Some actors get fired up by the sound of the audience. I just want to retreat.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The idea that you must treat actors a certain way in order to get a performance out of them kind of disturbs me, and it's disregarding what we do. Our job is to do our job.
Sometimes people just need to feel heard, and being an actor has taught me to really listen.
Some actors need to be rattled and some need to be focused.
There are so many people in film and television that get between a performer and the audience, and that's frustrating.
My favorite thing to hear from people is, 'I left the theater and couldn't stop thinking about it.' You want your work to have an impact after they leave the theater. It's the equivalent of leaving a musical humming a show tune.
When you consider that you're a character that doesn't speak, but you've still got to react to the other actors, you've got to make a noise of some kind.
Stage actors are usually much more conscious of speaking up and making sure that everyone can hear in the back of the theatre; a film actor probably thinks of that a little less.
Actors die so loud.
People don't yell nasty things at actors - they let them continue.
I mean, I always think when you're an actor you have to be the guy running into the burning building rather than running out of it, if you want to make some noise as an actor.
