TIPS/TRICKS

How do I stand out as an actor? How do I break down a script? How do I audition on zoom?

It starts with a premise and the premise is the following: the goal is to be authentic. It’s the real and true human choices and behaviors that captivate, not the compulsion to stand out. The core philosophy of LB Acting Studio is: Learning how to do consciously what we are doing unconsciously anyway. Our techniques are derived from the science of the brain – meaning you have everything you need innately within you. Check out these simple, cognitive tips and tricks from renowned acting coach Lewis Baumander.

MINDSET

Mindset and the “Power of Thought” is everything. The ability to Paradigm shift (altering your usual way of thinking) is a powerful tool that actors can use to discover deeper and more intricate characters from within themselves. Trying to relate isn’t going to get you past the observational. An actor who is trying to relate is simulating it; An actor engaging in empathy is sharing it. By shifting perspectives and challenging your own biases you can create characters that transcend your personal experiences and help you connect to a wider audience. See below for some techniques and methods of thought to highlight how paradigm shifting can be used to develop character, understand relationships, and how to commit to powerful and emotional stories empathetically.
