What If? The Secret to Memorable
Acting Choices | Casting Actors Cast #445
Why do some actors deliver
technically excellent auditions that are quickly forgotten, while others make a director lean forward and say, "I never thought of it that way"?
In Episode #445 of Casting Actors
Cast, casting director, teacher, author and former actor Jeffrey Dreisbach
explores the difference between predictable acting choices and memorable interpretations.
Using his practical "What If?" approach, Jeff demonstrates how actors can explore alternative character needs, obstacles, behaviors, and contradictions to discover surprising yet truthful interpretations of a scene.
You'll learn why actors often play it safe, how to take creative risks without becoming gimmicky, how to experiment with the same dialogue in different ways, and why the ability to take direction is just as important as making an original choice.
Plus, discover the three-step
process: Discover. Test. Evaluate.
A memorable audition doesn't always
change the director's mind about the character. Sometimes it changes the director's mind about the actor.
