No, But What's Really Going On?

No, But What's Really Going On?

This week’s episode begins with an analysis of Aunjanue Ellis’ performance in the film King Richard and why it’s an example of great acting. Her interior life is so complete and rich that we, as an audience, are able to see (and more importantly, feel) the character’s struggle without any dialogue to reveal plot or exposition. How do we bring this level of depth to our work? One way is to talk out. Talk out your character’s past, talk out their unconscious struggle. This makes our work go beyond a kind of surface performance that is just clear or believable. “It turns the dial,” says Milton. “It gives us more to play and it brings the dialogue to life.” Have a question for Milton?
