I come off stage and I leave the stage behind me, but I’ve acted with people who would come off stage and bawl because it wasn’t within the play for them to cry on stage, and they needed the release.
For an assigned project at school, I turned one of my books into a stage play. Out of pure laziness, I copy/pasted a lot of text directly from my book to the play. My teacher noticed how the writing got 'prosey' in sections. Now, I understand that was my deep voice.
I absolutely love this interviewer, and Jack is one of my favorite people to listen to when it comes to writing advice. Thanks for your time and work. 🌷
This gives me a great deal of comfort. I thought I was messed up every time I got really into a character, whether it was for writing or roleplaying (which is acting and telling a story together with friends).
I think it says a lot as to the soul of the channel in how the very frame of these interviews is presented, her presence is very strong and knowing and yet your own anticipation for the subject permeates and meshes with her self-interested thirst for the wisdom of the knowledge. Perfect interviews. i fw it
So, writing with your deep voice basically means, being connected on an emotional plane to your story and characters. You're no longer thinking of the story, you're living it. Kinda the difference between my first book and my third. 1st - I was in it, I lived it, I never had to think about it. 3rd - I'm telling a story, writing it to practice, plotting at least parts of it because it's not telling itself. :P
Before I listened to Jack Grapes, writing was all apples and oranges to me. I was going bananas wondering why my stories were more of a fruit salad than a real work of... Okay, okay; I know I have to give up writing comedy...
It’s a terrifically condensed version of the advice and methods described in Mary Karr’s book on memoir writing. You’ve got transcend all the voices you’ve read or heard before to get to writing from your own gut if your going to get at your own truth, and if you can get that down cleanly it will be relevant to others. They will feel it, recognize some version of it in their own experience and then recognize they are not alone, that’s the connection and sense of unity that art can bring.
When Jack talking about Martin Sheen using the death of his own father as a trigger to help him become emotional for a scene, it reminded me of Natalie Wood and her controlling, sometimes delusional mother who once tore the wings off a live butterfly to make her young daughter cry on cue. I wonder how many times through Natalie's tragic life she thought of that scene when reaching for genuine emotion or tears.

This guy has been by far my favorite. Thanks for having a channel to share this kind of stuff.
I hear that!! Watching 5 videos in a row of this guy
I love this grapes guy too, and I really love you're channel! Good content. Thank you!
I have never thought about the deep voice. It's a difficult concept, but he did a good job explaining it.

I rewatch every Jack Grapes interview at least once a week. Great stuff!!!

I always find myself going back to Jack Grapes for awhile. The man has some fantastic perspective

Me like dis guy
Acting is extremely dangerous. That's like the first thing they taught us at school and it wasn't no lie.
I've lost my voice for two years now after decades of easy access to it. Any advice for regaining it? I'm desperate.
Maybe something here can help - bit.ly/3CsrQfb
What did this video teach you?
To be careful when putting your glasses on.
Deep voice = The language of the soul

@@johnvliet523 Thanks for the recommendation, John. Will check out Mary Karr's book. Have enjoyed listening to interviews with her.
Being an actor can be dangerous. I mean, Brandon Lee got shot during filming The Crow.
When Jack talking about Martin Sheen using the death of his own father as a trigger to help him become emotional for a scene, it reminded me of Natalie Wood and her controlling, sometimes delusional mother who once tore the wings off a live butterfly to make her young daughter cry on cue.

Do yall go to people houses to film theses?
