3 acting tools to level-up performance, that never get old

I love directing actors.

In 30+ years as a casting director, filmmaker, and educator, I have given tens of thousands of actors direction. When exploring scenes, I have a few tools that I use over and over again. They have become a core part of my directing and teaching.

  1. Shift the Rhythm.

  2. Change the Relationship.

  3. Intensify the Environment.

Each unearths a new discovery, every time.
