• The Con Man and Acting

    Updated: 2012-05-31 17:25:43
    My friend said, well, all good actors are great liars. Wrong I said. She gave me a puzzled face. But surely she said, they tell lies all the time on stage. No, I said, they don’t at all. They tell the truth. She gave me another puzzled look. An actor tells the truth and the [...]

  • Hypocrisy and the Actor

    Updated: 2012-05-30 17:21:09
    I cannot stand most stage acting performances that I see. I am not being snooty or snobby, it’s just there is an in-built hypocrisy that I cannot bear. I remember watching these wonderfully well known actors in a play in Sydney and being totally repulsed by their performance. Why? Because nothing Actor A did was [...]

  • Why I can’t watch Al Pacino

    Updated: 2012-05-29 11:15:55
    There’s only one Al Pacino. There’s no one like him. I have the feeling that his best movies are behind him now, but he’s very special. I personally do not really enjoy watching him. His performances are just that, they stand out, they are larger than life and they draw the attention of the viewer [...]

  • When We Act

    Updated: 2012-05-28 12:23:59
    One of things that I got out of spending time with Mel Churcher was the sense of what happens to people once they start ‘acting’. They seem to get locked up and tense, you see the light go from their eyes, their free physicality becomes rigid. People start acting, they somehow become less themselves. Now [...]

  • Should Actors Work for Free?

    Updated: 2012-05-26 15:30:05
    In the UK acting industry there is a debate still raging after many years on the topic of low pay/no pay work. Clearly professional actors should be paid for their work like lawyers, doctors and everyone else. But unlike those people, the excess of actors in supply massively outweighs their demand. Breaking into our business [...]

  • Advice on Self Taping Auditions

    Updated: 2012-05-25 01:15:03
      These days, self taping is very popular.  It’s easier for a production company in Canada to see a UK-based actor on something like Vimeo than have them flown over just on the off-chance that they are right for the role. So these companies may ask the actor to self-tape and send it to them [...]

  • Giving it Away Too Soon

    Updated: 2012-05-24 11:00:59
    When you speak, you do not generally know what you are going to say. You have an idea of your intention, but do not know until the moment of actual utterance what you are saying. With a script this is not the case, you DO know what’s coming. And because of this, because you understand [...]

  • Is Acting the Wrong Name for it?

    Updated: 2012-05-23 19:12:59
    For Cara We call it – acting, but when we say ‘acting’ more often than not we mean ‘putting on an act’, ‘pretending’, or ‘stepping into someone else’s shoes’. But actually, to me acting implies action, not ‘putting on an act’. Acting is doing, doers of action are… Actors. Mel Churcher recently complimented my students [...]

  • Inspiration: Meeting Mel

    Updated: 2012-05-21 18:23:07
    As an acting coach, I spend considerable time thinking how to inspire my students. As such I look for ways to inspire myself. I has inspiration from Mamet originally, from Shakespeare, from Csikzhentmihalyi, and this weekend acting coach Mel Churcher gave me another boost when she came to deliver a Masterclass to my acting students [...]

  • How to Rehearse Ichi-Go Ichi-E – PART 3

    If you’ve read the previous blog written on GIBBERISH some months ago, you’ll understand the idea, but no matter, I will explain it again. If the actor is really able to task switch between going after their real world task and acknowledge and be affected by their scene partners, then it doesn’t matter what they [...]

    Updated: 2012-05-16 14:29:57
    In yesterday’s blog, I suggested something heretical.  That the individual lines of the script are not important to the actor.  They are important in communicating the story of the play, film or show to the audience, but for the actor to truthfully embody them, they need to be left alone for as long as possible.  [...]

  • The Lines Come Last

    Updated: 2012-05-15 14:27:40
    About six months ago, I discovered something.  I must have known it all the time, but I finally started to see the real truth in it.  The truth is that the individual lines of text in a script are important to two people, the writer and their audience. But to the actor, to focus on [...]

  • The Stages of Rehearsal – Tuckman Style

    Updated: 2012-05-07 02:20:48
    Bruce Tuckman famously laid out the stages of group or team development in 1985 as Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing.  I’ve always thought these labels were particularly apt for creative endeavours too, particularly the stages of rehearsal. The first stage is FORMING.  Those early days when tentatively everyone is getting to know each other.  Bonds [...]
