“Acting allows me to feel things; it kind of buys me human experience. And I don’t mean this as acting is higher cause, because it’s not, but it does kind of have a higher awareness emotionally.” - Colin Farrell, b. May 31, 1976

In real life, we’re told to shut down, to never show all of our feelings but with acting, you’re forced to get to the bottom of them. I’ve learned a lot about my flaws through becoming other characters.

Random Acting Tip

It’s so important to know that acting is less about the accuracy of lines and more about emotions and reacting within the context. If someone you’re acting with forgets a part of a line, and you have a line that directly responds to that part of a line, don’t say it. I cannot stress this enough. Not only does it look unnatural and nonsensical, but it also reminds your partner that they’ve forgotten a line, it takes them out of the moment. In order for a scene to go on, the scene must go on. Don’t contribute to a scene possibly stopping because someone’s realizing they’ve forgotten a line. It’s so important to know that acting is much more about acting than knowing and saying lines.
