It's never about YOU . It's about the CHARACTER ! That's the job of the actor - you can use part of you, but it's about bringing YOU to the character not the other way around.

You must learn to let go of your work- you can't carry it with you all day long . Especially if it's a heavily emotional character - separate you from the work and only have it here when YOU CHOOSE !

The Audition (2015) is a slick, self-aware short directed by Martin Scorsese that brings together heavyweights Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio as exaggerated versions of themselves, both competing for the same mysterious role in a Scorsese project. Their rivalry plays out through ego clashes and perfectly timed humor, with Brad Pitt making a brief but memorable appearance that adds to the joke. Beneath the comedy, the film was created as a high-profile promotional piece for the Studio City resorts in Macau and Manila, blending Hollywood prestige with luxury branding. Reportedly made with a massive budget for such a short - estimated around $70 million - it stands as one of the most expensive short films ever produced. The result is a polished, tongue-in-cheek collaboration where cinematic legends poke fun at their own personas while serving a very real, very lavish purpose. #martinscorsese #robertdeniro #leonardodicaprio #bradpitt 15/06/2026

Many actors wait to do their best "when that big role comes " - and throw away those minor roles . You're setting a standard and a work ethic in everything you do - so start now !

"Less Is MORE!" Think like the - the actor wants to show, the character doesn't !

Monologues are a big part of acting - and I don't want you to think of them as "speeches"

Christopher Guest pulls back the curtain on the magic behind his films, revealing that while the dialogue is completely improvised, the foundation is anything but. He compares his unique directing process to jazz musicians: knowing the key, understanding the song, and finding the perfect moment to solo. Despite months of meticulous planning and deep-dive character backstories, the final performances are born entirely in the moment. It’s a masterclass in controlled chaos. #ChristopherGuest #Filmmaking #ActingTips #Improv #DirectorLife 12/06/2026

Improvisation is such a great tool - I don't think it's used enough -

Overacting is a big issue when we act - the audience feels it. But when you understand this concept - you won't be overacting .

Don't just depend on your mind - make thing more concrete but touching them , creating them , acting them out because that way it's not so easy to lose your choices .
