said to be brilliant.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 All were brilliant. I just want to increase my perception of brilliant performance. Please help.
I recently watched The Truman Show, I've always been a fan of Jim Carrey in The Ace Ventura films and it was very different to see him playing in some aspects a more serious role compared to Ace Ventura where he's always flamboyant and "larger than life" and whilst The Truman Show does still have classic "Carr-acting" moments, the way he goes from the oblivious Truman Burbank unaware that he's the most famous reality star on the planet, his home of SeaHaven is an elaborately constructed set and his fellow friends and colleagues actors! Observing him slowly incident by incident transitioning from the kindly, friendly oblivious guy to someone who's putting life and limb on the line to uncover the truth is incredibly fascinating, seeing such a change in character made to look so natural and effortless, i imagine the role must have been a great challenge but he made it look easy!
The scene of viola Davis was out of this world! I'm crying because of that scene and I didnt even know what the whole movie is about but her emotions are just so raw. She didnt try to look perfect as other people do when they act, she just stood there as if she would cry and talk to her real husband in her private space and didnt care how she would look and I'm just so fascinated.
I really like Eddie Redmayne’s scene. I don’t know how he does it, but it’s just the little things he does that make him so convincing and realistic as a character
About the Tom Hank scene I loved that scene because of how convincing and realistic you can feel about his acting, when he talks about death and the way he starts to lower his voice when he knows he's portraying a more serious theme and the way he tells it was what I liked most about the scene. Ps: thanks for doing this videos your content helps me a lot and I’m glad I’m found u
I love how first Meryl Streep’s tone of voice was soft and clear I also liked how she expressed her emotions (in her eyes especially) so realistically and effortlessly her facial expressions are pretty good as well.
Good, so there was a life you saw in the eyes of the character. This is an important aspect to remember when going into your self tapes/playing a role you’ve booked 👍🏼
I absolutely loved the scene with Natalie Portman. I have never watched the movie, so I had no idea what the context of the scene was. Something about her voice being so calm yet certain really intrigued me. The way she sounded laid back but still had a piercing stare into the eyes of the man she was talking to. It was subtle, but sometimes the subtle says the most. I also liked Viola Davis’ approach, which was not holding back and letting it all out. That mindset definitely made the scene more believable. The way she let the man speak, and you could see her having all these feelings build up inside of her, and then, she let them out after staying silent for so long.
I really enjoyed the scene with Viola Davis. She is an amazing actress. She really shows you what the character is going through. Her emotions seem raw and unfiltered as if she relates to what the character is going through.
My favorites were Merryl streep, Viola Davis, Nathalie Portman, and the one about "Normal." They really touched me, and it felt like I was feeling what they felt. It felt like I was in their shoes, because it was extremely realistic and very natural. The normal and Viola Davis scenes were so raw when it came to the emotions. It felt so real, and it wasn't boring at all.
Hi! I watched the performance of Daniel Day Lewis and I was fascinated by his amazing acting. (especially because the story was based on a real event) What I liked the most was the focus he had (and also the other actors) in such a serious and important scene. And the great costumes and lighting made the viewers feel even more like in the 19th century area. Great job!
These are great points to recognize and I would pay attention to these points in future scenes you observe (whether the ones in the description or else where). Focus is a good point which you mentioned. When an actor loses focus we (the audience) can tell relatively quickly. This can also be a helpful point to take note of when you begin doing self submissions and observing whether or not you are staying focused within the your scenes. Good work 👍🏼
I’d love to act in sci-fi series/movies because they look super cool but im shy af. I always need reassurance that I’m doing something right or going in the wrong direction. My acting teacher doesn’t talk to me as much because I’m very reserved and quiet, I’m extremely insecure but I’m working on my acting by observing others and practicing scripts ect. Honestly I don’t know if I’m a bad actor or my acting teacher doesn’t want me there.
The first clip was very good. It reminds me of a real life circumstance I may have seen before, and it brings that historic moment to life. Really good wording perhaps. The atmosphere is not too distracting.
Can you please do an acting advice video on Jennifer Lawrence, Saorise Ronan, and Florence Pugh? To me, they’re all some of my favorite actresses and they’re so talented. I’d love to hear their acting tips. :)
I’d have to say that my favorite scene was the Sylvester Stallone scene. Mainly because of all the ranges on emotions he shows to the other character, and the good writing was a part of why I liked it so much.
i love acting and i have been watching your videos these days and honestly u r AMAZING!!!!!! your classes have really helped me a lot, plese keep doing what you are doing, its really helpful, u r truly a gift.
I loved the scene with Viola Davis because I really liked the scenes Weber she way able to really show how different her characters are and how they make he become the character
Oooo I loveeee Viola Davis!! she’s a wonderful actress what I love about that scene first off was her facial expressions they were so incredibly raw and believable the emotions in her eyes and face was amazingly effortless I also love how the way she was talking fast when she was giving out but her voice was still clear.loved that scence😩👌
I’ve been watching a lot of things about acting and I’ve recently just signed up for acting class that starts in less than 3 weeks, im so excited 😆 hopefully I can act on tv in the future.
I loved the Benedict C. Scene I could really feel the emotion. And their facial expressions,their body movements and the sound in their voices really made it believable. :)
We are all Actors & Artist of Our Own Story of Our life & We are The (Co-creators) of Our Own Personal Reality!!! So mightiest well develop Our Own Desired & Purposeful inner/outer Self Image☆ We must Stay connect w/Good Mentors like YOU☆☆☆☆☆
My way of viewing them: 1) Lincoln "Now" scene: good (for the force that it has, decision) 2) The theory of everything: good (stupefaction) 3) Meryl Streep heartbreaking monologue: good (unicity, sincerity) 4) Viola Davis acting scene: okay/good (emotional, intense) 5) Steve Jobs movie clip: good (unicity, emotions) 6) A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood: good (realism, humanity) 7) Rocky Balboa: good (just amazing!) 8) Jackie Movie clip: bad (too easy, strange pauses, strange talk.. i felt it unnatural)
Robert De Niro as Mr Sather in Angel Heart is my No#1 favorite movie preformance, Micky Rorke meets him in a dinner, as they talk he roll's a hard boild egg on the table, shatters the shell slowly peels the egg then starts to eat the meat of it, he must of been 100% concertrated and relaxed. Paul Bacchus Esq
I love Benedict Cumberbatch scene because he played the character so perfectly like see all the hand movements along with the dialogues delivery and the expression on his face all at the same time that's make that scene to look great in my opinion and also in that scene alone he changed his expression so fluently from crying to smiling that also makes that a great scene Please let me know what's your opinion about this whether I am right or not 😄😄
This is not a bad start. The detail which you noticed on his facial is good. I would also suggest doing the same when you are speaking on his physicality as well. When you mentioned “all the hand movements” I would suggest giving more detail on this. What about his hand movements (or rather what about his entire body)? Basically what you are seeing is how Benedict’s physicality lines up perfectly with both his character circumstances and emotional state within this moment. Can you see how more detail was put into that sentence, rather than just referring to the movements of his hands? Also, I’d suggest looking into other aspects of this piece that contributed to the success of this scene. What else do you think added to this scene, that if it was taken away, the scene may no longer work? For example, is it the music, script, lighting, camera angles, Benedict’s connection to the text, the way Ben took his time, the listening he displayed, the transition between his emotional states adding to the ‘levels’ within in the scene, etc. I would look further into some of these other aspects as well. You’ll find a lot of benefit within this way of being specific :) great start 👍🏼
@@TheActorsAcademy yeah I think music , the camera angles , dim lighting, closeup shots these are also responsible for this scene to look great and by the way thanks for pointing out my mistakes because I really didn't think about those before😄😄😄😄
Of course, I’m always glad to help as much as I can :) also, don’t think about what you did as a mistake. It’s not a mistake, rather you are actively progressing and learning (which is very good). All I’m doing is helping expand your awareness :)
I loved the Lincoln monologue. My reason is because the way Daniel Day-Lewis puts his voice, the lighting in the scene is very dim and dark which sets the tone of the seriousness of the scene in my opinion. The make-up also really makes us think that Daniel Day-Lewis is Lincoln, along with the brilliant acting in the voice and expressions. I could feel the desperation Lincoln was having, he was tired of the other men arguing over the topic and not actually doing something. Lincoln actually snapping them all out of the argument and putting his hand on the table really meant that he was dead serious. Lincoln wanted the Amendment passed insanely bad, and I could tell by the way his voice sounded. It sounded very desperate and serious, and frantic. Not frantic to get this over with, but a tone in his voice that said he wanted this so badly for the future generations like he said. The costumes really do help with the make-up in the scene and the entire movie. In this case, the make-up, set design, acting, hair-styling, lighting, costumes ALL stand out as factors. As all of the factors come together to create a scene of pure straight-forward purpose, it is a great scene.
i really liked the tom hanks scene because he was the character. i didn't feel like i was watching tom hanks acting, i felt like i was watching his character - it felt like a very real scene which just so happened to be recorded. the way how he took on the role and became his character was just memorising for me. i'm finding it hard to explain this in a way that makes sense, but what i saw was not tom hanks, what i saw was his character, and i believe that's why the scene is so appealing. he became his character and portrayed him in the realest way i believe is possible. it's also the way how he uses his voice and facial expressions - when he begins talking about death, his voice (although very soft to begin with) seems to become softer since he is talking about a difficult subject, and he's aware of the other character in the scene who appears to be close to death. right before this (and then after when he repeats 'anything mention-able is manageable') he also looks towards the other man in the scene, signifying that he is also directing the speech to him. to me, by him directing that little 'speech' to other characters shows his awareness of other characters in the scene (even if it could be part of the direction in the script). he's aware of his fellow characters in scene. as i said, i am having some trouble trying to explain it, but the softness in his voice and facial expressions reflects on the character, along with his awareness of the scene.
I love the Theory of Everything. The scene is extroadonary, what I like about the scene are the subtle expressions of Eddie Redmayne's character. I like how in the beginning, you could easily point out how Stephen was actually trying to find the actual meaning of the black hole, due to his face expressions. His eyes were staring right at the blackboard in an awe kind of way. His head kind of tilting in a way of curiousity. Stephen wanted to learn and figure out the meaning of the Black hole, yet I could easily (I don't know how, maybe you could help me figure this out?) find out that the other people in the class room, especially the student right next to Hawking was just learning to learn to pass a test. Hawking showed true interest in the hypothesis. The lighting I think really helped show Hawking's point of interest. It also I think lit certain parts of the room. The lighting gave the scene a very serious tone, kind of like how they did in Lincoln like I mentioned before. The acting, lighting, make-up really do go well in this scene. They went from serious (being in the class room, dark moody setting). To being in the wide open nature of the park of the university (daylight, bright blue sky, bright colors of the grass, the cheerful tone in the girls voice as she and Hawking talk about the Black hole in a fun way, which is also another indication that the scene is more free than the dark serious tone of the class room).
Hey brother , thanks for sharing these videos they are great . I saw the tom hanks one and i loved that video because it was hard tell if he was acting or if he really came to meet that sick guy. It was exactly like how regular person would go to meet to someone ho is on his last bed and specially the way he would talk and behave with everyone in that particular situation . His performance was amazing and so real .
Good start, so you appreciated the honesty that Tom came into the scene with/how he acted in the space with complete ease. You saw a similarity between simply real life and this scene. It’s important to realize these points, especially when looking into your own work. You may also want to attempt going even further with your exploration. What were the aspects that made it feel like real life? Was it the unforced way at which Tom spoke his lines, was it his listening, was it the look in his eyes, etc. Then you could look at the external factors: the script, music, camera angles, lighting, editing, etc. There are so many things we can find when looking into a piece of work. Great start 👍🏼
With the Eddie Redmayne one i thought that the way he was looking like he was thinking all the time really stood out for me and was a major addition to his character. I liked the soundtrack and how it added to the scene, i thought Eddie moving his eyes in odd movements really made it look like he was thinking. As well as his awkward body movement showed that the character was not the most athletic person.
Hey I'm 13 years old and I wanna be an actress but I don't have an agent and I really hope you can help me I like your videos they are helpful but I hope you do more videos about auditioning for Netflix or movies plz!!
In the movie fences the Scene Pulled me in is she was acting her self and being realistic with it so I liked that and it helped me to be realistic while I practice acting and be my self but playing another character 😊
My favorite actor is Chadwick Bosemam 😔 And it is still Michael B Jordan and my favorite Actress is Tia Mowry and Loretta Devine Edit: I like the movie fences too its one of the links in the description
I saw your videos about moving to LA or NYC, you told better start in your own area but I'm from India and I want to become an actor in Hollywood. Where should I move to begin my career as an actor? NYC or LA?
I like the Sylvester Stallone one, its just an amazing contrast between the raging and inexperienced youth vs the calm , settled and experienced man. The tone of the scene is amazing. I like his rawness, may be just because I'm a sly guy!!!! And what do you think about the Couch Carter movie?
hey, trying searching from monologues or scenes from plays or drama texts or even try writing some yourself and record yourself saying the lines, basically over and over again, i recently learnt that acting should feel like nothing, like you're literally doing nothing, it should feel normal because acting is reacting, kay, u have the talent, and the passion, don't let fear take over.
Ok so I only have the time to do 5 right now cause I actually need to record a monologue but I’ll come back and do the rest another time. So I think my favourite out of the first five is umm it’s actually not at the top of the list cause there all great but I’m just going to start with this one. So bennedicts cucumber ?? Idk I liked that scene cause it was so believable and real through all the switches. Cause like it’s sad it’s a very sad scene like you can see all the hope in his eyes when he looks at his machine it’s all he has and that provokes empathy. then he starts crying and the minute after that he’s laughing and that’s what I mean by switch he does a great job of making that believable and as it should be because he has a good friend who’s trying to cheer him up. Then that happens again he goes from sad to cheered up again to a kind of hopeful inspiring ending. Then there’s Meryl Streep scene and I like that one because of the relationship and listening to each other even when they were arguing and their voices overlapped it was real and believable and made sense and when Meryl cried that other actor was not only listening but feeling what her mother was feeling and she started crying to so the relationship there was really strong. Then violas scene I liked a lot because she was so unselfish and that’s something I aspire to, not being selfish while acting. I remember watching an interview of the Les Misérables movie and Anne hathaway said that it would have been selfish to sing the song the pretty way and I knew exactly what she meant by that cause that song she sang could have been done so vocally beautifully and technically but it wasent. which made it real and didnt give anne Hathaway this credit to her vocal ability. So seeing viola all snotty nosed and screaming in an ugly dark deep voice it’s so unattractive but so real and so selfless and I like that. Then there’s Eddies scene and I like the silence in it and the infatuation and fascination he has in whatever science thing that guy was talking about, and I like how you know what’s going on without him actually saying anything for the first few minutes. Then the Daniel day Lewis scene was interesting I was confused at first cause I didn’t know what was going on but I like how passionate he was. Doing what he wanted to do which was make a change but I feel like I’d have to watch the whole movie to understand that president scene a little more.
Very strong and very detailed perspectives 👍🏼👍🏼 now a question I might ask, is do all these actors share the same qualities? The beauty in the ugly, the passion in the text, the silence in their thoughts, the listening required? It’s a very important point to consider and can help us within our own works. If you wanted to go even further with this, you can also consider the assistance of music, the text itself, camera angles, lighting, editing, costuming, etc. these points also add in and can highten or diminish an actors work. Good job 👍🏼
The Actors Academy so I finished watching the other five well four (the toney McGuire video is not available btw or maybe it is and I can’t see it cause I’m from Canada) but anyways for the most part I feel like they do all share those same qualities depending on where they are and what their doing in their scene. Also something I see that’s always there is the relationship and the dependency on the other person their talking to. I feel like what the actors do, say, or think can change when their affected by the person their talking to? Like two people can go from screaming and arguing to listening intently to the other person to complete silence that’s just as loud as the screaming, or crying or talking e.t.c and another thing I noticed when you talked about lighting, filming and stuff. I tried to notice that a bit more cause I never really think of it like I know the camera switches and is on the different people and stuff but you never really pay attention to that but something I just realized. Like JUST REALIZED 😂👌🏾 is that the camera isent always on the person whose talking I rewatched some scenes and sometimes when a person is taking you hear their voice but you don’t see them. your seeing the person who their talking to. I’ve obviously watched and seen that but I never really payed attention to such a small detail like that and I think such a little thing like that is so important cause you see how their reacting. Anyways that’s all I have thx for the video I’m always looking for ways to practice and this was a helpful excericise I tried to pay attention which is not something I’m always good at. So thx🙏🏽
Yes, you need to be realistic... but shouldn’t you also want to be interesting? Entertaining? I think maybe acting TOO realistically can be a reason why you may seem boring. Great aren’t only realistic, they’re engaging and relatable. But this is great!! Very helpful! Thanks for this, nonetheless🙏 !!
Hello! How helpful would you say the ten hour class is for a young actor with not much experience? I am taking acting classes and my goal is to work in film of some sort. Thanks!
I’ve always known about Meryl Streep but never watched anything that had her in it. Today was the first time I’ve seen her acting and it’s just wow. I think what made it so amazing for me was really a bunch of things. The timing of when she paused, when she speed up, how she was basically holding back tears, how she reacted when the other actor occasionally talked, and how with such a small frame she was moving around her head and upper body in a very natural way that matched her what she was saying. While how you said to look at it definitely taught me why I liked the scene it still didn’t really click on how I can implement this without it seeming forced. Do you have any advice for how to incorporate this into my acting? Are there specific way to tone my instincts to make my acting look as visually interest yet still natural as this? In what ways should I practice for this or is it just something that needs to already be a part of how you react and talk?
I love Al Pacino's Frank Slade in scent of a woman like I am sort of obsessed by it . But I don't that much like his other role John milton in devils advocate. I've thought about it so much but I can't figure it out!!
Could you do a video where you film a audition/scene yourself to show us how you analyse it afterwards and what is important for you in that scene - eye contact, emotional hills and valleys, physicality, ...? 🙏😄
Hi, I don’t know if you’ll see this but it would mean so much if you can respond. There is an old animated show you’ve probably heard of called avatar the last air bender, and Netflix is making a live action remake of it. They announced about a year ago that they would be doing open call auditions online in late 2019, but then covid happened. I’ve been wanting to get into acting for forever, and since I’m such a huge fan of the show, I thought it would be a good idea to audition. I don’t have any professional experience, and I have no way of telling if I actually have talent or not, but I want to try. I made a resumé and took my own headshots. There is a specific character who I am quite similar to (in my opinion) that I want to audition for. I’m assuming that it would be a self-tape because they said the first round will be online. Do you know how I can stay updated for new information, how else I can prepare, if I have a chance at all, etc.? Thanks for all of your videos they’ve been so helpful!
Hello there! I been thinking about becoming an actor for ages now. But I don't have any experiences. And I have been watching your channel for few years now. What the best way to get some experiences and get knowledge? Just keep watching the videos and etc? And other thing, I really like Daniel Day Lewis' scene!
Hi,so this is unrelated to this video but does Netflix do open casting for the umbrella academy? If so please can you do a video giving us some tips on how to apply and audition for a role?
Hey, I'm pretty new to your channel but I've gained a large interest in an actor career over the past few months and have been doing a ton of research that could possibly help (including watching some of your vids). So I recently graduated from high school and I'm 18 and me and my mom have been struggling financially for all my life but now we have a nice place and she has a great non-profit business shes made to help others in hard times (disaster relief) and atm she helps ppl through this pandemic with food delivery for free and I have just been helping around with that although im beginning to think this is the career I want to commit to, acting. I have no experience but a great talent to be very persistent with things I put my mind to. If there is any next/first step I should take where and what should it be??? I live in Florida and don't really have any big connections to any thing acting related and I just really need to know where exactly should I start. If you actually reading this comment thank you so much and I really do appreciate your content as well as if your going to reply to this. :)
I strongly suggest having a second job in mind, You cannot rely on acting as a proper career unfortunately - I suggest getting an agent and taking alot of acting classes to gain more experience, you can even study actors in movies ect.
Please can you make a video For Asian actors(Indians)That how can we start a carrier in Acting and What if we want to come in Netflix originals And wanna come to US
Thanks very much. I asked some questions before but you didn't answer. I want to ask that the backstage, I applied for jobs but didn't work because I didn't pay, why is that.
@@TheActorsAcademy but I don't have any bank account, isn't there any other way or is there any other website that I can use to find auditions without paying. And pls how do I check for nickelodeon auditions. Can you pls help Me

“Acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances.”
Sound like an inspirational quote ngl
🥰
@@BenjiXin yeah Stanford meisner said that
I think the reason why these actors act this realistic and great, is because they're not thinking I should do this and that to look more realistic, instead they are truly giving themselves to the moments, and say their lines with their whole being.
Amazing acting and fantastic scenes, wow, I specifically loved "Benedict Cumberbatch"'s art.
Thank you for all the hardworking, god bless you.
Hi there!
I've been in shows and movies as a extra and some supporting roles for a couple years now and looking to audition for bigger roles in the future. Anyway I want to say a quick thank you because during that time I have been watching your classes to improve my acting. Also great choices for realistic acting :)
Thank you for your kind words, I’m very glad I’ve been able to be of service :) keep pushing forward 👍🏼
@@TheActorsAcademy hello. You may not see this but I’m 12 and wondering how to get over anxiety
@@Ok-wb4du try to focus on the now, be present. If you see your mind wandering about the “future” or what if scenarios then practice to bring yourself to the present
Just finished watching the scenes.. Oh boy- there are some great ones.
I don't think there is much left to say about the insanely talented Meryl Streep, pure emotion , just wonderful to watch.
After that I really enjoyed the one of Viola Davis, I didn't know her until I watched the scene, but how she's trembling, having salvia all over her face and keeps going on without taking a breath does surely leave an expression behind.
Good start. You mentioned how Meryl’s part was “pure emotion,” but I would suggest going deeper into this. What made it seem so emotional for you? Was it the way she took her time, was it how she looked at the other actor, was it maybe the physical act of seeing her holding back tears attempting to stay strong, etc. what was it for you that made it so emotional, that without that one thing you may not have had the same answer of “pure emotion.” By going this far in detail we will understand more deeply, why we like a piece of work and what makes it work 👍🏼
@@TheActorsAcademy good point. Thank you so much.
I love the Kate Winslet and Sylvester Stallone scenes. I can see the perfect emotions written on their face.
So you saw the look in both their eyes and facial expressions. I’d also suggest looking into their physicality and identifying how that added to the portrayals of their part. Other points to consider are the camera angles, lighting involved, script, their intention behind the lines, levels of emotions (Sylvester’s character state of being is different from the beginning than the end), etc. We want to look at everything 👍🏼
@@TheActorsAcademy thank you so much. I'm really grateful for your help💛💛. I will look deeper into it.
Hi ! I am 16 years old french teenager, i was in a theatre club for five years. And now i am in my second years of high shcool, and i follow (finally) a theatre class. I want to practice more, but i want to get graduation (Le BAC in France) my intantion is to go study acting in an university in irland. I watch your videos for a few month now, and i follow your advices ( watch great acting, train on my voice and my body ect...) I watch, and right down your advices. But the most important one wich is "Work, Work, Work, Work..." Well you are right, but i don't have the good situation for it. I am a really anxious person, and i really have the hunger to become an actress, but i come back from shcool very late, and practice is become more difficult. I don't know what do do..
1. The last line of Daniel Day Lewis' performance really stood out to me. I could tell he meant it. "I'm the President of the United States...."
2. What stood out to me about Eddie Redmayne's performance was his eye acting and averting his eyes, staring off into space when he's deep in thought and also losing control of one of his feet while he's dancing.
3. Meryl Streep- I didn't feel like I was watching an actress. Had to remind myself it was Meryl lol
4. Benedict- Wow! I'm speechless
5. Viola- Speechless. Can't put her performance into words.
6. Kate- I'm no accent expert, but I thought her accent was good...and she seemed grounded in her performance.
7. Tobey- I zoned out...twice
8. Tom- made me tear up. Also very grounded
9. Sylvester- endearing scene but I don't know what to make of his acting
10. Natalie- nice Jackie accent
This is a good start, but I would suggest going far deeper into most of these. So for Eddie’s performance you saw specific physical details that added to his character and how his eyes told you a story. Those were good details, now for Meryl you’d mentioned you felt like you weren’t watching an actress anymore, but why? Was it the ease at which she spoke, was it something within her eyes, her physicality, her rate of speech, holding back tears, a combination of these things? I’d really look closer into these points. For Tobey’s scene you mentioned that you personally zoned out (and that’s completely fine, because we know acting is subjective), but I’d suggest asking yourself the question why? Why did you not like the story, was it his delivery, did the text seem forced, was it the camera angles, lack of proper music, etc. what made it unenjoyable for you? So again, good start, but I’d suggest going into greater detail. This will benefit you far greater in the long run 👍🏼
“YOU are the instrument”
This really got me. Thank you! ✨
I love Benedict Cumberbatch’s scene. The scene between him and Keira Knightley was so good, it felt emotional.
This is a fine start, but I might suggest trying to look a little deeper. Why did it feel so emotional for you? Was it because Benedict took his time, was it the writing of the script, the fact it was based off a true story, the music involved, the intention behind each line, the look in his eyes, the listening the characters had, all of this or some of this? I would trying to get much more specific if you could, you’ll find far more value in working within this very precise way 👍🏼
The Actors Academy alright I’ll work on that. Thank you👍
Nobody can match the great acting skills of great Daniel Day-Lewis I felt am watching real Lincoln. I loved how he expressed his anger and his command. Just perfect. Big fan of Daniel.
When I was 5 years old , I had my heart set on acting ! But when I was in year 2, I was being bullied which put me off acting because I lost my confidence , late 2019, I had some advice which helped me dearly , I’m now going back to acting school and hopefully, be a successful actress! (These vids really help me btw)! :)
Wish u all the luck!😍
I loved Cate Blanchett's "I too can command the wind sire!" monologue, the tone of her voice, the costumes, the set design, the acting are all amazing! I love how Cate Blanchett articulates her voice in the monologue, the costumes are very well made to fit the movie's era.
Hi today is a day we Indians 🇮🇳 celebrate teacher's day...so i just want to wish you happy teacher's day thank you so much for putting so much efforts to teach us acting...i also wanted to say you're video and you're course really really helpfull for me...won't ever be upset from the hate comments people who think your video is not worth watching without even watching your videos...You really the best teacher...😊❤️
Thank you very much for your kind words, much appreciation 🙏🏼
Meryl Streeps performance (as usual) is genius. It’s believable because it’s raw, it’s exposing a life, a humanity within that life.
I could not watch Sir Tobey Maguire's scene, but according to me many other scenes were brilliantly performed.
1) Sir Benedict Cumberbatch's scene was just phenomenal. The twitching of hands, the body language was believable to be of someone undergoing treatment. Emotions were brilliantly conveyed.
2) Ma'am Meryl Streep's acting was also phenomenal. The way she was sitting, the frustration she had in her eyes of not being able to connect with her daughter much and now that she doesn't have time, all these emotions were conveyed perfectly.
3) Sir Eddie Redmayne was also brilliant. He had the eyes of a learner when he was listening to the teacher. Of course the style of talking and body language added to the brilliance.
4) sir Daniel Day-Lewis had the body language of someone who has burden of responsibilities and the high pitched voice added to the brilliance of Sir as a great actor.
Rest all other were very good , but i could not understand, with due respect, how was the performance of Sir Tom Hanks, Ma'am Kate Winslet and Ma'am Natalie Portman great. I found the performances very good and they are undoubtedly great performances but i want to seriously understand why these 3 performances are said to be brilliant.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
All were brilliant. I just want to increase my perception of brilliant performance. Please help.
I recently watched The Truman Show, I've always been a fan of Jim Carrey in The Ace Ventura films and it was very different to see him playing in some aspects a more serious role compared to Ace Ventura where he's always flamboyant and "larger than life" and whilst The Truman Show does still have classic "Carr-acting" moments, the way he goes from the oblivious Truman Burbank unaware that he's the most famous reality star on the planet, his home of SeaHaven is an elaborately constructed set and his fellow friends and colleagues actors!
Observing him slowly incident by incident transitioning from the kindly, friendly oblivious guy to someone who's putting life and limb on the line to uncover the truth is incredibly fascinating, seeing such a change in character made to look so natural and effortless, i imagine the role must have been a great challenge but he made it look easy!
The scene of viola Davis was out of this world! I'm crying because of that scene and I didnt even know what the whole movie is about but her emotions are just so raw.
She didnt try to look perfect as other people do when they act, she just stood there as if she would cry and talk to her real husband in her private space and didnt care how she would look and I'm just so fascinated.
I really like Eddie Redmayne’s scene. I don’t know how he does it, but it’s just the little things he does that make him so convincing and realistic as a character
About the Tom Hank scene I loved that scene because of how convincing and realistic you can feel about his acting, when he talks about death and the way he starts to lower his voice when he knows he's portraying a more serious theme and the way he tells it was what I liked most about the scene.
Ps: thanks for doing this videos your content helps me a lot and I’m glad I’m found u

I live in America and I hope they speak on this Bc I didn’t know :0
I love how first Meryl Streep’s tone of voice was soft and clear I also liked how she expressed her emotions (in her eyes especially) so realistically and effortlessly her facial expressions are pretty good as well.
Helpful as always.
:)
I loved Kate Winslet’s performance because you could see the emotion in her eyes❤️
Good, so there was a life you saw in the eyes of the character. This is an important aspect to remember when going into your self tapes/playing a role you’ve booked 👍🏼
The Actors Academy Thank you for replying!😊
I will make sure to remember this aspect👍
Your videos are so helpful😁
I absolutely loved the scene with Natalie Portman. I have never watched the movie, so I had no idea what the context of the scene was. Something about her voice being so calm yet certain really intrigued me. The way she sounded laid back but still had a piercing stare into the eyes of the man she was talking to. It was subtle, but sometimes the subtle says the most.
I also liked Viola Davis’ approach, which was not holding back and letting it all out. That mindset definitely made the scene more believable. The way she let the man speak, and you could see her having all these feelings build up inside of her, and then, she let them out after staying silent for so long.
I really enjoyed the scene with Viola Davis. She is an amazing actress. She really shows you what the character is going through. Her emotions seem raw and unfiltered as if she relates to what the character is going through.
My favorites were Merryl streep, Viola Davis, Nathalie Portman, and the one about "Normal." They really touched me, and it felt like I was feeling what they felt. It felt like I was in their shoes, because it was extremely realistic and very natural. The normal and Viola Davis scenes were so raw when it came to the emotions. It felt so real, and it wasn't boring at all.
Hi! I watched the performance of Daniel Day Lewis and I was fascinated by his amazing acting. (especially because the story was based on a real event)
What I liked the most was the focus he had (and also the other actors) in such a serious and important scene. And the great costumes and lighting made the viewers feel even more like in the 19th century area. Great job!
These are great points to recognize and I would pay attention to these points in future scenes you observe (whether the ones in the description or else where). Focus is a good point which you mentioned. When an actor loses focus we (the audience) can tell relatively quickly. This can also be a helpful point to take note of when you begin doing self submissions and observing whether or not you are staying focused within the your scenes. Good work 👍🏼
The Actors Academy Thank you! :)
I’d love to act in sci-fi series/movies because they look super cool but im shy af. I always need reassurance that I’m doing something right or going in the wrong direction. My acting teacher doesn’t talk to me as much because I’m very reserved and quiet, I’m extremely insecure but I’m working on my acting by observing others and practicing scripts ect. Honestly I don’t know if I’m a bad actor or my acting teacher doesn’t want me there.
About Meryl Streep Scene i really love the way she shows her emotions, and how she delivers her scripts.
The first clip was very good. It reminds me of a real life circumstance I may have seen before, and it brings that historic moment to life. Really good wording perhaps. The atmosphere is not too distracting.
Your work is so helpful and inspiring. Thank you sooo much!
:)
Can you please do an acting advice video on Jennifer Lawrence, Saorise Ronan, and Florence Pugh? To me, they’re all some of my favorite actresses and they’re so talented. I’d love to hear their acting tips. :)
I’d have to say that my favorite scene was the Sylvester Stallone scene. Mainly because of all the ranges on emotions he shows to the other character, and the good writing was a part of why I liked it so much.
i love acting and i have been watching your videos these days and honestly u r AMAZING!!!!!! your classes have really helped me a lot, plese keep doing what you are doing, its really helpful, u r truly a gift.
I loved the scene with Viola Davis because I really liked the scenes Weber she way able to really show how different her characters are and how they make he become the character
Oooo I loveeee Viola Davis!! she’s a wonderful actress what I love about that scene first off was her facial expressions they were so incredibly raw and believable the emotions in her eyes and face was amazingly effortless I also love how the way she was talking fast when she was giving out but her voice was still clear.loved that scence😩👌
I’ve been watching a lot of things about acting and I’ve recently just signed up for acting class that starts in less than 3 weeks, im so excited 😆 hopefully I can act on tv in the future.
hows the class going?
I loved the Benedict C. Scene I could really feel the emotion. And their facial expressions,their body movements and the sound in their voices really made it believable. :)

Amazing Video!, this is just what I was looking for.
My way of viewing them:
1) Lincoln "Now" scene: good (for the force that it has, decision)
2) The theory of everything: good (stupefaction)
3) Meryl Streep heartbreaking monologue: good (unicity, sincerity)
4) Viola Davis acting scene: okay/good (emotional, intense)
5) Steve Jobs movie clip: good (unicity, emotions)
6) A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood: good (realism, humanity)
7) Rocky Balboa: good (just amazing!)
8) Jackie Movie clip: bad (too easy, strange pauses, strange talk.. i felt it unnatural)

Recently stumbled across your channel and your videos are great, thank you for the the valuable information you provide. 💙👍🏻
I love Benedict Cumberbatch scene because he played the character so perfectly like see all the hand movements along with the dialogues delivery and the expression on his face all at the same time that's make that scene to look great in my opinion and also in that scene alone he changed his expression so fluently from crying to smiling that also makes that a great scene
Please let me know what's your opinion about this whether I am right or not 😄😄
This is not a bad start. The detail which you noticed on his facial is good. I would also suggest doing the same when you are speaking on his physicality as well. When you mentioned “all the hand movements” I would suggest giving more detail on this. What about his hand movements (or rather what about his entire body)? Basically what you are seeing is how Benedict’s physicality lines up perfectly with both his character circumstances and emotional state within this moment. Can you see how more detail was put into that sentence, rather than just referring to the movements of his hands? Also, I’d suggest looking into other aspects of this piece that contributed to the success of this scene. What else do you think added to this scene, that if it was taken away, the scene may no longer work? For example, is it the music, script, lighting, camera angles, Benedict’s connection to the text, the way Ben took his time, the listening he displayed, the transition between his emotional states adding to the ‘levels’ within in the scene, etc. I would look further into some of these other aspects as well. You’ll find a lot of benefit within this way of being specific :) great start 👍🏼
@@TheActorsAcademy yeah I think music , the camera angles , dim lighting, closeup shots these are also responsible for this scene to look great and by the way thanks for pointing out my mistakes because I really didn't think about those before😄😄😄😄
Of course, I’m always glad to help as much as I can :) also, don’t think about what you did as a mistake. It’s not a mistake, rather you are actively progressing and learning (which is very good). All I’m doing is helping expand your awareness :)
@@TheActorsAcademy :) :)😄
You are amazing 🙌
I loved the Lincoln monologue. My reason is because the way Daniel Day-Lewis puts his voice, the lighting in the scene is very dim and dark which sets the tone of the seriousness of the scene in my opinion. The make-up also really makes us think that Daniel Day-Lewis is Lincoln, along with the brilliant acting in the voice and expressions. I could feel the desperation Lincoln was having, he was tired of the other men arguing over the topic and not actually doing something. Lincoln actually snapping them all out of the argument and putting his hand on the table really meant that he was dead serious. Lincoln wanted the Amendment passed insanely bad, and I could tell by the way his voice sounded. It sounded very desperate and serious, and frantic. Not frantic to get this over with, but a tone in his voice that said he wanted this so badly for the future generations like he said. The costumes really do help with the make-up in the scene and the entire movie. In this case, the make-up, set design, acting, hair-styling, lighting, costumes ALL stand out as factors. As all of the factors come together to create a scene of pure straight-forward purpose, it is a great scene.
I will practice my acting everyday thanks really loved this video
i really liked the tom hanks scene because he was the character. i didn't feel like i was watching tom hanks acting, i felt like i was watching his character - it felt like a very real scene which just so happened to be recorded. the way how he took on the role and became his character was just memorising for me. i'm finding it hard to explain this in a way that makes sense, but what i saw was not tom hanks, what i saw was his character, and i believe that's why the scene is so appealing. he became his character and portrayed him in the realest way i believe is possible. it's also the way how he uses his voice and facial expressions - when he begins talking about death, his voice (although very soft to begin with) seems to become softer since he is talking about a difficult subject, and he's aware of the other character in the scene who appears to be close to death. right before this (and then after when he repeats 'anything mention-able is manageable') he also looks towards the other man in the scene, signifying that he is also directing the speech to him. to me, by him directing that little 'speech' to other characters shows his awareness of other characters in the scene (even if it could be part of the direction in the script). he's aware of his fellow characters in scene. as i said, i am having some trouble trying to explain it, but the softness in his voice and facial expressions reflects on the character, along with his awareness of the scene.
I love the Theory of Everything. The scene is extroadonary, what I like about the scene are the subtle expressions of Eddie Redmayne's character. I like how in the beginning, you could easily point out how Stephen was actually trying to find the actual meaning of the black hole, due to his face expressions. His eyes were staring right at the blackboard in an awe kind of way. His head kind of tilting in a way of curiousity. Stephen wanted to learn and figure out the meaning of the Black hole, yet I could easily (I don't know how, maybe you could help me figure this out?) find out that the other people in the class room, especially the student right next to Hawking was just learning to learn to pass a test. Hawking showed true interest in the hypothesis. The lighting I think really helped show Hawking's point of interest.
It also I think lit certain parts of the room. The lighting gave the scene a very serious tone, kind of like how they did in Lincoln like I mentioned before. The acting, lighting, make-up really do go well in this scene. They went from serious (being in the class room, dark moody setting). To being in the wide open nature of the park of the university (daylight, bright blue sky, bright colors of the grass, the cheerful tone in the girls voice as she and Hawking talk about the Black hole in a fun way, which is also another indication that the scene is more free than the dark serious tone of the class room).
love your videos!
I loved the lincon scene because of how much emotion there was. it felt so real.
Thanks man your so insperational.
At times i just feel like giving up but when i watch your vids i feel happy thanks bro.👍👍👍👍
Great message ! Thank you
You are so welcome
I really loved the Benedict one he did really well when conveying the character’s emotions
Hey brother , thanks for sharing these videos
they are great . I saw the tom hanks one and i loved that video because it was hard tell if he was acting or if he really came to meet that sick guy. It was exactly like how regular person would go to meet to someone ho is on his last bed and specially the way he would talk and behave with everyone in that particular situation . His performance was amazing and so real .
Good start, so you appreciated the honesty that Tom came into the scene with/how he acted in the space with complete ease. You saw a similarity between simply real life and this scene. It’s important to realize these points, especially when looking into your own work. You may also want to attempt going even further with your exploration. What were the aspects that made it feel like real life? Was it the unforced way at which Tom spoke his lines, was it his listening, was it the look in his eyes, etc. Then you could look at the external factors: the script, music, camera angles, lighting, editing, etc. There are so many things we can find when looking into a piece of work. Great start 👍🏼
@@TheActorsAcademy thank you .
Can I have your advice? I don't have American accent.. Do I need to learn for acting? (I am from greece 🇬🇷)
With the Eddie Redmayne one i thought that the way he was looking like he was thinking all the time really stood out for me and was a major addition to his character. I liked the soundtrack and how it added to the scene, i thought Eddie moving his eyes in odd movements really made it look like he was thinking. As well as his awkward body movement showed that the character was not the most athletic person.
Hey I'm 13 years old and I wanna be an actress but I don't have an agent and I really hope you can help me I like your videos they are helpful but I hope you do more videos about auditioning for Netflix or movies plz!!

In the movie fences the Scene Pulled me in is she was acting her self and being realistic with it so I liked that and it helped me to be realistic while I practice acting and be my self but playing another character 😊
My favorite actor is Chadwick Bosemam 😔 And it is still Michael B Jordan and my favorite Actress is Tia Mowry and Loretta Devine
Edit: I like the movie fences too its one of the links in the description
Like your new theme. 👍
I saw your videos about moving to LA or NYC, you told better start in your own area but I'm from India and I want to become an actor in Hollywood. Where should I move to begin my career as an actor? NYC or LA?
Ok sounds good I’ll try it out
I like the Sylvester Stallone one, its just an amazing contrast between the raging and inexperienced youth vs the calm , settled and experienced man. The tone of the scene is amazing. I like his rawness, may be just because I'm a sly guy!!!! And what do you think about the Couch Carter movie?
Hi, i think I have the talent, But I've never acted before. Because I'm so scared. I really want to start taking it seriously but how?
hey, trying searching from monologues or scenes from plays or drama texts or even try writing some yourself and record yourself saying the lines, basically over and over again, i recently learnt that acting should feel like nothing, like you're literally doing nothing, it should feel normal because acting is reacting, kay, u have the talent, and the passion, don't let fear take over.
@@kayleeclark9596 hmmn thanks, I'll try

@@Bbewwfangirlxoxo19 hey, no probs.
Obadan Naomi hey I’m working on my acting my tiktok is crappyacting if you can it’d been a lot if you gave me some advice
Ok so I only have the time to do 5 right now cause I actually need to record a monologue but I’ll come back and do the rest another time. So I think my favourite out of the first five is umm it’s actually not at the top of the list cause there all great but I’m just going to start with this one. So bennedicts cucumber ?? Idk I liked that scene cause it was so believable and real through all the switches. Cause like it’s sad it’s a very sad scene like you can see all the hope in his eyes when he looks at his machine it’s all he has and that provokes empathy. then he starts crying and the minute after that he’s laughing and that’s what I mean by switch he does a great job of making that believable and as it should be because he has a good friend who’s trying to cheer him up. Then that happens again he goes from sad to cheered up again to a kind of hopeful inspiring ending. Then there’s Meryl Streep scene and I like that one because of the relationship and listening to each other even when they were arguing and their voices overlapped it was real and believable and made sense and when Meryl cried that other actor was not only listening but feeling what her mother was feeling and she started crying to so the relationship there was really strong. Then violas scene I liked a lot because she was so unselfish and that’s something I aspire to, not being selfish while acting. I remember watching an interview of the Les Misérables movie and Anne hathaway said that it would have been selfish to sing the song the pretty way and I knew exactly what she meant by that cause that song she sang could have been done so vocally beautifully and technically but it wasent. which made it real and didnt give anne Hathaway this credit to her vocal ability. So seeing viola all snotty nosed and screaming in an ugly dark deep voice it’s so unattractive but so real and so selfless and I like that. Then there’s Eddies scene and I like the silence in it and the infatuation and fascination he has in whatever science thing that guy was talking about, and I like how you know what’s going on without him actually saying anything for the first few minutes. Then the Daniel day Lewis scene was interesting I was confused at first cause I didn’t know what was going on but I like how passionate he was. Doing what he wanted to do which was make a change but I feel like I’d have to watch the whole movie to understand that president scene a little more.
Very strong and very detailed perspectives 👍🏼👍🏼 now a question I might ask, is do all these actors share the same qualities? The beauty in the ugly, the passion in the text, the silence in their thoughts, the listening required? It’s a very important point to consider and can help us within our own works.
If you wanted to go even further with this, you can also consider the assistance of music, the text itself, camera angles, lighting, editing, costuming, etc. these points also add in and can highten or diminish an actors work.
Good job 👍🏼
The Actors Academy so I finished watching the other five well four (the toney McGuire video is not available btw or maybe it is and I can’t see it cause I’m from Canada) but anyways for the most part I feel like they do all share those same qualities depending on where they are and what their doing in their scene. Also something I see that’s always there is the relationship and the dependency on the other person their talking to. I feel like what the actors do, say, or think can change when their affected by the person their talking to? Like two people can go from screaming and arguing to listening intently to the other person to complete silence that’s just as loud as the screaming, or crying or talking e.t.c and another thing I noticed when you talked about lighting, filming and stuff. I tried to notice that a bit more cause I never really think of it like I know the camera switches and is on the different people and stuff but you never really pay attention to that but something I just realized. Like JUST REALIZED 😂👌🏾 is that the camera isent always on the person whose talking I rewatched some scenes and sometimes when a person is taking you hear their voice but you don’t see them. your seeing the person who their talking to. I’ve obviously watched and seen that but I never really payed attention to such a small detail like that and I think such a little thing like that is so important cause you see how their reacting. Anyways that’s all I have thx for the video I’m always looking for ways to practice and this was a helpful excericise I tried to pay attention which is not something I’m always good at. So thx🙏🏽
You are best go on bro
Yes, you need to be realistic... but shouldn’t you also want to be interesting? Entertaining? I think maybe acting TOO realistically can be a reason why you may seem boring. Great aren’t only realistic, they’re engaging and relatable. But this is great!! Very helpful! Thanks for this, nonetheless🙏 !!
Love the new intro!
I loved 🥰 the scene with Viol
Hello! How helpful would you say the ten hour class is for a young actor with not much experience? I am taking acting classes and my goal is to work in film of some sort.
Thanks!
It’s very helpful for actors of any experience 👍🏼
I’ve always known about Meryl Streep but never watched anything that had her in it. Today was the first time I’ve seen her acting and it’s just wow. I think what made it so amazing for me was really a bunch of things. The timing of when she paused, when she speed up, how she was basically holding back tears, how she reacted when the other actor occasionally talked, and how with such a small frame she was moving around her head and upper body in a very natural way that matched her what she was saying. While how you said to look at it definitely taught me why I liked the scene it still didn’t really click on how I can implement this without it seeming forced. Do you have any advice for how to incorporate this into my acting? Are there specific way to tone my instincts to make my acting look as visually interest yet still natural as this? In what ways should I practice for this or is it just something that needs to already be a part of how you react and talk?
I love Al Pacino's Frank Slade in scent of a woman like I am sort of obsessed by it . But I don't that much like his other role John milton in devils advocate. I've thought about it so much but I can't figure it out!!
Anyone else doing trial team/mock trial, and here to work on acting believable when you know your defendant/plaintiff is guilty as hell?
I wish I would've found your channel even earlier!
Better late than never! Glad to have you aboard :)
@@TheActorsAcademy thank you! I'm glad I did :)
Could you do a video where you film a audition/scene yourself to show us how you analyse it afterwards and what is important for you in that scene - eye contact, emotional hills and valleys, physicality, ...? 🙏😄
I would find that very interesting
Any good advice for finding an agent in the U.K. at all?
Hi, I don’t know if you’ll see this but it would mean so much if you can respond. There is an old animated show you’ve probably heard of called avatar the last air bender, and Netflix is making a live action remake of it. They announced about a year ago that they would be doing open call auditions online in late 2019, but then covid happened. I’ve been wanting to get into acting for forever, and since I’m such a huge fan of the show, I thought it would be a good idea to audition. I don’t have any professional experience, and I have no way of telling if I actually have talent or not, but I want to try. I made a resumé and took my own headshots. There is a specific character who I am quite similar to (in my opinion) that I want to audition for. I’m assuming that it would be a self-tape because they said the first round will be online. Do you know how I can stay updated for new information, how else I can prepare, if I have a chance at all, etc.? Thanks for all of your videos they’ve been so helpful!
Hello there!
I been thinking about becoming an actor for ages now. But I don't have any experiences. And I have been watching your channel for few years now.
What the best way to get some experiences and get knowledge? Just keep watching the videos and etc?
And other thing, I really like Daniel Day Lewis' scene!
... where do I find the scenes??
Hi,so this is unrelated to this video but does Netflix do open casting for the umbrella academy? If so please can you do a video giving us some tips on how to apply and audition for a role?

Do you know any links for the Umbrella Academy 3rd season auditions? Or Could you make a video about it?
Noah schnap is my favourite actor because of stranger things hes really good at acting too probably one actor id want to meet one day
Hey, I'm pretty new to your channel but I've gained a large interest in an actor career over the past few months and have been doing a ton of research that could possibly help (including watching some of your vids). So I recently graduated from high school and I'm 18 and me and my mom have been struggling financially for all my life but now we have a nice place and she has a great non-profit business shes made to help others in hard times (disaster relief) and atm she helps ppl through this pandemic with food delivery for free and I have just been helping around with that although im beginning to think this is the career I want to commit to, acting. I have no experience but a great talent to be very persistent with things I put my mind to. If there is any next/first step I should take where and what should it be??? I live in Florida and don't really have any big connections to any thing acting related and I just really need to know where exactly should I start. If you actually reading this comment thank you so much and I really do appreciate your content as well as if your going to reply to this. :)
I strongly suggest having a second job in mind, You cannot rely on acting as a proper career unfortunately - I suggest getting an agent and taking alot of acting classes to gain more experience, you can even study actors in movies ect.
If there's one actor that I think can play any role perfectly it has to be Jodie Comer
Please can you make a video For Asian actors(Indians)That how can we start a carrier in Acting and What if we want to come in Netflix originals And wanna come to US
I don't know about other countries, but in my country nepotism is like cancer in film industry. So it's very hard to become a self made actor.
You're the best
😊
And how do I know when new shows are coming up and I wanna auction
How can you tell or measure how good you are as acting? How do you pin point what your weak points are?
These videos help sm!
Do your tips work in Mexico too?
Bro love the new intro
Thanks very much. I asked some questions before but you didn't answer.
I want to ask that the backstage, I applied for jobs but didn't work because I didn't pay, why is that.
You have to pay to use backstages services..
@@TheActorsAcademy but I don't have any bank account, isn't there any other way or is there any other website that I can use to find auditions without paying.
And pls how do I check for nickelodeon auditions. Can you pls help Me
adeboye adetayo I’ll keep an eye out, but unfortunately if you want to sucky for a project you will have to pay to use a submission platform. Sometimes backstage offers 14 day free trials, so you may be able to take advantage of that if it becomes available, otherwise you’ll have to pay for a submission platform
@@TheActorsAcademy ok thanks
Do agents pay for the tickets?
