Did an exercise with an #acting #coaching client that can highlight the immediacy and unpredictability in a scene, and we found a whole different pacing. Then we had a take where the tone shifted half way through in a new way. Good finding new stuff.

With an #acting #coaching client explored ways to do good work when tired. There are some techniques I have found can help. Got to see them find a new edge to the character's demands from the other character, and cool to see new discoveries even when sleepy.

With an #acting #coach client, we built a transition in the scene from technique alone, which then virtuously fed back to flesh out the character's inner state and its change. So nice to see them playing with different tools and making interesting, fun things.
