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.

Quite often in acting, you have to play a certain part; you cannot speak as much as you want to speak.
Actors know how to talk to other actors in a way that sometimes other directors just don't.
A lot of actors never talk to other actors about how they're doing things, or why. I think it's important to share the way you're thinking.
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.
As an actor, you're listening to the other person and always trying to be present and take everything they're giving you, but when they're not there, you have to produce that yourself.
I usually don't say anything to the actors. It works better for me because when they come to the set, they are at the same time scared and excited because they are not well aware of what will happen.
Some actors like encouragement. Some actors prefer to have pressure. And sometimes, for some actors, its better to give your comment by silence, because they are so skillful, so gifted, that they understand without talking too much.
The key to acting has much more to do with listening than with talking.
Actors don't listen to each other. You're so obsessed with what you're saying or doing that the other person could be talking in Swahili and you wouldn't know.
If you've ever been around a group of actors, you've noticed, no doubt, that they can talk of nothing else under the sun but acting. It's exactly the same way with baseball players. Your heart must be in your work.
