“Actors are intelligent. Yet, many of them do not communicate well. That's what makes it so hard to have a relationship with one.” WellsHardActorsIntelligentCommunicate Author:Omari Hardwick
“My film school is making movies. But, I do think that being an actor has served me immensely, as both a writer and director, in terms of knowing what is playable and what will be fun to play, for actors, and also how to communicate to actors on set, and not screw them up and get them in their head.” ThinkingPlaySchoolFilmActorsFunTermKnowingDirectorsCommunicateScrewsFilm School Author:Josh Radnor
“In my opinion, animation is best when it communicates without words, because it is the perfect medium through which to make shortcuts to meaning. When actors are not talking, just acting out, it looks kind of weird. But in animation, mime is constant, and you accept it.” LooksKindActorsPerfectActingTalkingAcceptingOpinionConstantCommunicateMediumsAnimationNot TalkingShortcutsActing OutMime Author:Signe Baumane
“I think that for a lot of actors - especially American actors - to get line readings and to be told and have your director literally act out the part for you is sort of discouraging in a way. It's a very Eastern European thing to do - a lot of directors that I worked with in Russia did that as well. And, I never took that as an insult, as many actors tend to do. To me, I think it's just offering a certain energy - offering their flavor - and, instead of trying to sort of decode and communicate it to you, they just show you their flavor of what it should be.” ThinkingWayShouldTryingWellsShowsCertainReadingActorsEnergyLinesDirectorsCommunicateRussiaThings To DoInsultOfferingFlavorEasternDiscouraging Author:Jon Bernthal
