    *Best video i've ever seen about acting lessons!! The student's performances were incredible. It's just i couldn't hear them and the audience very well.*

    I stumbled across this video by accident and started watching it as a way to procrastinate more than anything but now I'm really glad I did because even though I'm only about half an hour into the video I already feel like I can learn so much from the lecture! And I'm not even an acting student... I do theatre studies at uni and am currently very lost what I actually want to do with the things I've learned in the past few years and whilst watching this probably won't help me answer that question it does wonders in terms of boosting confidence and, if anything else, helped me to once again realise that working at a theatre one way or another is and always will be what I want to do with my life. So, thank you so much for uploading this!

    This is thoroughly insightful actually, & I find it integral that it’s a perennial accessory in concealing the art of acting regularly, I benefit from it profoundly.

    I paused the video just to write this! I am learning so much from this amazing man and his students. I'm inspired! I'm becoming insightful to unlimited but, within reason, to infinite possibilities. It's a good thing to play to and with the audience. I'm learning to play to the audience with my energy so they have a good time. I'm learning to bring the correct energy into a scene! I'm learning to be curious and how many questions I have for the director. Time to click >

    Thank you SOOOOO much for uploading this talk! I have taken two pages of notes and lots of ideas for my KS3 and KS4 students. I especially loved the focus on the eyes, and on the other person (the two go together I think) You see, I had to teach IGCSE Drama wearing covid masks...talk of challenge, effort and growth mindset! I think we should ALWAYS teach at first with nose-and-mouth masks, so that it all goes into the eyes. My students got As and A*s, and I think it is because the energy of their acting was in the heart (the eyes being the mirror thru which we see that belief). THANK YOU!

    I have tremendous compassion for these students. This teacher is very, very British. Notice that he critiques and criticizes the students and gives them very little praise. It's a terrible way to encourage bravery in anyone.

    Essentially, allowing movement while acting is a natural part of acting as one progresses?
