    Some examples of what clear notes to an actor look like would have been helpful.

      I agree, all I got from this was "Casting is important, keep your notes short and clear".

    All approaches can end with great performances, as long as there is trust between the director and an actor. They don't have to like each other, but they need to trust each other, then great things may happen.

    Sorry but how does a scene from a movie - Mulholland Drive - applies as an example of bad directing and good acting? Bob is a character of the movie as is Diane (Naomi Watts). You showed the audition scene as if it was a real audition. Why?
    And it felt to me you decided to describe Tarantino's verbosity in a derogaotory way; which I found unnecessary. Tarantino is a master in his craft and his directing is as specific as it can be with his actors.
    It would be interesting seeing videos of you directing actors. This would be informative.

    0:34 Yez. Yes it actually does not matter if ypur performances are not top quallity if the scrip is great. Its something printed on the very definition of cinema 😂😂 the script is the bones and everything else exists to bring it to life. You dont even have to be a genious to understand this. But if you. Want you can hear it from Kurosawa or even tarantino, this last one gave a recommendation for a move called "Switchblade sisters". It does not really matter if your acting is bad if the dramatic material is great. And only a person who does not understand his mefium or has not come out of his shell to comprove it could say otherwise. What a misleading person this is!
    And also one thing i noticed is that inept people will never come across a truly great script. And that once you have ir, giving clear actor instructions is subject to happen.
