In real life we do weird stuff with our face, our hands, our body. That’s why life is not always the best model for what we’re doing here. This is make-believe in here. This is something better than real life. We’re after something bigger. We’re after something closer to the truth.
The truth is that thing that resonates with diverse and manifold audiences where no matter who they are relative to you they get the thing you are putting out there. The widest audience doesn’t have to come from the person who is the best actor (shout-out to Tom Cruise!) however it does help if you have the bravery to shine a light on the very thing that scares you/ embarrasses you/ makes you want to barf. That’s the thing you must walk towards. You immediately discover that the thing isn’t so bad. And then you say to yourself I knew it wasn’t that bad. And that’s it. That’s the thing you were meant to parse or peddle. That’s the truth.
Everybody wants it. You had it all along. Now do it again.
And again.
Never stop.
Don’t make your acting like real life. Make your real life like your acting.
If you like the Bold Acting Podcast talk it up at your next dinner or book club. Word-of-Mouth is the best form of advertising. If you don’t like it maybe just keep that to yourself.
Rating and reviewing the thing is also greatly appreciated. It goes a long way to spreading the word.
