    Could you please give us an example of naturalism in contemporary theater - a play or film? I'm still not understanding this difference between this and realism. One famous playwright in particular swore that her drama was in no way naturalistic. She considered herself a realist. I see no difference. It was both. So today I am reading that naturalism is an extension of realism. The line is not very clear to me at all. It's rather frustrating. Please name a film or play that is considered naturalistic. Perhaps some of us will understand better if we see for ourselves.

    But what if you're acting with "bad" actors? Who are incapable of expressing them self that well yet, because they're beginners . Keeping in mind how my co actor acts using your techniques ,where it mainly depends on focusing on your co actor's expression etc., may not be that effective or work that well . Does anyone have some tip/advice ? Thank you in advance.

    Do NOT focus on trying to express the correct emotion. Instead, put your focus outward. ask yourself: 1. who am I talking to? 2. What do I see in them? “They are ___” (kind, embarrassed, angry at me, etc…) 3. How do I want to affect them? (What emotion do I want to guide them to?) Now, in the scene: 1. Listen to what they are actually saying, and really watch their behaviour. 2. Let their words and actions affect me. Remember that the answer to these questions will change throughout the scene as the conversation, relationship and emotions change.

    Kiera I love your videos. Love this technique. It’s similar to meisner. I Was wondering if you have a video about certain techniques for acting in scenes alone where there’s no monologues; simply driving to work, watching TV, getting home from work, etc. for example, I know that Utah Hagen talks about certain inner objects to identify beforehand.

    Dear Keira, Your approach is very realistic, as you are letting the emotions flow naturally, based on the other actor/actress emotions, which will give life to the whole scene, making it more natural and true. Many thanks from Egypt.

    You always give great advice 👏 ^^ Vocal range and diction are often overlooked. I currently think being present and focused is a big component of acting. Power of not being distracted on useless thoughts. Ability to focus on 5 senses being present in the moment and range of imagination evokes a response emotionally physically. Less is more. Also trauma release so the emotionally wounded parts of oneself doesn't have an emotional block. Subconscious emotional trauma blocks certain emotions to be expressed for fear of embarrassment. Your ego protecting yourself from past embarrassment can hinder emotional depth and range. It is just my opinion

    I struggle with the whole “cry on cue” thing. I find this harder on screen than stage. On stage you’ve got time to work up to the moment (“the moment before” is usually lived through first). However, often times on screen you’re just asked to be in a teary mess from “action”. In the examples you’ve given, the actor is able to work off the actions and dialogue of their scene partner, but what if there is no scene partner in the scene? What if the character is just in her private space processing the grief of something that happened that day eg. A funeral. How do you use this technique then? Haha - questions from a struggling working actor (glad to be working tho! Haha)- I actually have been given such a scene and the shoot is in two weeks! Thanks!
