Script Work Series

This acting lesson video is how to analyze a script, and covers an actor's job, interpretation, given circumstance, and Stanislavski.

This acting lesson video is about 7 Acting Techniques, and covers Stanislavski, Vakhtangov, Chekhov, Method Acting, Adler, Meisner, and Practical Aesthetics.

In this lesson, I stress the importance of clearing out your busy mind before even attempting to work through your script. I explain the scientific aspects behind a commonly misunderstood practice: meditation; I provide a guided meditation at the end of the lesson -- find a quiet, comfortable spot!

In this lesson, we go over the difference between muscle memory and conscious memory for script work, as well as introduce the provided worksheet for "inner visualization." I briefly exemplify how to go through a monologue (provided) to be able to break down a given script with "beats," and use them alongside the provided worksheet.

This lesson helps simplify any confusion in deciding on what acting technique to use. I provide three simple exercises that go alongside Stanislavski, Meisner, and Strasberg techniques that you can practice to get a feel of the techniques. At the end, I briefly introduce my own personal technique related to emotional intelligence, the "Paunil" technique.

Reminder of Stanislavski, and examples of exercises: inner thoughts, and magic "if."

Reminder of Meisner, and example of the "Repetition exercise."

Reminder of Strasberg, and example of sensory & emotional memory exercises.

A brief introduction to my personal approach, the "Paunil Technique." I outline the framework using the Goleman's emotional intelligence model.
