    This is the best acting lesson I have ever seen in my entire career. You can spend thousand of dollars to get a degree and tons of lessons but this one video has no match. I can vividly see the years of experience Wendy. What a phenomenal work. Outstanding ! More Powers to you Wendy. Love and respect from Pakistan. I am a fan.

    The time you spend doubting yourself and wondering if you’re good enough for this world is a waste of the time you’ve been given on this world.
    I’m telling you stop it right now. Just stop.
    You’ll never be perfect, you don’t need to be. You’ll never be like anyone else, you don’t need to be.
    You will never stop fucking up or make mistakes. You are human. That’s what we do.
    And we learn, we grow and we do a little better every day. Stop expecting yourself to be some sort of image of perfection. It doesn’t exist.
    Your flaws, your tears, your temper, your insecurities, your heartbreak…it makes you interesting. Your joys, quirks, your passion, your enthusiasm…it makes you interesting.
    You’re human…It makes you interesting. Stop hiding it.
    Share it and shout it from the rooftops with pride. You will never exist again. Don’t you fucking get that?

    Hi Wendy 👋 We are currently doing the emotions in acting through improvisation and the importance of it in acting. When I had to come on stage with my colleague actor, I was given extreem happiness and he had to play sadness. We had to keep the emotion believable on during 20minutes. It was so much fun doing it. We both succeeded in doing it and the best thing (for me) was not the good critics, but the fact that everyone had to see a part of me :)

    @rustymeyers484 Рік тому +2

    All good info. It's merely being able to emote on cue, it's called practicing. So you can bring it up (turn it on or off) at any time you want. Of course it's nice to have a well written script that helps. But you may have to do this a dozen times (coverage) on camera. It's called technique, so stay in a legit class until you can do this on cue over and over again. Also be able to do ALL of these emotions at levels from 1-10.

    When I want to emote happiness I think of music or my cat because those things make me feel happy. When I watch the news and see stories about the war, people dying, children dying, that makes me feel sad and also angry that there is injustice in this world, when I see stories on the news about natural disasters like earthquakes, that makes me feel sad for all those people who lost their lives. I recited an antiwar poem in the first week of May at an open mic night and I could barely get through saying some of the words because the injustice in the world makes me feel so sad. I love the idea of an emotional journal! I'm going to try practicing that!

    I immediately clicked subscribe less than five minutes in lol I love your energy! And you get straight to the point. In my opinion, acting is easier than most people think, if you’re able to tap into your emotions and put thought into why you’re saying the lines. Liza Minnelli said it best, it’s not how you say it. It’s why you say it.

    Thanks. Been guilty of overacting or emulating some other actor. Ive still got a ways to go but 1) once I learned how to relax (which is an ongoing process) I have better access to the emotional palette. 2) learning my lines very well has allowed me to focus on the other person(s) in the scene. There are plenty of times I still suck but much less so than ever before.

Im really starting to get in touch with my emotions and using them as triggers because i really want to be believable and convincing. I also have cystic fibrosis and draw from that, the actor anton yelchin also had cf and had a wonderful career and that makes me believe i can do the same.

I replaced a guys spot in class who got booked into his first speaking role for a marvel movie last month. Luckily and unluckily I got moved immediately into the intermediate class and the teachers state I’ve gotten the concept of just living in the imaginary world and getting out of my head and acting “in the moment”. And my teacher Laurel literally said what you said to me on my first day almost word for word.

    you said you don't believe them? i have a question. What's your take on an actor acting or studying all roles compared to an actor playing a character in the LGBT community specifically gay roles, could that be more interesting and believable as a person who is gay playing mostly gay roles. I hear a lot of stuff about this but some just say YOU SHOULD only do all roles, but I think the people who say that don't know much about acting themselves. you talk about schools, but are there even schools that focus on diversity of all roles including LGBT?
