1. Introduction: Hello everyone. My name is Mahmud saw from the certain. And I am here to share with you how to be a good actor. It could be, how could you be a good actor? It could be hard to enhance your acting skills, or it could just be how to be a perfect actor. Now, I have been acting doing drama like since preschool. That means I've been doing it forever. And then I did it in high school years. I have been acting, but I'm not in television. But he is. I do have an idea of how it's like on television because I have been to production companies before he is in South Africa, a couple of them. So this course is intended for all of you who are interested in acting, is indeed if you want to speed up your performance a little bit, this is the place for you. So yes, I hope you enjoy it and I hope it it comes in handy for you. 2. Personality Traits: Before we go into acting, I'm going to advise you on a couple of personality traits that you need to bring up a little bit in order to die. Now, indulging into the whole actin process. Now, first of all, you need to learn how to be confident. When you're confident, doesn't really mean that you're arrogant or prior of all proud. No. It means feeling good about yourself. You walk with your head up, you know. And I'm just BU, be yourself, have no doubts about yourself. And be the very person who feels good about yourself. So I'm just act like you have nothing to lose. Smile, even walk with your head up. And if you don't have self-esteem, this is where you put it in half that self-esteem and having that whole mentality of saying, I know I can do this, I know I can do this. Have faith in yourself. Then you will realize that with time, you will start building up that confidence in you. And trust me, when you are confident, it will make people see you on a different angle and people will respect you even bright. So I'll make an example with confidence. Now, I'm going to talk about movies were making examples so that it lists you refer to something that you can go to and have a look at. If you see the movie, Honey, to I know it was a horrible movie. Okay. No offense. It was a horror movies. The dancing, the choreography was awesome. But the directory was just off. The acting was off, including the storyline itself. It was off. And like if you look, if you looked at the movie, you could just tell that everything about it was obvious. If you were to watch the movie, you would just posit in the middle and be like, You know what, I'm done with this. But you need to learn that. Once you have started learning how to act, you have to start. 3. Analyzing Content: Okay, guys, once you start acting, you're going to have to take a look at everything that involves acting. If you're going to start washing movies, you're going to have to start analyzing them. Not for your viewing pleasure. You have to analyze them and see whether the action was good or not because you want to be an actor. Right now. I know honey is the actin wasn't that, right? But there are a few things that you can look at. For instance, with the same topic of confidence. There's a scenario where Maria went to a nightclub. Given a curfew? She went to a nightclub. Just to have fun? Yes. And if you look at it, the entrance that she made at a nightclub, years, no one was looking at her. Who cares? Well, she was noticed thereafter, but my attention was on the entrance that she pulled off. She walked with confidence, was enjoying the music. She was loving the people dancing around her. Because she's a dancer. She loved to dance. So she started smiling, you know, walking up, picking up the pace a little bit, and then she gradually started to dance. That's what I mean by confidence. That way, Maria just wrapped up in a trap like that. Is the attitude that you need to start to develop. The confident she had, the self-esteem she believed in herself. Don't wait for someone to start telling you to believe in yourself. Or in fact, don't wait for someone to believe in, you know, yourself to be living, right? So try to pull off that entrance, that that movement, I teach it. And then with time, it will start to develop, to develop in you. And then another example that I'm going to use is in the movie despicable Me too. I know it's cartoons, right? If you don't like cartoons, our average, you're going to have to watch them. Because if you like, acting, cartoons are fun. So in despicable Me groom had started to like Lucy. Yes. So he started working with Lucy. And one morning he went to work and he walked with confidence because he was excited for mingling with Lucy. He just had a great mood. So he walked to work and each time he walked, you would like to interact with people, dance along the way? I remember there was a part where he there was a scene when he walked past. These are a yoga class. And he just stands there and people responded, the yoga students. And to him it was fun. That also is essential. Because you're, you're showing confidence that interacting with people, that means you have nothing to lose because you're doing it in a positive manner. Now remember, guys, you are building a character here of an actor. Even if you are not an actor, but it's a positive character that you really should have. So the way he behaved than it was just with excitement and trust me with time, you will go with the flow and don't push yourself into doing it. Just do it because you think it's fun. And then as time goes on, the easier it will become. If you are a reserved person, if you are quiet. Then start off with baby steps, you know, bit by bit. And you will get the, trust me, don't think too much about what you do. Don't think too much about yourself. And don't ever imagined that you might get negative remarks from people. Because what you're trying to get is a positive response from people, which will build up the character. I knew the positive character in you, right? And then when people paid along with cruise five, it means he was getting to positive response from people, from the energy around him, which is exactly what you should achieve as an actor. Now, the second that I'm going to talk about is interactivity. If you want to be an actor, keep in mind that you're going to have to act different scenarios. And you're not going to be yourself. Again, you will be acting with people, different kinds of personalities. Like nope, because it's the other actors, personalities. But because it will be the personalities according to the character bibles that has been designed by the scriptwriters. And I'm the director also will be contributing to those personalities. Interacting with people who will make it easier for you to stop developing different characters. You're not actually changing who you are know, but you are trying to make it easier for you to start acting in different characters. Now, this time, you'll be doing it for the sake of acting. Viewership can now with interacting, I mean, make friends as much as you can. And do not be picky when making friends. Just go along and make friends. And look at all kinds of personalities. Because with acting, there are no limits. You have to pull off all kinds of personalities. The good, the bad, the horrible, the genuine, the humble, everything. You just have to put everything altogether. Now, you still have to be careful though, when mingling with people. Because when you mingle with people with negative attitudes, you don't have to take it too personally. Whatever it is that you encounter with these people, you just have to mingle with them just for you to learn from them, from their personality traits, from their behaviors and characters in general. So whatever it is, maybe they might be offensive. They might be harsh. At some stage, maybe divide surprise. You learn to balance with that. Because you're not actually doing this. Because maybe you need help or something like that, or you really need them. No, you just want to learn different characters. You might have to pull off those characters when acting. And you just need to understand that you're acting. It's not necessarily who you are and don't be picking. I know there are boring people out there who might just barred the daylights out of you and you, you just don't want to hang out with them. But after this lesson, you are going to have to try to put up with them. Be patient with them. Because you never know. You might be given that character. And with these different personalities. If you try to develop them and you try to exercise them, put some practice in them. It'll be easier for the, for the, for the for the, for the production houses to call you and be like, Okay, you know what? We've realized that you are able to pull off different personalities and hear exactly what we're looking for. Now, you're making it easier for you to be called for additions. Sometimes not even for an audition. They just like what you do. You know, they just like what you're capable of. And then all they want to do is just put you in and be like, You know what? You're exactly what we want. That means they won't have to hunt. Hectic, hectic leave for one specific character that they're looking for. Alright? So when interacting, as you do make friends, learn to listen, alright? Learn to listen to different people's stories. Listen to what they have to tell you. If maybe someone feels like talking to or maybe there'll be talking in passengers like that. Yes. Learn to listen to their different stories because there'll be a lot to learn. In return. Take note of the way they respond to their experiences. Whether it's positive, whether it's negative. Because you're busy keeping all these things in mind. And you don't necessarily have to remember every single thing. But the fact that you'll be having a positive attitude, it'll make it easier for you to start going with the flow. You'll just roll. It will be a lot easier out there, right? You don't even need to take notes down. It's not necessarily trust me. So I'm absorb that different personality traits and learn as much as you can to digest every single thing that they tell you. If you do absorb, then it will give you more understanding. And do not, judge. No, don't be judgmental. She's learned to understand instead of judging, right? Because if you judge, it means you're starting to create a negative energy. Once you start being negative, then trust me, you'll be judging yourself to when you're giving a particular role. You end up being like, do I really have to take that road? Were really have to act like this. You will start being negative. And guys, remember to keep it in mind that you are acting, right. You'll be acting, not doing this in real life. You will be acting now, developing these personality traits or enhancing them. Let me say, it will help you to make it easy to start acting them. Alright? So, um, sometimes you might want to just go to an event, maybe just go out there. It can be one of those pumps where you get people who perform stuff like that. If it's an event, that's where people get to interact. Now when you go to an event, you know for a fact that you're going to acquire a few people, sit at a table, join people, or let them join you, chat, you know, because they'll always be a lot to talk about. Chat, have discussions with them, talk about anything. You don't necessarily have to start a hectic topic. You can discuss about what's happening. 4. People's Opinions Matter: Now from discussing about what is happening, clearly, you will start learning people's opinions. You will start to paying attention to their reactions. If maybe there's a performance happening, say maybe there's a jazz band or someone singing, you know, going solo. You're going to learn their personalities. Let me say their reactions towards the performances. Maybe they will scream at them like whoo, he is. You pay attention to that too now and use that at someone that's busy seeing. Some of them are going to, they're going to cheer up. Some of them might find them boring. And they will react towards that if they want to boo them. Yes, they'll go boo. And you know, people are going to act in different ways. Pay attention to that, start absorbing. And don t know. I don't interrogate. Just be at your own spot. You can just laugh along. Maybe if you need to buy, just stay positive. Lend to have control over your behavior. Because you just want to interact with people. You just want to look at how they behave so that when you are now acting, given a role, you already have different ideas of how you can respond to certain things. So sometimes you wouldn't need, you won't even need a director to tell you exactly what to do. You might just pull something off and you just did it perfectly. You don't even need to change or make a few adjustments to it, right? Because you'll be having a lot of experience from just interacting with people in, from just learning all of these that I'm telling you right now, that I'm sharing with you right now. Alright? And then the third. Now, if you're an introvert, you're going to have to get out of that shell because we don't need it. You're going to have to start being bubbly. Bubbly, like you just have to go out there. And, you know, yes, interact. Continue to interact, but you're going to have to be badly. Chat. Like it. Maybe get to Bob, lead to a point that people do get annoyed and start running away from you. But somehow you can pull it off because you want to see how different people respond to your bubbly a t-shirt. And if maybe they do get annoyed, just look at how they react to it. Because you are learning different personalities, right? You are learning different ways to pull off a scenario. So if you're bubbly, let people respond to the way you behave when you're bubbling. Because you want to see the reactions. You want to see how they act. Because trust me, when you are acting, you are doing something that's like, let's say you're watching a movie and you know, it's, it's something that you think it's a daily activity that you can do easily. But trust me, when you are then you are given a scenario. It's not easy because you're given a scenario of like, you're given a role that is completely not true. So if you think you'll just do act according to how you are being directed, then stuck going to be using. If you haven't really acted before, it's not going to be easy, not this. I'm telling those of you who have never tried acting. However, if you try to take a look at the way people, the way people act, and you try to put yourself in their shoes. Whether it's easy or not, to put it into practice and start acting. Alright? And with time, you will realize that it's just a walk in a park, you know. So. When you, when you look at the way people respond, just imagine you will be given the same scenario. If you have put that into practice, trust me, it'll be so much easier when you start doing that role. Onset. Now. Lend to start conversations. Even if it's not important, even if it's just about nothing, you know, you can see a mouse walking past you. We can just start chatting about a mass like, Oh my gosh, a mouse freaks me out or high. So Q, to look at the tape and just laugh about it. You can tell about anything. In fact, you can actually create a conversation out of anything. And whether it's important or not, just chat, talk about it. Because when you're bubbling, you, you start being flexible. You know, you start making it easier for you to do a lot of things. Because when you're not bubbly, ah, even though confidence, you might happen to lag. And when you, when you did badly, it means it can sometimes mean that you're shy. And if you are shy, trust me, there's no way you're going to make it. You just have to work on your character. If you know that you're a shy person or you're an introvert, you need to start looking at these pointers that I have given you. And trust me, you will realize that I'm slowly and surely, you know, your mindset. We'll start to change. Now when you're babbling, doesn't necessarily mean you need to talk about personal things. Personal matters, Not really. You can just talk about yourself in general. Be a little superficial in your talking because you don't necessarily need to go a little too deep about you. You can just chat about. I went to a music concert and it was awesome. I like the way the violinist pulled it off. You know. Then from just watching the concert, I felt I wanted to get myself a violin and starts playing along with those strings. Or maybe, maybe say you saw someone play guitar. I know what it was so beautiful and I want a status trump boost guitar strings. And I know I'm going to pull it off. Stuff like that. You can talk about having a walk in a park and then he came across a stranger. And stranger was an awesome person. You can just talk. Sometimes you can just give people advice this and be like, you know, you can rather do this in stayed and abstain from doing bad. You don't necessarily need to think too much about it. I know for beginners, in poking, in being bubbling, it won't be easy because you feel it's not going to be easy to come up with a topic. But if you do think of a topic or maybe you just if you if you do think of a topic, Yes, that's fine. But you don't have to think about a topic, otherwise, you will end up running out of topics. If you think about studying what topic, thinking of why like what topic am I going to start? No. Don't think about a topic. Just use what's already in your mind or the surroundings. You see nice curtains out there. You're like, Oh wow, curtains. Oh, they look nice. I like this color or you know, this color. It can mean this and this and that. And then, you know, you end up talking about cartons, uh, you know, from cartons, two cars, not realizing it. That's why I'm saying, don't stress about what topic you're going to start with because that is exactly, we're going to lose it. Alright? So, um, it's good also to share your thoughts and your ideas with people. Even if it's with strangers. Sharing thoughts. Can make it easier also teaches end up having a chat. And in return, the person next to you that you're sharing thoughts with or subtle. So sharing their thoughts. And remember, lend to listen. Yes, you may be bubbly, but don't try to prevent other people from talking. Also. Because if you come across a person who is also badly, trust me, you want to give them a chance to talk. Because being a good listener also can be very important. Not that it can be important. It is important because sometimes listening can give people a certain perception about you. In some fields. Like I think philosophy, one of those things. Or is it psychology? Is philosophy, psychology one of those? They say, if you listen more to a person, especially if a person dies, know how to talk. It gives them an impression that you have large capacity to love. People. Do assume that listeners have that a good place in their hearts to love people. Like a capacity to love admins. They do love people and they, they care. In other words, don't just talk and stop and block either people from talking. Because if you block people from talking, then it's a recipe for chasing them away. They'll run from you and they would never want to hang out with you again. And once you start doing that, then it's another form of a negative energy. Because it goes with Oregon's. You don't want to be arrogant at all. Because when you are again, you won't be aware of the negative energy that surrounds you. But if you tried to be humble when you're bubbly, if you do act humble, you know, people will respect you for that and they were like You actually, if you spend more time chatting with them, they will enjoy hanging out with you. And if they realize that you listen, then you, though, it is, the more you'll be drawing them closer to you, even more. So they will enjoy your company. And that's exactly what you're looking for. If you are an actor, draw as many people as you can, because that is how you start to learn from them. Now, imagine you're giving a scenario in acting. We have to be the best person ever. If you look at how badly you have been with people, then you won't have anything to lose. And always so easy for you to be badly. You won't even have to think about it. Because imagine if you're given a scenario and it's something that you've never done before. You might even get nervous. Especially if you haven't really done it, even in real life, it might get you nervous. But if it's something that you do regularly or practically, then it'll be so much easier for you and you will pull it off. You'll just go with the flow. Sometimes you might even go beyond the script. And if you've been asked to go further than what the script has been written for you. It will be easier to just add on some few words to the script. And you'll just go, you know, we'll just go off with it. So years, those three Personality Traits, trust me, they will boost your abilities to now start acting. So please try them and try to see if they really work for you right now. If they don't feel they don't work for you, just try working on them to try to work with them, but at a different angle. You don't have to do exactly what I'm asking you to do. But you can just look and analyze it. A few things that I just told you. 5. Focus On What You're good at: Now, guys, try to focus more on what you're good at. Stuck with the things that you are really good at. And then with time, try looking at your, your weaknesses and start now to work around them. Now with these things that I've mentioned, if you know that you're good at some of them, start with them first. And the practical. And then once you've, once you are confident with them, now on working on the things that you knew that you can't do when looking at the things that I've mentioned now, the points that I've mentioned, try looking at things that you can't do that you don't know how to pull off, okay? And start learning now because you don't want to have limits with Acting. Director tells you I want you to do this. There's no way you're going to tell them. I can't do that. No, you have to do it. You should not start enjoying what you do. Alright? Now, once you are done with those three pointers that I've given you, start now to implement these activities that I'm going to share with you now, one at a time. Guys, don't try to do all of them at once. Otherwise, you will start being crossing a little confusion. And at 1, you will start not to enjoy what you're doing. Try with one activity at a time. Put some practice on it and be as practical as you possibly can, and use them on a daily basis. Okay, guys. Now, I'm the first one is that you want to be dramatic because there's no way you're going to want to be an actor and not be dramatic. Actors are dramatic. Alright? So near dramatic, you just have to go all in all the way, you know with with your drama. And well, I don't mean that you should go out of your way to annoy people know, just add a little drama to your attitude. And it'll just to enhance it a little bit. Okay? With pink dramatic. You shouldn't be afraid to create a scene of yourself. Even if you're out there and say You're in the streets. And you just want to pull something off, you know. So you just want to add, you just want to dance in the streets. Just, you know, it can be anything. Just so people can stare at you because you want the attention. In order for a movie to be, to be watched, it has to grab the viewer's attention. So if you're not able to grab attention, then it means you're acting is poor. If you're not dramatic. It means you're not an actor enough. You should learn to act up. Sometimes people snap. And the act app. You should learn to do that. Sometimes you, you know, you can do it in a form of a joke because you're not you're not fighting in and tried to do this with people around him when acting up with people around you and in a fun way so that you get, you get them to respond. Because remember, we're trying to, we're trying to get people to respond to that. We learn different response responses from people. Alright? So where do you act up? Then? It means people are going to look at you like something's going on with you. Or some maybe like you've lost your mind. Or sometimes you can just act up to us to create a joke and then people just laugh. It might be somewhat risky if you do it with strangers. Because they might be authentic to just the way you, you, you act. Not necessarily to the context, alright? Or the event. So, yeah, it's much safer to pull off the activity, doing it around people that you know. Sometimes you might need to show a little aggression. Say maybe someone's spilled you with juice. Obviously that person is guilty. They might feel bad. You might want to act up like, why did you do that? Do you know how expensive my dress is? Ours looked at you. What is your problem? Because you want to implement the, that whole idea of being dramatic. And then maybe after acting up towards that person, you might as well be like, relax us, just joking. You can chill. It's fine. I get it cleaned up because you are trying to build up the personality here that you're going to use as an actor. You might just be, given that Rome. And this time, it could be on a different level. But once it's something that you've done before, then what have you to lose? It'll be so much easier. You will know exactly what to do. Now. Along the line, you need to show a little emotion. When you're dramatic. Because you, you're going to come across different emotions. You're going to be given different emotions. So you need to show a little emotion, you know, be an emotional person. At some stage. Is do show some emotion, maybe in response to what is happening to the incident around you. And when you're emotional. And I'll give people a certain perspective about you. If something is really bad. Do show that, you know, you're getting it. It is bad. Do react to it. Because you're trying to be dramatic here. If something is sad, even if it means crying, you can shed a tear a little. Just so you develop the motion. The more you put your emotion into practice, the easier it will be for you to actually act the part. And I know crying is difficult for a lot of people have heard this, like in some productions. If you really can't cry, especially for men, the Kikee really hard. Really hard. Yeah. Just for you to have that emotion like because they want the expression on your face. If you are emotional and you can show it than handles, know why'd you have to have an expression? And if they don't kick you hard, then it means you are going to cry because they're going to hurt you. I feel I feel bad. I feel so sorry for the guys. Like really. Gentlemen. I know for most of you, it's not easy to show emotions. Like you hide them because you are very secretive. You don't your unlike women, because women will literally cry and be like, oh my card, this is bad. But with you, it's not good. It's not easy because you are bit more secretive, so you need to start to let it all out. You know, you need to start to open out. So you're going to have to learn how to cry. And it's not just crying. If you need to laugh, just burst out and laugh. Because your, you need to forget about being yourself. You need to start thinking like an actor. Just burst out laughing, even if it means falling on the ground and giggling and crawling and doing all that stuff and rolling. Just do it. Because you're an actor now, you're being dramatic and learn to enjoy all of these things that you're doing. Because if you have a passion for something, you have to enjoy it. If you have a passion for acting, you have to enjoy every bit of it. So if you come across the awkwardness, you will have to learn to express that. On even if you don't, if you do it silently, if you don't say it out loud, that something is awkward or if you don't comment on it, shut that expression by the look on your face. Gosh, what is this in? And it comes in different ways depending on what is happening in the scene is. So if you look at, I'm going to make, I'm going to mentioned this movie. If you haven't watched it. I think you should watch it because it actually shows a little drama in terms of emotion. If you watched the movie, the darkest mind, the darkest mind or the dicussed minds and think years. With the main character as a Mandler. Spielberg. He looked at her, her name is Ruby in the movie, is so emotional. She reacts to almost everything, whether good or bad. She becomes emotionally drained. You know, she absorbs it so deeply that she's going to start to cry. When she's excited in the movie. You know, she will smile and yet have tears filled in her face. In her eyes. You see the heaviness in her, right? So the same applies to winches deeply hurt. You'll never see a smile on her face, but you will see the heaviness written all over her face. And you, that's when you will notice that she's deeply hurt. And she goes to an extent of shedding tears. She cries and she cries heavily, even if she doesn't scream out loud when crying. But you will see the expression on her face talking to. That's what I mean by being emotional. Right? When you're crying, like make it so intense that people feel that too. 6. Emotions: Have you noticed that, like have you ever watched a movie that is emotional and then you start to cry because you're relating to the movie like, Oh my gosh, whatever was in that person's shoes, or maybe you're shooting, you actually feel like you're a part of that movie. That's exactly what should happen. Because you're giving your view was an impression about you. So they need to relate with what is happening. And another thing is that like when you laugh in a movie, even if it's not that funny. But because you'd be laughing and having fun and denote bursting out and all that stuff. The viewers, even if they don't love, but they will smile or maybe just enjoyed this scenario. Alright, not that is my point exactly. So, um, another point. You have to, you may not be a joke, a joker, but you're going to have to learn how to mimic people. Mimicking people means simply doing exactly what they get into, exactly what they do. Act in the way that they act. You can do it exactly how they do it. You can exaggerate, over-exaggerated, or maybe can be a little close enough, but close enough isn't good enough. There's mimicking pupil in a good way. If you look at your favorite character, maybe saying beyond saying. Because not only watching movies, it's not movies only where you find people acting, even in singing, when you watch the music videos. There's a lot of acting in there. So don't just focus on movies, focus also on music videos. And pay more attention to them. So if you're looking at beyond say and how she is like behaving are and let's say Gabriele union. I know a lot of pupil. They just like how she behaves. And sometimes it can really, you know, people can act so intensely that it looks like it's, that's how they behave in real life. Now, I wouldn't have an answer to that because I've never really met them in real life. But, um, if you look at them the way they behave, you know, try to mimic them and try to do exactly what they do. When I say in a good way, I'm saying try to do exactly what they're doing. And, you know, you can put that into practice. It doesn't necessarily have to be the actors are your favorite character. Even the ones that you hate, tried to mimic them in a good way. And then later on mimic them in a bad way. Like in a nasty manner, like the nasty when you may make them. Sometimes when somebody tells you something and they're like genuine wing or maybe in a rude way and then you're going to mimic them in an STI or whatever. That attitude should also try to put it into, you should also try to put into practice. And if you don't do it with your actors, you can do it with people around you. Urine. If you mimic them in a bad way, you don't have to rub it in their faces. You can just do it in your own space. So while looking yourself in the mirror or with someone else. And I'm not saying this in order to defend offend someone, but it's just one of those things that you need to practice in order to make it easier for you to play. The one particular role that you'll be chosen to. Look at how people do things, how they eat, they sleep. If you went to sleep and snore or even rule, just draw it and just do it either. Because you might have to just drew in your sleep when acting. And you know how you sit, your posture, your gestures and everything else. And just how they behave in general, and how they move and how they do things and came. And then it will make it easier for you to pull up even gestures that you don't have yourself. It'll make it easier for you for movement in order for you to pull it off. So if you watch how to train your dragon, There's a scene where Astrid arrives, where hiccup was with toothless. She arrives there with her dragon. And Astrid had a little chat about hiccup becoming achieve taken over. His dad. And hiccup did not like the whole idea of becoming a chief because he wasn't about that. He just enjoyed flying with toothless. Then there was a pod where Astrid was like mimicking, pick up with the way he behaves, leg. Hahaha, the way he normally shrugged his shoulders where these a bit uncomfortable about something. So Astrid did pull it off. So that means you mimicking someone next to you like that. Yeah, You can even exaggerated and make it look a bit funnier. And then in the wedding ringer, if you look at Kevin Hart, who has named big Mitchum, like we all know that Kevin Hart is crazy. But he had to mimic like in a form of taking a roll of different personalities. For instance, he had to become a priest. So what was well-respected? Imagine Kevin Hart, the respected personal like a priest. He wasn't he he acted as a Roman Catholic priest at 1, where he kidnapped the priest and took his place just to marry a couple. Alright, It was just crazy of him. Now, if you couldn't learn how to act like that, then trust me, everything, we'll just go with the flow. It will be much easier for you to just pull off any scenario that you're given. And then remember, when I talked about mimicking people in a bad wing. If you've watched the movie Liar, liar. By Jim Carrey. The comedian. There was a scenario where they were in a courtroom, and Fletcher was the judge. And then they had a dispute with the other lawyer. And he pulled off a stand. How he normally plays around with his face, like making all those funny faces. And then the lady was just looking at him a little disgusted and somehow concerned. And after pulling off those funny faces, she got annoyed and said, very funny, Fletcher, you want to play hardball? I'm game. As she turned around, Jim Carrey who was, who played Fletcher, he mimicked her. But in a nasty way. You want to play yard wall gay. Now, that's exactly what I meant when American people it and ask away. Because you never, you just want to like make fun sometimes a little bit of a bad situation that is capable of upsetting you. Then if you like that, if you just turn it into a joke, that it might just become fun, it won't be so bad at all. Now trying to do it seriously, mega joule, and just don't do it at the Faisal's. Or it might not be safe. It might be a little risky. Alright. Now I'm moving to the next one. Does speech. When acting, you have to work around your speech the way you talk. You need to start talking properly. Let your words, like every single word that you say, be hard. Okay, don't try to talk fast in whether people won't hear you, won't be able to hear you. Speak in a way that people be able to hear what you're saying. Control your words. Control the flow of your words to avoid mumbling. Because if you mumble, then In the entire movie might just be a flop because people wanted to hear what you're saying. And it said if people can't hear what you're saying, because it makes the movie boring. Tried to bite in when you talk. Like pronounce every word. And the way it is, don't try to pull off an accent that you possibly don't even have. If you know that you're busy trying to prove an American accent, then it's not a good idea because the Americans or the Americans, okay? If you are a Nigerian and you have your Nigerian accent, use it. But try to be clear. And pupil, trust me, will understand what you're saying. I am not Nigerian. Okay. I'm African. But if a Nigerian starts talking, I understood exactly what they say. The same applies to even other accents like Indians. They have their accents, like everywhere people have their accents. And it only makes it possible for us to hear what they're saying when they are clear. That's all we need. You don't have to sound perfect in whatever language that you're using because you can't. No, every single language. But if you sound perfect, I mean, if you sound clear, tenders, all we need. Trust me. Alright. So like I never used to like how Channing humbly, Channing Tatum was the movie step up one, I think. Now in step up two years 12. Back then, Channing Tatum. Like he, he has this mumbling accent. With time. I've noticed that he has improved. But if that's the one example Channing Tatum is mumbling. And for people who hardly understand English, then you might not even hear exactly what he's saying. Well, I'm talking from my own perspective or sometimes miss out to some of his contexts. Now the one thing that I've always complained about when it comes to mumbling the movie Twilight, AdWord and Bella. Those guys mumbled, they'll weigh out the entire movie. There was so much mumbling, especially between those two. Everybody else, the supporting characters were perfectly fine. But the main characters, Edward and Bella. I just found them annoying as much as they were the main characters in the movie. I really found them annoying because they will mumbling. They didn't speak properly, like actors do. Now, good people transfer much as possible to avoid dash, okay, that, that was a clear example that I just made. Now, another thing is the attitude. You need to start to develop a camera attitude. Just like the models. Just like the models do. If you watch models when they're doing photography or the catwalk. If you look at their faces, there, is that what we call a camera attitude? That they pull off on their, on their faces, that look on their faces. He needs to start to imitate them. And while, while you're, while you're added, learn different attitudes for different scenarios. Learn to act mean. When acting mean. You also have to show it in your face. The facial expression. Learned to act humble, learned to be malicious, horrible person. If you're a witch. Or your weekend, for instance, you'll have to act in that way, you know, tried to put that emotion in your face. Because what matters the most? Remember when you're acting, you are the face of that particular character. That means you have to do exactly what you are expected to do. And to give the viewers a picture of what is happening. You need to act. Learn how to act. Dominant, dependable. Like you're a dependent person. If and khaki act like you really cocky, like you own it or even the way you walk. And then learn also how to feel small. In a scenario. Less important, you have to balance all of those ways of acting. Which is why I, which is attitude. Those different attitudes don't just focus on the negatives, are only on the positives focus of all of them so that you are able to balance them all and to put them together. 7. Gestures: 1, again, that goes with movement. Gestures. You need to start to learn how to create gestures and different gestures. They say a lot, even when you're not seeing anything. But if you create a particular gesture for a particular scenario, even the viewers out there will understand what is happening in a movie. Just silently. Now, add them to add those gestures or action. Actions when talking for people to understand what you're saying. Even if they don't understand your language. They should understand what is happening. They should get a picture to maybe anticipate that, Oh, she's probably saying this. It makes it easier for people to understand the movie even clearer. That means even people who don't understand the language that is being used in the movie. They could even watch it. Just because it's more action-oriented. And if you watch a lot of Bollywood movies and what else? You know, the Chinese movies, they are more action-based. And you get to understand what's happening in a movie. You can even create a story yourself when telling someone that movie itself and what it entails. So obvious, obviously, it makes it a good movie. If it's like that, when people are able to understand it. So pay attention. I know this might be crazy, but attention to our gay brothers. They are dramatic and they have gestures. Days. Like they just over-exaggerate the gestures. They tried to be like ladies, but they exaggerated. They do more than, you know, how ladies behave. So if you look at them and try not to judge them. But if you try to look at them, they have those gestures that you won't forget and trust me, you're going to say something about them when you get home like, Oh my gosh. This gave rather that I saw in tower like it was just funny and doing all that stuff. Because there isn't one saying gay people. It's because if you look at the characters, they respond to what's happening around them. They are highly responsive. So wishes exactly what we're looking at, what we're looking for. You need to be highly responsive to what's happening around you. And don't just be ignorant. And when you're able to respond like that, you just find it easier to just play the part because you don't necessarily have to be yourself. And you should even learned to show discomfort. Purchased your gestures. When you're feeling uncomfortable, just show it for someone out there to see that you're feeling uncomfortable. And then, you know, when you're up to something, when you're nervous, when worried, stressed, you can fish it a little bit to, you know, to show how exactly you feel. Fidget, say maybe you're feeling nervous. Fidget showing that you're nervous when you stressed. Show it that you're stressed. So yeah, you must actually try motor elaborate. You're talking with your actions. Okay? Yeah. Now, the next point that we're going to discuss is exaggeration. When you're acting. You have to exaggerate. Oh, like almost everything that you do. Because, you know, in the inner movie, you don't have to be normal. You have to exaggerate a little in order to make it interesting. Because remember, the reason why we have movies. As for entertainment, and in order for someone to watch you moving, they have to find it interesting. Okay? So if a movie is exactly, is exaggerated, like if you, your behavior, your movements, your everything is a little exaggerated, then it will become more interesting and it will draw more viewers to watching. You're moving. Like you need to show further action than you do in your normal life or in your day-to-day routines and don't act to come? No. Yes. You may be given a scenario where you are coming in a movie and being calm. I think it's the easiest thing to do for almost everyone because being comes simply means keeping a low profile and try to elaborate every single move that you do and make it clear. If you need to pick something up, show it that you're picking something up. It's a move that you need to do. Alright? Don't just be swift when doing it. Otherwise, the viewers out there won't see what's happening. Because maybe picking something up might be an important scenario because maybe that's something that you're picking up is a part of this scenario. And if people don't see that you're actually picking something up, then it won't be significant at all. Okay. So stuff like having to pause and breathe a little bit. If you need to take a deep breath, do it. And lipid people see that you're trying to take a deep breath. And then if you need to think out loud, just do it. And for the viewers to hear you out. The way you talk, it must be for the viewers. Here you are. They must out in a way that they understand you. Now, if you look at things like a man, two candies, the way she just cried after her. The whole scene where she went to jail and then she came back and when she arrived at the venue of her wedding, at the hotel where they stayed, she realized that it was a bit too late in the venue was given to the next client for that particular time slot that that was booked. So it was a disappointment for all of them because the wedding had to happen, but it just almost got cancelled. To their minds at that point. They felt it was just canceled because they missed the venue. And now, if you look at the way the Kennedys cried, and she cried heavily, she didn't scream out loud or anything. But if you look at the way she cried, it, you could relate to how she was feeling. Okay. So that means she cried. She probably doesn't cry like that in real life. Because maybe some, you know, when you cry, you do it secretly for people not to see you, or you just try not to cry. Know whether people feel sorry for you. Alright. But the weekend is do it. Yes. That's the exact dramatic way that she needed to do it, which is a little exaggerated. And if you look at Man, Man of Steel, okay? Unless scenario where Professor Richard was in, was in an aircraft, mentioned that he and he needed to install the Kodak into that slot where where it was supposed to be switched on in a plane. You know, if you have seen that scenario, he he was a bit drained. The aircraft was like, you know, it kept moving around because there was a lot of destruction in the air. Because if you remember, there were foreigners from the other planet and wrote reside. The rest of the guys that were busy trying to destroy the planet. So the aircraft was facing a lot of destruction. And you know, it, it, it kept moving. 8. Where To Get Your Cast: Even if you do sing, even if it doesn't make sense, just saying, you can make up a song I just seen. And then you can even create a puppet show in the house. Just grab your stock footage and put your hand inside it and then get to talk. Like it's another way of entertaining. You can entertain kids. He can enter it in grown-ups with the puppet show. It doesn't really matter because you're putting it into practice. You don't have to be perfect from the word go. No, it's not necessary. It will let them respond. Whether it's good or bad. Take it all. Don't just want to hear positive responses known. Take both of them. Because it will help you to, not to be shy. Because when you're shy, it means you simply won't be able to do anything. Now, another thing, guys, you should hang out more with kids. Because when you hang out with kids, it simply helps you to go down to their level as kids. Because when you're acting, trust me, you're like a kid. You're being told what to do without questioning. You are told to run around without knowing why, reason, because you're given an order to do so. Now, trust me, kids are fun. People to hang out with. Will always respond to your actions. They will always have a lot to say. And, you know, kids, they easily get entertained. No matter what you do. They get entertained very easily. They listen to you, no matter what. Provided that you like, what you ask them to do. They will have different opinions. Know you do something or you say something. A kid will always have an opinion. They always have something to say. Yeah, that's just true. And what I liked the most about kids is that they are honest. There'll be honest with you. No matter what, even if it's offensive, there'll be honest with you. And us. With kids, we all know that we should never be offense offensive to whatever they do or whatever they say. They're just kids. And they will enjoy hanging out with you. The more you give them attention. Because kids love attention. Trust me. They want to be you know, they want to be heard. If you make kid feels special, trust me, they will love you, your company even more. They are never kids, are never too busy to play. You know, if you hang out with kids and you just want to play with them, trust me, that's the easiest thing to do. Now let's compare kids to grownups. A grown-up will be like, Oh, I have an important phone call. Next thing he wants to stop pressing his phone and be like, oh yeah, a little bit busy. So you won't have enough time to hang out with grownups, like you will with kids. And you will learn from the different actions that different responses, that different words, even the things that they say. There will be so much to learn from kids more than you learn from adults. And the kids. Don't question much, unlike a doubts Question much as like, Okay, why are we doing this? Why are we playing? Why should we hang out with, you know, they won't necessarily questions certain things that adults will question you. And then like for you to make things easier. It doesn't matter where do you get the kids from. It can be the kids in your family. You can put the kids in your neighborhood. Or you can just pay a visit to a preschool and to learn the environment of being around, around kids. At the example that I have here is the movie despicable Me. Those minions. There are kids in it as much as they are agents of the day. There, his babies, their kids. Now try to put yourself in his shoes and imagine you have a bunch of kids. Grew just tells them do this, they do it. And if they retaliate years, they do retaliate if they want to. But those are the different personalities that you need to start to develop and to learn when you hang out with kids. Because there's always something to learn from a kid each day. Because a kid as growing up, they're busy trying to find themselves. That's why you will always find something different each day about every kid. And he is. While we are added. When being an actor, let every mood and moment count. Whatever it is that you do, or whatever mood that you pull off, let it count. Don't just do something in passing and just let it be okay. Because when you're acting, you're conveying a message. Now. Every moment must be seen. The event must be understood. In other words, every mood that you pull off must be precise so that the viewers can get the picture what is happening. Every movement and mood must go in line with the scenario. Each scenario that you are n, Remember to prepare a certain mood for it, for the viewers to understand what's going on. Because the one important thing that you want to do is to get the viewers to understand what is happening in this scenario. Each scenario. Then always remember that the viewers are the only people that you're communicating with. Because you're, you're conveying a message to them. It's a form of communication, right? You are trying to tell them something. You're trying to recite something, you're trying to tell a story. They are the people that you're talking to. Now behave like you are in contact with your viewer when acting like, here's what's happening. And be as precise as you possibly can. Like the what I'm trying to say is in the movie despicable Me part to the scenario where Lucy kidnapped grew. And then she got her, if she, she got him in her trunk, started driving off. The minions, chased Lucy's car until they ended up getting inside the car. And do you know the minions, how they easily forget what's happening? They started joking about what's happening. They forget that they were chasing Lucy for kidnapping grew because now they started finding a different way to entertain themselves. They started playing on the radio, tuning a radio in the car while she was driving off. And then while they were doing it, there was a time when Lucy lifted her finger and slept. One of the minions. And, you know, if you look at the way she did it, she didn't do it in a way that a normal person would do it in real life. Because in real life you just go, right. You just like slept the present like that. But the way elucidated it, she made it clear that she was slapping a minute so that we could see what was happening in which she lived at her hand slowly and went slab. That's what I meant by that. Every movement, you know, and like every moment and mod count. And you could see the expression on her face that she wasn't angry with the minions. She was like joking around with them. And, you know, like even the mood, awesome accounts, it is very important. Then some time, you should try spending some time alone and withdraw from people a little bit. Remember, I asked you to learn these pointers like each one at a time. Don't just do one of them at once because it will cause a little confusion to you and to the people around you. Awesome, because you're practicing. So spend some time alone. Like go out there and Observe, explore ways of being creative. Because creativity is not just around you. It's actually everywhere. It just depends on how you see things in line with your mindset. So I would say maybe use a mirror in your own room. Just grab a mirror and use it. Pretend you are your own viewer because you get to see exactly what is happening. Now with a mirror. You should, you should try to rehearse different things in a mirror. Almost everything that I taught you can you can even rehearse all of those things in the mirror before doing them out there practically. Now in a mirror. Just visual to be alone. Okay. Because this time you're trying to concentrate on what you're actually doing. You should learn how to smile. Learn how to learn how to show anger, excitement, show depression, cry in the mirror. Because you want to see yourself. You want to see if you're really pulling it off screen. Maybe look at yourself and look at how you scream. Show aggression. Like talk to it. Like you're talking to someone else. Because you need to be as much as you won't be seeing yourself when acting. But you need to feel good about yourself. You need to feel confident that you know that you're doing the right thing. Okay? So the mirror, trust me, will play a very important role because it will still help you to gain more confidence in the way you're doing things. Sometimes you can like say, you should have moving. And then you watch that movie when it's out. And then you realize that that was horrible. I should have done this, I should have done that. And in a somehow it will lawyer self-esteem in a little bit. But yes, you will learn that you should have done better. But if you look in the mirror, then you will have enough practice for almost everything for most of the things that you might have to pull off. So trust me, the mirror is very important. It is important. Use it. Spent time looking at pedestrians. You should analyze the way they work, the way they talked with they behave. Whether they are alone or with other, whether it's a single person, or whether it's to people, or whether it's a group of people can analyze their manners. Because this will help you to adapt to different personalities and in acting. Okay? You don't want to look at yourself, only. You need to look at almost everyone out there. 9. Be Highly Observant: Looking around because you need to be highly observant. If you want to be extremely good at what you do, you need to be highly observant. Look at to the things that are that are in relevance to your field. You can even go to an extent on watching the animals out there in the wild. Look at how they walk and try to imitate them. I'm not saying you should crawl and walk like a cat. But you do know the catwalk. How a cat moves. Tried to walk like a cat with your two feet. Like models do. Now. Not only looking at cats, look at how a dog walks. Okay. I would say a dog, you know, it's the way that guys normally walk because they walk like with that, you know, it's the confidence. But in a male perspective, then look at a peacock. The way a peacock walks. It's so like lady-like if, and if it's a male, it looks lady like. It looks arrogant, proud. And you should also try to walk like a peacock. Have that attitude. Also, because he needed to learn different walks and then look at a giraffe and how it works. You know, it the way it's steps. It's so elegant, so smooth. So it's slow in it's walking. You know, those kind of things. To look at them and try to create your own perspective in relation to the k. So in other words, you want to be as creative as possible, like thinking out of the box. If you look at the movie, Honey. The first honey. Honey was in a dance studio rehearsing. There was a time when the when when was it the manager? He told honey that she was missing something, some creativity in her dancing. So she, he, she was expected to come up with something new to think out of the box. And she knew that she needed to. So she went out there. Like she was just taking a walk. It somehow got her depressed and a little drained because, you know, sometimes when you run out of ideas, it does drain you, especially when you are trying really hard. So that's why I'm saying go out there. So she went out she decided to take a walk. In relation to that, if you watched the movie Honey. Those are scenario when honey was in the studio and there was a choreography going down. And while rehearsing, the manager, he told tiny that she was missing something, some creativity. Maybe what she was doing was a little cliche or too obvious. But sometimes, you know, if you're not feeling what you're doing or what someone else is doing. That it means you need to come up with something that is totally different. You need to think out of the box. Go crazy with your thinking. So honey was told to add some vibe to the choreography that she was doing in the studio. Honey got a little depressed because she thought she was doing a lot. But only to find out that doing a lot and not be enough. You need to add a little creative. That's why I'm saying you need to go out there. Honey. One day. Yeah. In the next scene, she took a walk and came across the basketball guys at a court. She approached them and washed them for some time, a couple of seconds. And then she started developing ideas. You know, that's another way of being flexible. She started developing ideas from just watching the basketball players. And then when she went back to the dance studio to rehearse, she came up with the dance move, where she was demonstrating a basketball player playing around with the basketball and then shooting the hoop. Then the manager liked it, like he really liked it. Why? Because it was creative. She thought way out of the box. I mean, for a moment, who would think of creating a dance move by demonstrating a basketball player at something out handsome saying to go out there and observe and create, creates something that's way out of the box. From what you see. Easy things. You don't have to go complicated. Right? Now. After all of these pointers that I've given you about how to about acting. The things that you should add, add to your acting and your daily routines. Now, you need to have control of your behavior. Okay? Because it's, it's really important to know how to control your behavior. You need to learn how to accept criticism. Because when you are doing something and you don't get criticism, then what's the whole point of doing it? It means you're not creating any vibe. Okay? So does constructive criticism. Let people talk and listen to what they have to say? Once he did. Try to work around their comments. And try to also worker on what do you do. This will help you improve. When pupils say pause, it will give you positive remarks and it's fine. But don't get too relaxed. When people give you negative remarks. Don't feel down about it. It's simply, it's actually a good thing. It simply means that you need to improve. And then sometimes you might get people of different genres seeing a lot about you. For instance, dopey, elderly people who don't understand acting at all. Well, not only elderly people, but most cases, it could be elderly people. But there are some people who just simply don't understand acting at all. Those people, whatever it is that they say to you. Obviously, they won't say positive things because they don't understand acting. And maybe their own like it. Just try to work with what they tell you. Don't take it in a bad way. Then the people who hate movies, you know, who, who just say offensive things about what you do. Still. Don't take it too seriously. Because remember guys, no matter what you do, not everyone will like it. Not everyone will hate it. Try looking at famous people that you know, who are actors or music artists, or even watch people in the public. Maybe political leaders or so. And just making an example. If you look at them like the overall part of life, is that if you look at one person in those different fields, you will realize that there are some people who might like them. There's some people who might not like them. Your prime minister or president or your king. You may or may not like him for such and such and such reasons. Your celebrities, there are some that you like. There's something that you don't like. There are some that you don't pay attention to because they don't have that impact in your viewership. The same applies to you whether you like it or not. Because if you don't get an error response from people, whether it's good or bad, it means you don't exist at all. But if you do get a response, if people have something to say about you, then it means you are human. Does nothing wrong with you. Because there's movement, there's something happening in your life and you're creating an impact to people. So please guys, don't feel terrible when someone out there doesn't like you. It's normal because you in return, if someone out there that you don't like no, because they have offended you, but for your own reasons. And then another thing is that you should never give up because of the negative remarks that people tell you? Don't. Because like I said, not everyone or leg what you do and not everyone will hate what you do. When you are in the entertainment industry. Pupil, just talk. They always have a lot to say and trust me, it's not just the entertainment industry, every field, every industry. So don't get too emotional. You need to be highly superficial when it comes to this. Because you have to bear in mind that when it comes to acting, you're not being yourself. You're just paying that image temporarily. Just to entertain the view was you need to stand up for what you like. If you really love to be an actor, do it, you shouldn't care what people have to say. Just do it. If you get negative remarks in some of them, you don't necessarily need to work around them. You just have to ignore them. Because there'll be people out there who try to put you down. Now be that one person who just refuses to be led down, stand your ground. And you don't always have to necessarily reply. If they keep throwing all of those things to you, those negative remarks, you don't always have to reply. You can just ignore them. That could be a good cure for them. And for yourself to King. And then while you are added, guys, like onset or maybe like when a production is going down. Guys, remember, always be humble and obedient. Because when you are at this point, after all of these traits that I have mentioned and shared with you, you have to always keep in mind that someone who is in control came, someone who's in control of all of this, which is the director. He's in charge of what is happening. You need to listen to your director. Be obedient. At this stage. You should forget about being yourself. And learn to listen. And be a good listener. Listen to what you have to be told. Take instructions properly. Be attentive. K. Like this is where you keep your personality traits in control. 10. Value Of Temper: Alright guys, your temper. This is where you learn how to control it. Because in a When does the movie when does a production running? Guys. We don't need any conflicts. We don't need any disputes. We don't need to have to go through any misunderstandings. If you know that something's not right. You need to forget about anything that's personal. Because the work has to be done. You need to start shooting. And then whatever it is that went wrong. Maybe as long as it didn't distract the shooting, as long as it wasn't in front of the camera. It will be worked on afterwards. Because what's important is having a shoot done properly and accurately. So forget about anything that's personnel and focus on what has to happen. That job must be done. Here, guys, is where you need to be highly disciplined. Forget about your attitude. You know, if you're a bossy person, forget about it. You are humble and an obedient person because you're going to have to listen to what you're being told. Imagine you are implied and you're given instructions to do at work. Yes. You're going to have to do those instructions properly because you have someone out there that you need to impress, which is your boss. And your boss's impressed than everything else works out perfectly. But if the bus is not impressed, trust me, this is where you lose your job. You don't want to lose your job. And if anything goes wrong on set, comes with heavy penalties. Because you're not just going to walk away. You don't want to do that. The movie must be done. And if anything goes wrong, you will discuss it out there in person with the team, the crew. Not onset. Onset is where everything happens because they work with a lot of timing. Okay? Now keep that in mind. Maintain your discipline. Now. After all this guys, after this lesson that I've given you, watch movies at a different angle. Now that I've discussed all of these with you, you need to watch movies. Now, not for entertainment this time, but for observation. Look at how the actors pull it off. See yourself pulling it off two. Or let me say, doing a better job. Try to analyze the acting styles, detect the good and the bad actors. You must be able to tell whether someone is a good or a bad actor. Find solutions also for whatever that you find negative in white when watching him moving. Think of a solution yourself. That you could have. If you were to think of something right? Now, what I'm trying to tell you in general is that when you watch a movie, you should try not to. Think of a genre that you like. Watch every movie. Just watch all of them. You know, whatever, move it as you come across, just watch it. And, um, you will learn how to understand them better if you try to analyze them instead of watching them just for entertainment. Okay guys, now, movies will help you to do things better. Because now in the movie industry, the next actor and you're trying to be the finest. Another thing is that if you watch cartoons, guys, I know not everyone likes cartoons. But if you watch cartoons, you'll realize that It's the best way to enhance your skills. Because cartoons I even more dramatic than people in general. Look at the worthy walk. Look at the way they eat, the way they do things. If you watch them and try to act like them, somehow, try to fit in their shoes. Trust me, you will improve your dramatic skills. And even if, like I said, when you improve your gestures in the cartoons, In cartoons, you're able to see what's happening, even if you don't understand the language because cartoons or more dramatic action based. So if you try to understand watching cartoons, then newly exactly what I'm trying to tell you. Everything will make sense. Now, even if you're not going to act and cartoons guys, just watch them. It'll improve your acting skills. Then. Learn not to hate guys. Yeah, because if you hate, then you will miss out on a lot of things. For instance, if there's a person that you hate out there, you need to try to brush it off because you might just act with that person that you hate. And while, when acting, you are going to have to, if we get about your personal life, you're going to act, right. And forget about hating that person. Then. Sometimes it can be hating, hating something in general can be anything. And you might just be given a role where you just have to act the part that you hate the most. If you hate eating in public, you're going to have to eat in public when acting. And you're going to have to do it right. Now, guys, just in general, learn not to hate. Because that's one of the most dangerous things that you don't want to face when it comes to reality of acting now. 11. Conclusion: So to conclude, guys, everything that I've mentioned, please practice. Always practice. And don't get tired. Because if you do get tired, imagine now you're acting and you've been, there have been many mistakes done by you as an actor and by the crew in general. Say the camera operator did something wrong or you experienced unnecessary ambient. And you have to keep repeating the same scenario over and over again. You're not going to have a chance to fall tired and be like, You know what, I'm done? No. No, I get tired. You'd rather have breaks not to think of giving up. So guys, with everything that I've taught you, this brings us to an end. 12.

I need you to learn all of these steps one at a time. Each one of them take into consideration and put into practice with time guys and be very patient. Be patient. And, you know, things will start progressing. And once you're done doing that, yes, start acting and let me know. Send me a feedback. Tell me what you did.
