I think the best directors provide you with a safe environment where they can instill you with confidence and allow you to try things out and not feel like you're failing or that you're doing it wrong.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've worked with many directors, good ones and bad ones. So if I have a chance to work the good ones, I better put myself in their hands, and trust them, because that's my big opportunity to be different, and to be better than usual.
I've had great luck with directors. I've worked with all the great ones.
Like everyone else, I try to do quality work with great directors. But much of it has to do with luck.
Really top-notch directors, I've often worked with them just to see how they work.
The most nurturing of directors can make you feel too comfortable, and you don't really push for that extra whatever.
All the directors that I've had the opportunity to work with are fantastic.
What I do as a director is really create a safe environment that everyone can feel very comfortable in and experiment within so that they don't hold back anything. You never ever want someone to go, 'Oh I shouldn't have done that.' There isn't anything you shouldn't try. If it's terrible, who cares?
It's always great when a director is just supportive of what you're doing. They're not so much critiquing you but giving you more ideas, giving you tons of things to work with, making you question your character and making you think about it... and making it seem like everything is limitless. That usually helps a lot.
You work with great directors and terrible directors, and so you learn; you take what you think will work for you.
Honestly, I think most directors are about, 'Let's do the most fun and effective thing here and figure out how afterwards.'
