Stealing from the People That Interest Us

Stealing from the People That Interest Us

Ok. It's a creepy sounding episode title but it's not what it sounds like. In this episode, we learn more about the power of everyday-observations and how to integrate them into our creative process. Four people from class tell us about characters they’d crossed paths with over the last week, proving that it’s the details we notice about character traits, behavior, and circumstances that make the story good theater. But how do we translate our observations into our work? If we find something specific about them that we really respond to, we can steal it. Brought to you by weaudition.com and anchor.fm I Don’t an Acting Class- the book is out now! Order at idontneedanactingclass.com
