When I learned to not be in my head about what my next line was gonna be, but instead to focus on the other person and really hear and connect with them, it made such a massive difference in my acting abilities. Great video and very important lesson 👏
Thank you for that observation, Wyatt. Charles Erich Conrad (Brian's mentor) coined the motto that we currently use at the studio: "Total concentration of attention away from yourself is the creative source of acting."
This is doable for small scenes where you dont need to memorize too much. But for long scenes or even long monologues, it's really hard not to be thinking about what you need to say after each sentence
i absolutely LOVE the direction the teacher gave, and how well the actors took it in and used it to make the second take FANTASTIC. in the second take the air was thick with tension between them, and it made me want to watch to find out what had happened between them
As a director I love watching actors get their reps in. Very fun to watch. They did a great job. There was a bit of rehearsed-ness to the scene. This usually happens when someone is having a difficult time remembering their lines. Kinda takes them out of scene and into rehearsal mode. In moments like this, I like to remind the actors to f everything else, and remember why you’re there. You’re here to gloat, and rub your success in his face (make him uncomfortable). Push the scene with your emotion and not with beats/marks. Let the emotion become the rhythm.
Wow! Thank you so much Christopher! Awfully generous of you. Our hopes with sharing this class is that our viewers gain from it and for Brian (and those he works with like yourself) to get a boost from it. We hope that your generosity is rewarded many times over. We have your IMDB in the info section above, please let us know if you would like us to add any other links.
Amazing class! The psychology of Howard Roark was very benevolent and independent. He was not feeling resentment against Peter Keating, he was just indifferent to the moral standards that Peter was using. Peter was projecting his own secondhanded insecurities trying to harm Roark, but that never really worked. That little nuance add much more to the acting: the contrast between an aggresive insecure actitud vs a benevolent independent mindset.
This acting class is very helpful In lending a hand and it will make your acting more realistic due to the fact of the choices you will make in life. This will take me far and the doors in Hollywood are waiting to be open a star has been born.
wish i had this in my area. i been wanting to jump into the acting world since i was young. never had a team around me to help me find opportunity for it. now a father of 5 my team is around me.
They have tons of zoom classes! Actors Foundry in Vancouver has classes for students all over the world. I took some there, the Howard Fine studio, took a bunch of workshops in the pandemic. All on zoom!
Hi there. It's never too late to start. I'm 52 years old. Felix is half that and we are accountability partners in the class. We support each other in moving things forward. I worked a job entirely by Zoom. It took 20 minutes. The compensation was very generous. There is remote work out there.
@@Timthethespian89 acting and zoom it s a waste of time. You act using your whole body, including hands, feet, everything, not just a zoom camera angle, which is a very bad angle by the way!
@@alexbalea6404 is it as good as in person? No, so you’re right in that aspect. I don’t think it’s a waste of time to practice, refine, and learn the craft from master teachers all over the world. Yes, you should be as embodied as possible, but what about close ups? What about very particular camera angles?
@@Timthethespian89 practice yes!! Refining yes!! I agree!! But don t try lifting it to the rank of art and start selling tickets for zoom plays.. That s what I was reffering to..
Incredible video showing a class setting with so much knowledge with performing. Watching actors and hearing suggestions afterwards really helps seeing many directions. Thank you so much for sharing.
Great advice on listening. Especially Theatre when the primary objective is to make sure you hit your line. Why so much Theatre feels unreal. Thank you!
Good director love his interaction and involvement with the two actors that’s how you bring out the best out of the actors. The director is the brains behind it all.
Actually everything. It's showing a dream I never had the chance to chime in so I wish all actors there all the best in their lives! (German guy, never been to US, now working in games business and happy with it) What I would love to have seen would be the other actors. If there would be a way to see more of it, I would definitely watch it!
Sorry for the late response @Life As O. To answer your question, Yes! We do offer Zoom classes! Feel free to sign up for a free audit at www.actorsstudio.com.
Great to see your interest in this. We have a lot more to share from this class and will continue to release segments as often as we can. Eventually we will release it with the entire class in one video.
Regarding active listening when it's a monologue and you're the 'only one in the room'; you are never the only one in the room. That voice you hear inside your head is who/what you are listening and responding to. As an actor, make sure that voice is part of the dialogue- not a recitation, regurgitation or an acting instructor.
I would love to see a non-actor writer having a conversation with a non-writer actor (feel free to substitute words like "director" or "producer"). Maybe follow a scene from page to final edit.

Any advice on acting
Thank you for the tip. I subscribed to your channel.

It’s good to see the inside of clases. It helps with transparency and setting realistic expectations ✨
Thank you for posting Casandra. This is our first segment from this class, we look forward to sharing more from our visit.
The second read is in a different league entirely to the first. Brilliantly done. Glorious change of pace for Film Courage - we all love you, Karen x
I really love how you simulate a “set” and the pressure there is

This makes me want to take acting lessons. It looks like fun xD
If you are not in LA, we also offer classes via Zoom!
This is a good change of pace. Would love more of these
Thanks for watching. We have a lot more from this class to share.
Agreed x
@@filmcourage Would be great to see more of these, I just discovery you channel lookin in youtube greetings from colombia

What an awesome look into a class. Love this. Appreciate it
I always have to stop what im doing to watch these incredible videos!!! so insightful, learning , in developing our craft. Wow!
Thanks!

very good run down of those two characters......

"Active listening." Wow, such a difference. Great video.
Great teaching great acting. Fun and interesting to see the process. Thanks!
Incredible video showing a class setting with so much knowledge with performing. Watching actors and hearing suggestions afterwards really helps seeing many directions. Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just started taking an acting class and we get our monologues next week. This just made me hype!
The second take is wayyy betterrrr what a difference
Wow! Theyre so good first of all
And yeah I love the second one especially!
Bravo, @FilmCourage! Well done!
Cheers! Thank you John! We are excited to share more from this class 😁
Great advice on listening. Especially Theatre when the primary objective is to make sure you hit your line. Why so much Theatre feels unreal. Thank you!
Howard: "hello peter"
Peter:(remembering doctor octopus)
Thanks brian cutler and some others that were in this video and the people that shot many clips and or the video...
I cant wait for the full video from the class!! when does it come out?? You guys should definitely do more acting videos :))
Good director love his interaction and involvement with the two actors that’s how you bring out the best out of the actors. The director is the brains behind it all.
I truly believe I'm an A list actor ... life can really get in the way ... anyone who's chasing their dream stay focused
thousands of people move to LA every year thinking their an A list actor. Only 1% are.
So crazy I think I’m an A list actor too!
@@damperemu4445 I'm 1%
The second run was so much better
That guy in the background and I had the exact same reaction when he said "Candy break".
I'm very fond of the candy breaks. Mr. Cutler stocks the basket with some real treats.
:-D
What FUNZ!! Could watch this kind of content all day.
That was so good dude!!! I loved this scene!
Great lessons learned from this as well!!!!
Great direction, which the actors really applied. The second scene had punch. 👏👏👏
I'm so amazed how everything changed in the second reading just by hearing a couple of pointers. I'm truly inspired
@SnoopZ Brian's philosophy is not to give a lot of direction. He says that that is not the way directors work in the real world of film acting.
Love this! More of this sort of thing would be much appreciated by me.
We have a lot more to share from this class!
let's gooooo Felix!!!
The scene should have been longer, it hooked me. Great acting by both actors 👌
What do you like about this video?
Actually everything. It's showing a dream I never had the chance to chime in so I wish all actors there all the best in their lives!

@@sithmaster We look forward to sharing more from this class with you Kajisan!
@@filmcourage Loving you guys!
Thanks for sharing, that was great and super informative, felt like i was part of the class x
Great scene
Thanks for sharing.
Thank You so much, Karen!
Both guys did amazing. Were the dialogs rehearsed or spontaneous ??
7:35 The quote is by Jean Luc Godard not Truffaut
Very helpful video as an actor
Awesome! Super talented actors too
The little guy seems a bit angry. The big guy is awesome!
I love this video, thank you 🙏🏾
Oh this was spectacular to see! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
We're posting the cold reads tonight at 5pm PST!
He’s not joking when talks about how memorization can get more challenging as one ages. I used to be able to memorize anything. It’s harder now.
this was so good
Does your company offer acting classes over zoom? I do not live in CA.
Sorry for the late response @Life As O. To answer your question, Yes! We do offer Zoom classes! Feel free to sign up for a free audit at www.actorsstudio.com.
This is great :) Is it possible to watch this full video anywhere?

As an upcoming actor this was very helpful
Dr Octopus "Hello Peter"
So cool

Great stuff.
Excellent scene from an excellent book. Love Ayn Rand.
The bigger guy is amazing! The little guy is angry and mocking.
That's great video Idea
How do people memorize this in a week?!
"I'm alive, he says"
Getting serious John Candy vibes
' Film Industry
I wonder what the guy on the left talks like in real life…
bonanza lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is 27 tooo old to begin training and pursue acting?
Here's someone who started at age 85 - th-cam.com/video/LsFjMldSSnE/w-d-xo.html
There's no age limit on acting... just be able to remember.
