As a result, actors usually have what I like to call a ‘Frankenstein’ technique. This is a system they have developed that works for them, which blends multiple schools of thought together. I often hear this referred to at drama schools as the ‘toolbox’. Throughout your training (either through an institution or through your own self edification), ...
Rather than list ten separate philosophies or schools of thought, I instead want to focus on specific techniques that I see echoed by multiple theorists.
One of my favourite acting teachers used to run a scene class. People would come up, do a scene. His first question was always “What do you want?”. If you didn’t have an answer, you had to sit down. Lesson over. And why? Because this question drives everything. Your objective is what you want from your scene partner. When you know that, you fight f...
If objectives are what you want, actions are how you are going to get it. They are the tactics that you use to achieve your desire. In life, we are always trying different tactics to achieve our desire. This notion can make us seem like sociopaths, but it’s true. If, for instance, I wanted money from someone, I could ask politely, I could plead, or...

It is a crucial part of the acting skillset, and developing your imagination is a key component of becoming a good actor. And what word engages the imagination the most? Two lett...

Although not everyone has read this book, most of the best actors I know do this technique instinctively. Let’s do a short exercise: What did ...
The inner life of a character is a very important part of being ‘real’ on stage or screen. It is the acknowledgement that the mind is active beyond the words being spoken out loud. It is the performance of the inner workings or inner turmoil of the character you are playing. Whether or not it is said out loud, we need to know our characters opinion...
This is an ever-elusive problem for actors that numerous theorists deal with. How to be perfectly present: playing moment to moment, responding to new information all whilst knowing when and how the scene or story ends. When we first read a script, we have an immediate impulse of how it is to be played. As we read the lines for the first time out l...
Script and scene analysis is essential to making good choices as an actor. Anyone that has sat in on a development, written a script or studied literature know how important structure is for a story. In fact, story structure is one of the few universal similarities between cultures worldwide, even if the telling may differ. We often forget as actor...
