Pt. 1: So Much More Than Ourselves

Pt. 1: So Much More Than Ourselves

Welcome back to the podcast and Happy New Year! Milton begins Season 4 of I Don’t Need an Acting Class responding to the misconception that as actors, “all we have is ourselves”— a statement that sounds logical but couldn’t be further from the truth. Only using ourselves as actors can limit us and lock us into choices that come out of our feelings, judgements and perspectives on our characters. In the end, your work is a result of multiple factors: you and your choices, your knowledge of the play, and the research you’ve done to understand the circumstances, the world of the play, time period, your character, the big idea of the play and how your character fits into that. But throughout this process, you must be able to discern what is you and what is the character. Have a question for Milton? Email him at questionsformilton@gmail.com
