David August"My approach is to look at the character’s world. Often, we get so locked into memorizing lines and practicing how we’re going to say those lines, when in reality the lines are just a symbol or representation of the person. I spend a lot of time getting into the character’s life. Every character has a point of view, so what informs this character’s point of view?" —Malcolm-Jamal Warner <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/acting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#acting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/coaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coaching</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/inspiration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inspiration</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ActingCoach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActingCoach</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ActingCoaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActingCoaching</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/actorslife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#actorslife</a>

David August"You cannot try to get the job. Just go in there, have some fun, and do your version of that part. This is what I’m selling. If you want to buy it, that’s cool.
