0:09:11.002,0:09:17.680

But there's always more that we can work on.

So the hard work we put into into our acting is really about



0:09:17.680,0:09:25.840

developing a strong work ethic about developing

that desire to keep moving forward and to keep



0:09:25.840,0:09:32.800

learning more and more about the character.

That's what we really want to do, to learn more about



0:09:33.760,0:09:38.640

how to step into the life just a little bit

deeper, about the feelings that this person



0:09:38.640,0:09:44.240

is going to, about the more specifically about

their point of view. We can keep developing that



0:09:44.240,0:09:47.340

over and over and over throughout that time.


0:09:48.376,0:09:51.920

So acting demands an incredible amount of hard work.



0:09:55.040,0:10:03.840

And then finally, the last misconception, I would

say, is because we believe that acting is inherent,



0:10:04.960,0:10:08.400

and therefore we believe that

it doesn't require a lot of work,



0:10:09.360,0:10:16.480

we also believe it doesn't require a

lot of training. And so that's where



0:10:16.480,0:10:21.680

this misconception comes in, because I have a

lot of people ask me, oh if I'm going to learn



0:10:21.680,0:10:27.040

acting, should I find maybe, just like a small

class? Can I take a workshop and is that enough?



0:10:27.040,0:10:33.360

Or, can I do a, you know, onceaweek scene study

class and is that enough? And it's like... No, it's not.



0:10:34.720,0:10:41.440

Acting requires an incredible amount of training,

and the truth is, the training never ends.



0:10:42.960,0:10:49.520

The learning as an actor never ends. We're

constantly evolving and constantly discovering



0:10:49.520,0:10:55.520

new things in new ways and new methodologies,

because we're constantly evolving as human beings,



0:10:56.480,0:11:04.880

and as we evolve as a human being, so does

our art. So we must be consistently training



0:11:04.880,0:11:09.920

over and over and over. And we're not

training simply on technical skills.



0:11:11.680,0:11:18.640

Yes there are technical skills for actors. There's

the technique of being in front of a camera and



0:11:18.640,0:11:24.800

understanding what to do with the camera,

or there's a technique of being on stage



0:11:24.800,0:11:29.440

in front of a live audience, and where do we

look and how do we stand and how do we move?



0:11:29.440,0:11:39.920

There's a lot of those of technique type of skills.

But the learning is more in the area of ourselves



0:11:41.120,0:11:48.480

learning how we operate. We have to learn

how our own human condition and our own



0:11:48.480,0:11:53.072

human psychology lends itself to to

the acting that we're going to do.



0:11:54.160,0:12:00.560

And so we have to consistently train

and consistently put in the hard work,



0:12:01.440,0:12:07.213

and then we can learn what it takes to become an

actor just through the doing of it.



0:12:08.573,0:12:14.480

And so this is something that that I like to establish right off

so when when someone asks me what's the best



0:12:14.480,0:12:20.127

way to learn to act, that's the first thing I

like to say is... well let's just talk about acting.
