So, when trying to improve as an actor at home with very limited resources, is it a good idea to try out different imagined circumstances that can get an emotional trigger out of you? My only worry is that something I try will work one day but then not work on me the next day and then I am left trying to find something else, thus making me get in my own head and causing all sorts of problems! I also find it very difficult to get a really deep emotional trigger from imagined circumstances, and I have moved on and are no longer super affected by things from my past, do you have any advice for this Aswell? Thank you!
Hi Joey, We do not recommend using events from your past, so we only recommend using your imagination to create circumstances. If you work on your imagination and focus on the specifics of the circumstances you create, you will find that these imaginary circumstances begin to feel more real. You will need to explore what effects you and actively work on your choices to make sure your preparations are activating. Most people would agree that no preparation can activate them in the same way consistently. This is why we recommend regularly exploring new preparations.
