the
TECHNIQUE

Believability

If no one believes you, it doesn’t matter how accurate or artful you are. Believability alone can make you decent. But it’s not something you can fully judge on your own—you need an outside eye.

Artistry

The frosting on the cake. Artistry comes from curiosity, freedom, and the joy of exploration. It’s what elevates a good performance into a great one. Without it, you’ll be one of many good actors. With it, you’ll stand apart.

Accuracy

You can be believable and still miss the mark. Without accuracy, your performance may unintentionally work against the story being told. Layer in precision—of character, circumstance, and scene—and you’ll move from decent to good. Deep script analysis and honest emotional connection will get you there.

Investigate

Something very specific has been written—you’re part of a story. Step one is understanding what’s being asked of you. A strong grasp of story structure, human psychology, and a comprehensive acting technique, combined with practice in connecting the dots, will guide you.

Personalize

Step two is emotional connection. It’s not enough to intellectually understand the scene—you have to feel it. Real joy, real fear, real loss—whether drawn from memory or imagination. Consistent work in emotional triggering and reflection on your daily inner life are essential here.

Explore

Step three is getting up and doing it—without getting stuck. Physically and emotionally commit to your choices. Immerse yourself in the character’s headspace. React to the world around you. Then do it again, differently. Stay curious. Keep discovering.
