Take the Fear Out of Auditions
- There is no such thing as a wrong choice
- The only wrong choice is no choice
- The only rule is: Your choice can not violate the script
- Every strong choice that adheres to this rule is a right choice
- Not everyone is going to like your choices. Learn to live with it
Half the battle in acting is figuring out the purpose of the scene and defining your job. How can you do a job if you don’t know what it is? Then you have to decide how you want to play the scene, and make strong choices that drive home the purpose while infusing the scene with interesting thoughts and levels. The key to making strong choices is the confidence that comes from knowing with certainty that you can defend all of your choices as valid. That confidence comes from thorough and creative script analysis.
As an actor I always loved digging into a script to find every possible shred of information I could. The more I discovered the more the character’s world opened up before me. I could fully relax and release into the scene because I knew what I was doing and why I was doing it.
Please join me for 6 exciting weeks as we go through the different concepts of analysis, using scripts and sides from Theatre, Film and Television; Everything from creating a full rich character for a day player role with one line to creating the full character arc for a leading role in a film. There are no hard and fast rules for analyzing scripts. Every new script presents a new challenge. Embrace the challenge.
What was the most valuable lesson to you as an actor?
Understanding the importance of script analysis. As an actor, I have to understand what is going on to get the character right. The more I understand the script, the more I will be able to bring my own unique perspective to interpreting the character in a way that matters
