Thank you for the lesson I appreciate you . Thank you for the help. 😊

I really apricate your videos as I am desperately trying to prepare to play Romeo in a high school production of Romeo and Juliet. Nobody else on KZread really gives as solid advice as you do sir! Thank you, and Godbless!

If i- as most people would - you find it hard to keep working at Romeo, try to us any spare time you suddenly have, keep our script with you always, and you may find bits of it suddenly become easier. It's easy for professional actors to keep working hard (some of them anyway) because they're being paid and they want to keep their audiences interested and happy, but if you just know your lines incredibly well and speak clearly - you will be doing all that many famous actors have done with the part. The lines DO make sense, it just takes time. JOhn

I really appreciate for your videos. I am fan of you and really enjoy. Thanks again

Great tips! Thank you, sir.

Thank you for your time and contributions.

Thanks for the tips. I need to continue to improve on knowing my lines and not just reading on top of the lines.

It’s really wonderful to learn from the masters. Your tips and tricks are really helpful sir. Love from India 🇮🇳.

As always, thank you so much for taking the time to do these. Even if it's something i already know, being reminded of it gets me to rethink about it and possibly taking something new away from it

Over a year ago I watched all your videos and rewatched my favourite ones, because I think they are really really helpful. Back then I didn't do theatre, acting or anything, but I wanted to so bad. Now I'm in a high school play, but I want to be an actor maybe more than anything. I don't know if that makes sense. Thank you

The only thing you have to remember is that most actors face frequent unemployment, and the only (only) way to make it worthwhile is by developing your talent by going to classes and probably to a serious drama course. You may then find there is a 'type' of part you can easily play, or a 'field - theatre/classical/ modern/ or tv or film - which you like so much that you will put up with the difficulties of it all. But if you don't work harder than the average actor, the business is a difficult experience! John

I find your video very informative and to the point. I like that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm. 😎

Thanks for kind words. Actually it's quite fun making the videos, or I wouldn't do it. And finding 'fun' (SOMEWHERE!) in any job, may be all we need in return. We should be paid with a laugh!

Thanks very much for kind words. If you have a fairly simple question you can just ask on my website (better than here) and no charge for that. If you want a session for an audition the same 'CONTACT PAGE' on the website ( Windsor-Cunningham.com ) gets me, or my direct email ( jwcactor @yahoo.com ) - or, - if you don't have time just try to work out what the opening lines really mean, which is mainly what I would help with, and try different meanings. And make sure you have had some parallel experience which makes that meaning truthful.John.

@@NewYorkActingCoach Thank you so much Sir! if I was short in time, I will definitely keep in mind this brief you just mentioned and write it down in my notes. Thank you again Sir!!!

thank you. I was in my first play in October and found it difficult to approach line learning. this is fantastic info and makes total sense.

Almost every actor in the world (privately) talks about learning lines being difficult, and - since 'acting' is supposed to be enjoyable - the hard work which leads to 'knowing' them, is what successful actors secretly do! So it's great you're discovering this early, and it's the only thing needed to leave us 'free' on a stage or by a camera. John.

Cool appearance with Goddess Grande!

Your videos, John, are wonderful (all of ‘em) and I’m going to write you a note - separately. Soon. Thank you for everything you share- it is appreciated by so many people and probably more than you could have known. With best regards, Craig PS the phone yes.. I sense the tension but did you notice your voice tense up just a tad when that vehicles siren went off? NYC it’s common but you were aware of it right away! PPS: I’ve always loved that Mr and Mrs George Banks lived there on Cherry Tree Lane.. and of course he worked in the City of London (in a BANK)

Thanks for kind remarks. Yes, not sure why I've not got a knighthood, some prejudice about my age? If you've seen number 10 of my MadEnglishman.com videos you may, of course, change your mind. (A few people have taken the Fred Astaire advice seriously. Maybe that's the reason for no knighthood. An Oscar would be quite nice. Anyway, best back to you,, John Windsor-Cunningham

Yes, two lines for Ariana and the kind of pay I should get for my coaching, but that's life. No knighthood . No producer for my next show. But Ariana is fun. John

When doing an emotional monologue which involves crying, how can I make myself cry and tear up because whenever I think of a sad memory to make me cry it’s never enough to make me cry since I don’t really have a sad enough memory or thought to make me cry

@NewYorkActingCoach

There are 3 ways of your managing to do this, but without knowing you (and in this space) I can't say which you should use. But the best, and happiest way is not to 'force' yourself to try and cry, because that won't work! What counts is that you study the lines to understand exactly what the lines mean, not looking for distress. Find out what the character wants, how much, and - roughly - when. This serious study is what leading actors do, so - unless you are one of them - you're asking a lot of yourself to manage it (They get paid huge sums of money to study more deeply!) But study is the only way. I can't give you a free session, as I've done enough of that this year, but come to me or another coach to help you see what the lines are truly about, OR just see that this is not about some 'sad' memory'. I can tell you that. It is about understanding some truth in the lines. Or fake it and hide our eyes. John Windsor-Cunningham

It’s actually my Dream to be an actor and not pretend somethings happening but really witness that moment. I believe i need a bit more acting classes but yours are the best and I really want to thank you for that sir. Hope I break trough, any last tips?
