I can walk into a room and create a good ambience. I was taught all about this back when I studied acting. One of the things they would teach you is how to send out positive signals when you enter a room. I am glad I learned this.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I can create a vibe without saying anything, just by being in the room.
When I started acting, it was really the way for me to be able to communicate.
There's something about being in a house with an audience, and having that immediate feedback. I started acting because of that energy; it's what feeds me on stage and informs my choices.
There's no substitute to actually being in the room and having people in the room feel the force of your audition. It's very hard to beat that.
If you're in a room and can be seen by actors, you need to understand that you can be felt by them.
One of the first exercises we did in acting class my freshman year was to stand in two rows, two lines facing each other as a class, and just make sounds and move in some completely nonsensical way out into the center of the room. Sort of make an idiot out of yourself, essentially, but to be okay with that.
Sometimes when you're acting, you only need a little bit of something to sort of channel or, you know, transport into a place.
You know, back in acting school they always teach you, 'Make bold choices and look for activities that are interesting.'
Sometimes you go into a waiting room, and the audition room is right there, and the walls are extremely thin. And you can hear every breath that they're saying. And you're used to that. So you go in, and you're like, 'Oh, whatever.'
One of my main techniques for acting is I try to know almost nothing beyond the words that I have to say, because that's my zone of control.
