Friends, there's a lot of info in this short video. Make sure you watch the end section with acting exercises - they're simple but they help A LOT. Save the video for later if you need. ❤
I love your videos so much, thank you for making them! I really want to do Desdemona's "Alas Iago, what shall I do to win my Lord again.." for a drama school audition and would be so thankful if you could do a guide on that one!
Hey, I have an old video on this, here you go: th-cam.com/video/b_w9Cac1OjE/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps! Planning to redo it but haven't got to it yet, still lots of useful stuff in there.
Do you have any best monologues to practice one technique or the other on or does the practitioner have carte blanche? Thanks very much for the advice!!
Great question! I'm going to give you a short answer and a longer answer. Short answer: comedy can go 'bigger', drama will be easier when it's 'smaller'. So if you don't know where to start, start with that! Longer answer: in an audition situation, you get to decide. It's good practice to always think about how to 'pitch' your performance in terms of energy, it's a skill that every actor needs. You can make the choice based on what you know of the character, play, production/director/school you're auditioning for, and what your strengths are. Ultimately there's no right and wrong, so I suggest always testing it out different ways and seeing what feels good. Not many actors do this - most actors think there's only one way of doing things, and it's usually the same as 90% of the actors auditioning. And that's why they don't stand out. Hope that helps.
@@PAINTbear Oh😥well, you'll still learn a lot that will probably get you the roles you want as your theatrical career continues! Best of luck at any rate. 👍
@@PAINTbear congrats on getting Francisco! You'll definitely still learn heaps from being involved. Even just listening and watching other people working on the scenes will teach you so much about the play and how to perform it.

Please could you do a video on Benedicks ’This can be no trick’ ? Thanks I find your videos so helpful 💗
Oh yes I need to put this on my list! I will try to film it soon. Sorry if your audition/production has passed, I just spotted this comment!

@@HamnimationStudios it didn't go aswell as I had hoped but I did get the role of Francisco and I'm heavily involved in the back stage portion.
