A super short acting course | Esther de Koning | TEDxMaastricht

[@abdul2009]

Her confidence and playfulness is inspiring!

[@XeLYoutube]

very, the teaching is hiden in there, Well make it worse :D

[@iamgr80k]

When something sounds too good to be true I always read the comments first

[@donloyal]

Why does her personality remind me of Dori?

[@gashugicedron2724]

1. She sounds like Ellen, who plays the voice. 2. The way she speaks is like Dory.

[@serronyx7456]

Omg yes

[@addicchun]

hahahaha

[@zakscott6884]

OMG! haha

[@corgisrule21]

I don’t hear it, but I love Dory 😁

[@AkmaWel]

she is pro of public speaking, super herself and chill

[@nightingale2505]

This is was really cool and funny !! What she was basically trying to say is to take your character over the top. Make it worse. Make it funnier. Make it more dramatic. Whatever it is go for more.

[@arianas8154]

1. Build the character 2. Situation 3. Make it worse 4. Other character 5. Make it worse ... cliffhanger*

[@kapilellawadi]

Add conflict

[@RonnieNimer]

The room in a nutshell

[@henryanderson6752]

*Did you mean* Every Shakespeare play?

[@princealmighty5391]

Acting comes from life experiences

[@AMANGUPTA-rw7oz]

Guys she taught a lot in few minutes...if u watch this video solely will pretty concentration ....u might get what things she has taught...I wish I could learn more...

[@imran_rasoli]

Mom:Our son is dead Dad calmly: Oh okay that's a problem.

[@emmachrisavramiea2727]

"So you're now my husband. That went quick!" hahha, I had to think if she actually had used Quick the family name in there with double meaning 😂

[@ReviewsWithAL_]

Her energy is incredible aha I would love to meet this woman

[@quecle4776]

what a dead crowd lol

[@chieftonga]

Most of them probably don’t speak English

[@Eqvilim875]

She’s also not funny at all that might be a factor

[@mariaaladi8292]

XD

[@the_imm8rtal_1]

She should have started with “Gooooooood morning Vietnam!”

[@nashwakamal4730]

I love this woman more than anything else on earth

[@c.t.d.r.a.8295]

You love aliens more? No! For me she is like God herself acting her whole human persona

[@c.t.d.r.a.8295]

You love aliens more? No! For me she is like God herself acting her whole human persona

[@kaimuello7807]

All the negative comments here though- I think she was great

[@CamyTV_]

she's so good i would love to take acting classes with her hahaha

[@rutujabhosale8001]

She has a magnificent confidence..wao✌

[@DivaCam]

Not much of an ACTING course. The basics of how a story is constructed maybe, usefull for improv.. maybe..

[@milahh6422]

read the title

[@DivaCam]

mila Hel hel I did, it's kind of exactly why I commented.

[@mindfulidentitydesign]

I thought exactly the same but then improv it's still acting so..I gues is fine

[@puurrrr]

*Yea. her acting is very exagerating, i was hoping to see some serious method ating here. But she was funny. She should be a comedian.*

[@BillieJolene1]

no it would NOT be useful for improv. That's what I do and she would be a nightmare to work with.

[@kmatson07]

It's never a good idea to do a speedball before going on stage.... that's the only lesson I gleaned from this video.

[@flopilla2012]

"He's de-" Lmao I love her!

[@LethoHali]

🤣

[@coffeesugar.4346]

We finally got to see TED

[@TheUglyMan]

Her voice is trembling, that's pretty cool

[@maarinb2301]

I guess even professional public speakers and actors get nervous. Or maybe that’s just how she talks.

[@LadderProductionFilms]

I'd cast Esther de Koning for any role!

[@iasminaiabloncic316]

❤ thanks!

[@dillanesolo8714]

She's giving us the basic structure to character understanding and story comprehension great talk!

[@nashwakamal4730]

Best ted talk❤

[@yasaswy]

Nice.. an actor should push the character to the extreme.. I guess that's what shez trying to say..

[@matendegeofrey2433]

Yash hi

[@TheSchmuck2]

Yes because no one has ever invented the word "overacting"

[@genevievevizmanos480]

This is amazing! 😂❤️

[@AyadrixBF]

Still waiting for her to say this was a prank

[@paulstrahnickiy1724]

Ayad King haha 😆

[@Sandy-rh5qd]

Thank you,you are amazing👍🤗

[@Kaythecoconut5]

When she said I don’t need a scerion she sounded like ELLEN!!!

[@mrpancakesandbutter6171]

Ok shes amazing

[@actingschoolxxl9564]

It's so wunderful! Interesting and funny! Thanx!

[@FS-ml9ce]

[@madiba4ever210]

Melodrama- love it!!!

[@ericosmostech4903]

[@lestotie]

She so amazing

[@billybobdeniro]

I would love to work with her.

[@Cam-ot8tl]

So y'all just going to pretend y'all didn't see the girl picking her nose at 12:30?

[@dlnagaraj]

Wow... wonderful performance

[@uruncle857]

I love her

[@ubuntumike5794]

🤔 so Um did anyone get anything out of this

[@joshuabonwick6420]

I laughed a little I guess

[@puurrrr]

*haha*

[@puurrrr]

*yea maybe for those who want to become comedians or clowns.*

[@pinkykitty007]

She is exhausting me and im only 3 mins in

[@lonexmo1605]

That I should be more comfortable in front of crowds

[@iluankit]

Improvising is the key & That worse is so Useful😅👌🎭❤️👍

[@auntaisfaulkner8379]

Crowd is super dead and you can tell they have never taken an acting course in their life.

[@biswajeetdas725]

It's really funny. I never thought there could be a female version of Jim Carrey. 👏👏👏

[@davyprimm365]

i had to stop the video i was dying

[@wallaceloureirof7549]

She resembles Pearl from Steven Universe

[@JudiChristopher]

"Brava Darling... Brava"

[@crystalbrooks2684]

She should be a comedian

[@emmyjur]

Does this apply to filmacting as well? Cause it seems a bit over the top for that.. on stage i can see why, the bigger the better, but on camera not so sure?

[@tarawalzer]

1:19 I thought she said "a beer". was fully like yes I need to get tipsy before my 8 am acting class and I'm going with that still

[@orangutang6667]

Funny. Actor should build its character own path.

[@alondraprudhomme]

I love your accent!!

[@tonyadhikari2727]

I feel like she is gonna eat someone after that show

[@CharlesMatheny]

All the famous acting teachers are gone: Stella Adler, Lee Strasberg, Sanford Meisner, Uta Hagen, Wynn Handman - how do find someone now?

[@christviekadiya]

Making things worse? Finally something I'm good at.

[@zackreed6010]

This was not structured at all. I think there was a basic idea but it was very muddled by her uncomfortable stage presence. I feel like she just got really nervous and forced her way through it.

[@selenaofficial7833]

i couldn't find her on social media

[@amymarreiros1398]

This is helarious 😂

[@bipulsingh7982]

Very nice

[@dxc9559]

10:25 he is siddhart nigam isn't he?

[@dikeshlodhirajput1243]

I am very inspired your speach so very thankful

[@mohammedaasri2774]

[@LethoHali]

🤣🤣🤣😂 loved it! 😅

[@vickykaushik8764]

My brain couldn't process it !

[@shamrock6146]

Tbh she reminds me of my English Teacher.

[@saralalaya8549]

Oh , she's amazing , who's she , I mean her name?

[@greatatwatido]

great comedian performance

[@indirabadal7107]

She’s super Italian

[@phoenixrising5613]

The that’s a problem got me

[@ricr7289]

Is the man in the audience at 7m05s bleeding from his nose?

[@therealjake]

What am I missing

[@arturogiraldo_actor]

Excelent!

[@digitalshorts1079]

So this is how they spend time between shows in tedx..hmm....interesting...

[@stylerteam9066]

Interesting

[@TheSt0neCold]

Styler Team i was thinking of some other words...

[@RonnieNimer]

The room in a nutshell

Embrassing moments...This is exactly what "cringe" means.

[@slipkorn420]

then 'acting' isn't for you kind sir

[@ntenesaca5846]

I didn’t understand.. Doesn’t seem like much acting to me

[@kaycee8323]

What was the "typical german name"?? I couldn't even understand it lol and I'm german

[@timelessone23]

Lijkt me dat Hans Teeuwen dat principe ook toepast, "make it worse".

[@Larrythebassman]

The greatest👍🎬✨💥🔥🚀🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🔥[[[💥WOW💥]]]

[@mediaaddict3997]

Why does the guy have to be an abusive drunk though.....

[@thevibe7083]

Media Addict yea well the woman was a superficial clutz...

[@puurrrr]

*i knew some men wouldn't like it* 😂 🤣

[@Rainythm]

Because you gotta make it worse

[@mediaaddict3997]

@@puurrrr Did not say I did not like it

[@nasan5461]

That's drama😂

[@marcelusdarcy]

bottom left blue sweater guys expression at 4:15 lmao

[@doreinpaulemmanuel3614]

[@Soren_Skarsgard]

The first thing you need to do is...?? A BEER!!! .. of course!

[@gauravarora8556]

[@sebozimonyi8565]

Why is the crowd so freaking numb? Do they have any sense of humour? FRafeeajfiajfieaofmiea

[@bluemoon9412]

either shes trying to be a really bad acting coach, or she attempting to be a comedian

[@MelodicNoise23]

this... taught me nothing useful

[@jasonday1451]

In het nederlands zou het mij beter helpen.

[@imakefilms123]

Tough crowd.
