Mastering moments of silence
For the next 20 days, I'm committing to sharing videos about how to up your acting game. Each day we'll talk for a bit about important steps for you to be taking as you grow your careers. I know these things work because they're things that I stopped doing at some point and immediately saw the negative effects in my aspirations when I stopped.
A bit under the weather today so we're playing a game: No ums or uhs or I hydrate!
Often, we resort to filler words due to fear of interruption or thinking a brief silence feels too long. In the acting world, mastering those moments of silence can be a powerful tool. By establishing a foundation of clear communication in your daily life, you gain the ability to navigate those silent beats, providing a strong base for character building.
Join me, hold me accountable, and let's learn together about refocusing and achieving our goals. See you tomorrow for more!
