Key Points: • What’s your relationship towards the person your talking to? • What do you hope to make them feel?

@darionsilk2858 2 года назад

This is genuinely some of the best acting advice I have ever been given… it’s very easy for me to cathartically express my emotions outside of an acting setting, and usually when I am thinking to much about how I feel or If I’m showing the right emotion it tends to make not even be able to express that feeling… but when I put the focus on the characters speaking to me and how I want to make them feel it comes effortless 👍💛

@maiasm 4 года назад

Thank you for the tips! Super helpful! I always find that anger and shouting matches come so much easier for me in scenes than, for example, crying or laughing. I think it's because, since I laugh and cry more in real life than yell, it's easier for me to disconnect my own self when I'm angry. I feel less like myself and more like the character, if that makes any sense.

@lilliansaari6266 2 года назад

That makes so much sense and I totally get that too

@robingott9823 3 года назад

Great video. It's alll about trust. Put your attention outside yourself, and trust that the emotion will show.

@jaycescanlon5927 Год назад

Keira, I’m halfway through Declan’s book and it’s genius. All that makes us emotional comes from outside ourselves and our external stimuli, then we regurgitate it back towards the source of what’s causing us to feel. It’s a great technique to help getting out of your head and instead figuring out objectives and purpose of the scene and what you’re trying to get from the other person. Nice video!!

@kmaclaren4603 Год назад

I love this technique, you see some great actors that can be emotional but they are still disconnected from the scene. This is about listening, knowing the given circumstances and creates better chemistry if in a scene with someone else!

@ReviewsWithAL_ 3 года назад

I've always found it quite easy to tap into serious characters and doing angry scenes and when it comes to being emotional I can tear up however I can never actually get the tears out, been a problem I've been stuck with for a while. Great video btw

Dear Keira, Your approach is very realistic, as you are letting the emotions flow naturally, based on the other actor/actress emotions, which will give life to the whole scene, making it more natural and true. Many thanks from Egypt.

@humanityages 3 года назад

Kiera I love your videos. Love this technique. It’s similar to meisner. I Was wondering if you have a video about certain techniques for acting in scenes alone where there’s no monologues; simply driving to work, watching TV, getting home from work, etc. for example, I know that Utah Hagen talks about certain inner objects to identify beforehand.

@koolkidapf 3 года назад

How would you recommend responding in a scene if someone asks you "What do you truly want here?" and your character doesn't quite know, so they have to pause a moment and ponder. Do you look inwards? Or do you keep only looking outwards? Great video, thank you!

@aliciatherese-castiglioni3940 2 года назад

Hi, I'm no professional teacher, but I have received some advice from one of the lessons I took. How would you react? You'd probably ponder and try to come to a realisation. Make sure that you have character thoughts going through your mind, not actor thoughts, but have them influenced by your thoughts as a person. Eg. You (as the character) may be searching for an answer in your mind, but are unable to find it. You wouldn't be thinking "Should I ponder here?" or "Should I stare in thought?" as a person, so why do that as a character?. That emotion, discovery or searching will come across in your eyes when you think about it. Don't THINK too much about what you're doing as the actor, just breathe and do, be present and in the moment, these reactions will come naturally. Sorry this is so far in the future, but I hope this helps for any other scenes that may require this :)

@yulinng Год назад

I struggle with the whole “cry on cue” thing. I find this harder on screen than stage. On stage you’ve got time to work up to the moment (“the moment before” is usually lived through first). However, often times on screen you’re just asked to be in a teary mess from “action”. In the examples you’ve given, the actor is able to work off the actions and dialogue of their scene partner, but what if there is no scene partner in the scene? What if the character is just in her private space processing the grief of something that happened that day eg. A funeral. How do you use this technique then? Haha - questions from a struggling working actor (glad to be working tho! Haha)- I actually have been given such a scene and the shoot is in two weeks! Thanks!

@eliaskiiru2017 2 года назад

very informative

@TheGilbalfas Год назад

Great advice. Getting your mind off yourself can stop you from locking down and getting blocked by feeling you're not getting the emotion. Putting it on the other person and giving it a point of view will fuel both the relationship and your emotions. BUT...what do you do if you are alone on screen and you have to come up with a certain emotion? imagine a scene partner and use the same technique? Sounds plausible...

@bagpakpark7097 Год назад

Most people don't really pay attention.. even inspiring actors don't pay attention to their 5 senses.. if you are engaged with your senses, you will be present in the moment and the emotions will come naturally.. many actors overthink, have no goal in mind in scene.. always subtext.. what is the end result you are looking for as the character.. when you focus on the process the emotions come as a result.. when you are after the result the emotions don't form

@a.krishna3924 2 года назад

@user-so2hl7hs6b 3 года назад

Im not an actress or anything but i think that maybe you should think about the scenes and how the character feels and at the same time think how to express it, like if you're crying you are feeling it but at the same time think about what faces would you do or how would you react, idk if it was helpful, im not an actress im only 14 years old, never had any experiences or anything and you posted this a month ago, but i wish i could help at least a little bit haha
