Question 7: What is at stake if I don’t get what I need?
We’ve all heard it, “Raise the Stakes!”. When an actor hears “raise the stakes” from a director, casting director, or teacher, they think they need to be more intense, more excited, or speak faster or louder. Raising the stakes in a scene is none of those.
Today we are discussing Question 7: What is at stake if I don’t get what I need? What does it actually mean to raise the stakes? What does it mean to have something at stake in a scene? An easy way to put it is, when something at stake, it’s going to cost you something or you’re going to…..

Question 6 : What am I listening for?
Today we are discussing Question 6; What am I listening for? Listening is REALLY IMPORTANT and I’m sure you hear it all the time. Teachers, Casting Directors, Directors will say over and over again to listen. And you probably feel overwhelmed because you say “Okay, I’m listening. I’m listening.” and aren’t really sure what else you can do.
What I know now is that acting is not about listening, it’s about listening for something. In this video, I’ll explain to you and help you understand what that really means and how you can apply it to your next audition.

Question 5; Motivation: Why do I have to get my Intention right now?
A lot of times I’ve heard Motivation lumped in with objective, goal, intention, what do you need. But it is completely different and comes from a different part of your brain. People have intentions all the time. “I want to quit smoking” or “I want to lose weight” BUT most people don’t have any motivation to do it. A lot of us have wanted to lose a little weight at some point in our lives, but we didn’t. Why didn’t we? Because we lacked MOTIVATION.
I have the perfect example of motivation with intention. Check out this weeks Acting Tip to hear about it.

Question 4: Intention; What do I need the other person to say or do?
Intention is the corner stone of all acting, hence the reason I named my company Intentional Acting. What I’ve seen over and over again is when an actor is clear on their intention, everything falls into place and they know what to do.
Some people are familiar with it as an objective, goal, purpose or as a verb, but Intention is more specific and very different. But when you focus on “What do I need the other person to say or do?” it gives you something to go after and do.
Acting is Doing. Watch this video to learn how Intention is so important in your acting.

When you are breaking down Questions 3, there is an external experience (previous Acting Tip) and there is an internal experience. Today I’m talking about internal experience.
When you get a scene that is not so physically engaging or demanding, you have to look into yourself and ask ‘What does that feel like?’. You need to take a moment to let yourself really feel what is happening. Take a look at the video to see an example of a scene that explores the internal experience.

Question 3: What is the experience of the scenes?
External
Today I’m talking about Question 3; What is the experience of the scene? There is the internal experience and the external experience. Today, it’s all about the External!
Ask yourself: What is the experience of riding on a roller coaster? I bet you felt a lot, right there, just thinking about it. Watch this video to see how to get specific about the external experience of a scene.
