This Month’s Focus
Part Five: Never Settle For The First Taste Of Success
Today’s Class
Sensory Transformation
Today’s Target
One of the largest character unknowns is our perception of the world around us.
There are constant reminders of being on a set, or in an audition room, or being watched by an audience.
Constant tastes of the actor’s world proving the unknowns of our character.
This week we’re expanding our craft with a teammate for our tastebuds, a pal for our perception … a Sensei of Sensory Transformation. (Hey-o!)
A powerful tool for seeing through the eyes of our character.
Hearing through the ears of our character.
Smelling through their nose.
Everytime. Everywhere. No matter the real-world distraction.
