Acting Techniques for Effective Communication

“Congratulations! You've reached the end of this course. Thank you so much for taking part and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the self-tape you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell me if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: Choose materials that will suit your goals for this course. Work with the words: read and breathe to take words off the page. You don't have to play it safe, you don't have to make sense, be free to go to places you wouldn't go working in an analytical way.

Remember to find silence. Your intuition should guide you to choose those moments. The exercises will help. Remind yourself that humor is not about being funny, but how you engage with whoever you are speaking to. To practice, have fun destroying and reconstructing. Do your scene, monologue, poem, or speech in 2 or 3 different ways. Once you have your setup ready, observe the space and remember you work in the 3 worlds: the ego, the work, and the fiction. Creating imaginary circumstances and making strong choices will help you. Record your self-tape with what you have at home, a camera, and a good source of natural light, such as a window. I can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there!”

“ Final Project Thank you for taking this course and going on this journey with me. If you have completed each lesson and exercise, you should be proud of all that you've accomplished. You have the tools to develop your communication and self-tape audition skills. A few things before you record yourself. People tend to hate to see themselves on camera, and I know that well and I beg you not to do that. Don't be hard on yourself. You came this far and recording your final project is a victory. Also, seeing yourself on camera is something you should get used to. The things you criticize might...”
