Pacing Notes Are Dangerous

Pacing Notes Are Dangerous

In this episode, Milton takes a great question about pacing, which is a note actors get all the time, especially from people like agents and casting directors, and even directors. The reason it’s so precarious is because it’s an “effect/result” direction and never addresses the reason for the pacing. Does the pacing need to be different because of the genre you’re in? Or is it because the moments aren’t “filled” and therefore the work is dying? Or is it both? Most people who give notes about pacing have no idea *why* the pacing needs to change, and so they don’t know how to direct the actor to change it. In so many cases, the actor runs the risk of just “doing it faster” without any regard for *what* will help achieve that result and *why* it needs to be be achieved. He also takes a question from a listener, (James) who asks about casting based on your credits.

Thank you for a wonderful season! If you have an acting question while we’re on break, send us a voice message (link below ⬇️), or an email at questionsformilton@gmail.com and Milton will send you a personal audio response.
