This video gets real about an unwritten rule in acting: No Actor-to-Actor notes, yep you heard it right! We're peeling back the curtain on why giving notes to your co-actors could land you in some hot water. There's a reason this rule has stood the test of time and trust us, you don't want to learn it the hard way. Whether you're new to the stage or an old hand, this video is a must-watch to avoid any backstage drama.
This video serves as an in-depth guide for actors to understand the sensitive issue of directing other actors. Despite the good intentions, such interventions can infringe upon an actor’s personal creative process.
This video shares personal experiences and reflections on how, unknowingly, many actors end up providing unnecessary direction. Remember, it’s not about pointing fingers but about learning and becoming better at our craft. By understanding subtle cues, we can distinguish between helpful contribution and unintentional direction.
This video also shares crucial advice on 'taking the note' and the attitude one should possess during the note session after a rehearsal. Lastly, we’ll provide thoughtful insights into dealing with actors who unintentionally end up directing others.

I like the "I've got a problem can you help?" tip.

@AugmentedActor Год назад

It's a diplomatic approach to giving a note.

@OuterEastLLC Год назад

Reading "Directing Actors" by Judith Weston now. Amazing insights and learning so much.

@AugmentedActor Год назад

Oh sounds like a great book. I’ll have to check it out.

This is so interesting to listen to. Something similar to what you are describing happened to our troupe when we were staging a play a couple of years ago....for a bit of context, I'm from the Czech Republic but joined an English-speaking university theatre group that is very popular with international students. So we have a very diverse group of cast and crew from different cultures and countries. However, our director is usually American. Sometimes, what would happen, was (as we've come to later realize) a misunderstanding based on a slightly different role of actors/directos/etc. in each culture and some acting concepts that don't exist universally. Example: A director was giving blocking notes to an actor who kept suggesting trying different things as a reaction. The director took it as disrespect while the actor didn't understand why the director was getting angry. Only later on I realized that, for instance, you cannot translate the word "blocking" into Czech, because it simply doesn't exist as a concept. You would have to describe it/explain it. In Czech theatre, "blocking", if you could call it that, is more of an actor's business and the director rarely interevenes with it. Thus, similar misunderstandings can happen. I've always found it quite fascinating to realize theatre/acting works differently around the world and not every (seemingly trivial) concept, such as blocking, is universal... Thinking of this stuff can make international projects a lot more pleasant for everybody. :D

I would say there are certain directors in the US who also work similarly...ie having the actors block the scene how they feel naturally. And others who allow much more freedom for the cast to explore options while staging the show. It's best for directors working with people from other cultures (and even not) to establish up front how they like to work and what is expected of the actors so that everyone is on the same page.

I made such mistakes 🙈 but after one lesson that I got from my partner,I understood that I was wrong and stopped doing such things. We had a rehearsal, and I asked my partner to be more sad and to be more organic , so she stopped me and answered that she didn't ask for "unsolicited advice. "... it was a great lesson for me forever )

@AugmentedActor Год назад

Exactly. You sometimes have to learn this from others. Some people don’t mind a little unsolicited advice but it often comes off as bossy. Others can’t stand to have others interfere in their process so it’s always best to hold your tongue and try to focus on your role and how you can get the desired result without changing the performance of the other actors. Thanks for sharing your story.

@DonaldKronos Год назад

Thanks for this. I wish I had known about it sooner. Yeah, that's me, helpful to a fault, and not only in acting either. You definitely have some good points, and I understand why you labeled that as a silent rule, because I've literally never heard it before.

@AugmentedActor Год назад

Yeah it’s one of those rules of etiquette that you usually learn about the hard way. You can always be helpful. You just have to know how to be most effective with your help without stepping on any toes.

@otsogiants Год назад

Good timing for this one. Thank you!!

@AugmentedActor Год назад

Glad the timing was right.

@TennantMary 10 месяцев назад

I love notes. But when I don't get notes. Then I am like nothihg? Lol

@AugmentedActor 10 месяцев назад

Yeah sometimes it feels like you’re being ignored when you don’t get notes. But that usually means that whatever you’re doing is working and doesn’t need adjustments. I always try to give a little positive note here and there when I like something so that notes aren’t always things that need fixing.
