Using the 5 Love Languages for Acting
มุมมอง 1173 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video, I discuss a non-acting book that will evolve how you approach scenes, character development, and exploring relationships. The goal of any scene is to break past the "homework" of what an actor does and to understand it at a core level, where you are no longer working but, rather, playing and responding.

How Do I Slate?
มุมมอง 2465 ปีที่แล้ว
In a self-taped audition, sometimes you are asked to slate. This should be a very easy process but many actors struggle with it... Should I be me or should I be my character? Should I use an accent? What is the point of the slate? Jordan breaks down his perspective in this short video.
Best book on acting. Only book on acting worth reading

I love this so much. I’m hooked.
Well... I guess I HAVE to make more now! :)
@@bookfromtape3072 Uh, yes please! It’s like Criminal Minds but we’re solving scripts!!!
Jordan, this is awesome! Thank you for taking the time to film and work through this. Loved the juicy twist of Devil being Sam's Dad! I look forward to the next episode of this series.
I'm so glad! Thanks for the feedback. I really enjoyed this and ya, I've been thinking about that plot twist for another day now...
Awesome watching you work on your marriage.
You are just a gem, Jordan. Thank you so much.
Thank you so my colleague. A nice one!
I am checking this book out immediately!
Great review video! David Mamet's 'True & False' is my favorite book on acting. I have read it once every year for the past 15 years of my acting career. Mamet's book has helped me have the confidence that I am competitively competent as a 4th wall performer. I am a poor, working class, blue collar, kind of guy - so I really connect with Mamet's work. I could barely afford my dumb college degree, and I hated the mostly impractical, cult-like, pretentious, philosophizing of my academia experience. Mamet's 'True & False' book was practical and it really helped me. And yes, whenever it did piss me off, it really did remind me that in real life, you always gotta be your own motivation for success. You cannot expect other people to motivate you...which is funny because in a scene - it's the opposite. But yes - I love the book. 🎭
This is gold ! I’m going to reread this book with that in mind ! Thanks Jordan
Glad you dig it! -J
Great advice, Jordan. Thank you! Could you do a video about how to begin a self-tape audition specifically, the moment before the first line? Thanks much!
Great video thank you 😊 where can I purchase the lights and backdrop?
What camera is this shot on? Great vid!
Thanks, Jonny! This was on a Canon 80D. Although we've since upgraded to the 90D and loooooooove it.
Thank you Jordan and Clare! Great information and I believe the company website is shopmoment.com, I have their lenses and they are great
Hey this was fantastic. Thank you for having this conversation. New perspectives and I learned a lot.
This is fantastic Jordan! I'm going to organize my takes this way. Thank you!!
YES! Marking the takes helps so much. Glad it helped!
Just saw. How did you get rid of the ring in your eyes while using a ring light?
Hey Michael! Sorry, just saw this. The ring is there BUT it's less noticeable when used in combination with soft boxes. The main complaint is when people use the ring light by itself. That's when it gets super stylizes and distracting. Hope this helps!
thank you so much for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
This is amazing wow thank you!
You're so welcome!
Love your channel. Wish you kept uploading!
Hey Celines! Thanks so much! We do have a few more videos up and running over on our Facebook page. Our goal is to get more up here soon but, for now, follow us at Book From Tape Acting Studios on Facebook!
Were you on walking dead or am I mistaken you for someone else 🤔
That's Jordan! Eric from Alexandria. :)
Book From Tape lol I thought so
Honestly after reading just the first chapter of the book it really left a bad taste in my mouth with David Mamet in general. He just wants actors to read the words on the page. He thinks building characters is useless and stupid. Well I’m sorry but if that’s what you think, then ANY person can be an actor. I’d love to see him say that to the faces of Heath Ledger, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Joaquin Phoenix. He’s a piece of shit asshole, and I will never watch anything with his name attached to it. He’s not as high and mighty as he thinks he is.
Did you actually read the book?
Great video!! Watched the full video , it was very interesting.
Bro....this video is GREAT. I wish i saw this about 40 self tape requests ago
Thanks, Nagi! Glad it helped!
Makes a lot of sense....Thanks Jordan!
Rafael Gonzalez My pleasure!
