Acting is not about talking, it is about behaving.

Work mainly with an emotion, because without emotion acting is worth nothing.

An actor's job is storytelling.

Actors must learn to understand screenplays. If they don't know what the story is about, their acting is trash.

Acting is having the emotion that best fits the scene. An actor can not try to play effects of scene. If actor works without emotion, it will look like acting. An actor can't lie or do it without passion. It is about true feelings and true objectives: do not to be artificial, but be real.

Acting is being other people. It has nothing to do with you -- the actor is not the character.

If the behavior is correct, even a deaf audience will understand it.

feel::::::::::emotion
think:::::::objective

Actor must give up self-thoughts.

Audience doesn't care about the actor's problems, only the character.

An actor must turn their body over to the character, if they can't do that, they can't act.

An actor must be simple, honest, and vocal: you will learn how to do it and then you will trust that you know how to do it and leave it alone and just do it.

hope that i helped!

Try actually talking to the person you are reading the lines to. Think about how you would say the lines if you were in a regular conversation. It makes it way more believable!! GOOD LUCK!!
