Viola Davis on Acting

[@muradbyunus]

She's just a force of nature. Her success is so well deserved.

[@CharlieMunn]

She's pure fire.

[@amyhuggins7966]

jonahaimz She’s an icon! She deserves SO many accolades! Just listen to her intelligence. She’s a genius and I absolutely LOVE HER!!

[@LionessStudios]

I got to be on set with her. She's an absolute legend.

[@kingzgraphicz1634]

Big fax

[@SpencerLevey]

One of the best actors working today. She just makes everything feels so real.

[@CharlieMunn]

100% agreed.

[@babykay2493]

She is wonderful. So refreshing to have such a powerful female working in film. She needs more leading roles though... its frustrating she tends to only get side parts.

[@tamedcreme9846]

SpencerLevey i was an extra on HTGAWM and I must say.. it's exactly what you see one the screen. I was so shocked.. everyone was good.. but with her.. I felt like I was at home watching television 😹 Glad I found this.

[@alexaw.4905]

She is amazing!!

[@thefamliytalks8843]

SpencerLevey exactly oscar winner nominee o

[@Ang417]

[@nkwari]

Amen

[@NancyArnstein]

[@aydenanthony6508]

She is the most captivating actress, honestly she creates a reality in her acting like no one can.

[@Cinematic_Jesse]

Being out of control is the best way to be in control 🤔 Thank you Viola, you truly are one of the best.

[@CharlieMunn]

It's the magic trick. The work is easy, you have to let go.

[@christopherlewis7115]

I don't think there isn't anything Viola can't do. I also liked when she named Meryl and Cicely as her influences

[@CharlieMunn]

She's my influence. Pure fire.

[@lalagonegaga]

I did not blink for seven minutes and twenty five seconds.

[@no-one00]

I did

[@pranknation9589]

Viola's a Meisner actor and I love it!

[@LionessStudios]

yes

[@dirrtyrulez]

Give her all the awards

[@justisburris718]

Taking notes. She is literally my favorite. I will try my hardest to live up to this 🙏🏾🎞

[@wolfvision5154]

Taking notes for hamlet at school because you are not an actor.

[@ChristinaAsher]

Brilliant. You are so right. Be a generous actor. Never tell another actor how to act. Leave yourself alone. Great advice.

[@LionessStudios]

it's one of the first things I learned. Never tall another actor what to do unless they ask you.

[@alicesurtv]

This woman is always so vulnerable, I love her. Even here, she was about to cry or had already cried before this.

[@lindseyann6562]

I love Viola Davis. I lived near where she grew up in RI for many years so I feel pride for her being from the area. Shes just amazing. A great actress and a kind person

[@pablozky21]

Viola Davis gives me strength and insight. Love her!

[@marclawrence7844]

One of our greatest living actors. So believable.

[@synthiasimms4608]

The greatest in many ppl opinions!

[@danielelolli3386]

She's an incredible woman and as an actor

[@hopematsitsa9317]

I am always so in love with her smile. Beautifully black.

[@minyv23]

I LOVE when an actor is generous with their process. Thank you for sharing the wisdom

[@EvieMatavelli]

Best tips! Thank you for the video. I agree whatever it's given to you as an actor you got to support your scene partner . Some people never learn that - I see that in improvisation classes often. You have to accept and keep the tone and energy balanced. Some people want to be louder or they cut you off short the best improv is when you keep it balanced

[@CharlieMunn]

Give to your partner. It's so key. It's what make scenes good. You're so on the nose.

[@LionessStudios]

If you are looking for more acting tips, I've started re-teaching what I learned in film school on my channel

[@FuzzySoulTiger]

This is truly great advice because I used to do all my preparations at home but find out my interactions with other actors, once on stage, completely changes. This is the one business where anything goes. You have to go with the flow.

[@evelunn8410]

great respect for this woman and her dedication to and understanding of her craft....you are an inspiration, Viola

[@tee7722]

She is incredible.

[@CharlieMunn]

Totally. Just an inspiration to actors everywhere.

[@LionessStudios]

so amazing

[@CrowIIII]

Her approach to collaborating requires genius, and she brings it.

[@AmandaMHunt]

I need a one on one class with Ms Davis because every interview I watch I have to take notes!

[@Snooze_Addict]

Such an amazing actress! I love her!

[@CharlieMunn]

Just the best.

[@juicyr]

"The actors that should get the awards are the ones that make bad writing look good" 😂

[@kathleen4376]

Brilliant truth

[@NaticzkaKaminskaHenryDolphin]

And it's a FACT.

[@NoteFromSELF]

I don't get the 😂. Viola was serious.

[@juicyr]

@@NoteFromSELF because she said it like it is that's why I 😂

[@ShavonCastella]

Her michelle obama acting was horrid. Why was she balling her lips up😂😂😂😂

[@CharlieMunn]

The realest. Just fire.

[@outinsider]

This was just what I needed to watch today. Viola Davis inspires me, so much so I think I wrote a character and picturing her play it.

[@Cc-is3is]

she is so amazing and talented definitely deserved the Oscar she got love her

[@damarisisales]

Thank you for your advice Mrs. Davis

[@jaimarabeals3280]

[@nard-o]

I’m gonna rewatch this a few times.

[@DarleneSterling]

This is so eye opening. I respect her very much!

[@AI-AITUM]

Wisdom at its finest 🙌🏾 Ms Davis

[@angelmatos9143]

Viola can ‘stare down’ any actor in any scene today.

[@LionessStudios]

it's true her eyes are so telling, so compelling

[@jmtheboat]

Powerful words from a master.

[@lehuy4278]

I love her so much

[@corgisrule21]

Her, Kathy Bates, and Meryl Streep are my queens

[@joubert350]

Everything she just said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@anthonycoyles1965]

Adds so much gravity to every role ...❤️

[@marcuscameron8274]

The technique she seems to be using is Practical Aesthetics developed by David Mamet. It's perfect

[@vhaswings]

Oh my gosh - Thank you - This is so true!

[@KelleyCodyGrimm]

I love all of this - also journaling as the character helps as well - before the event in the script and then after the event - and see what the character has gone through internally.

[@kathleen4376]

I always enjoy and learn from Viola Davis’s interviews , stories and insight into her acting approach or process.

[@NueNues]

Thank you! Duly noted, copied, resonated, digested and will be implemented!

[@LionessStudios]

are you looking for acting tips? I've started sharing everything I learned in film school on my channel if that would help you?!

[@NueNues]

Lioness Studios - Yes, always a sponge to learning, thank you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@truefilm1556]

Definitely one of the very best actresses ever.

[@na3496]

She is a sage

[@CharlieMunn]

So wise. She know's what to do and how to make.

[@75smurfette]

Fabulous advice Ms. Davis!

[@tfaddict8254]

This is PRICELESS!

[@halakassab1996]

I Love her,she is amazing 😍

[@brandonclark8987]

The given circumstances are such a nice ploy to the reality of the inner existence becoming an outer truth. I love finding small trinkets of hints to further my character analysis when I have some detailed words to embody the actions surrounding character objective. So new to this screen acting world, but I'm glad I went to theatre school too.

[@johannesbols57]

I'm overdosing on your word salad.

[@ymest269daniel9]

I love her so much!

[@angelbishop9574]

This was great insight!

[@diabloakland]

I’m Meisner trained and it sounds like a lot of what we learned. We prepare and marinate on our choices but we also go off our partner with what they give us/how they move us

[@tobeeawosika7888]

Viola is amazing! love love love her

[@Iksvomid]

Greatest Viola I've ever seen. Beats any violin any time of day.

[@kiawilliams7384]

What a goat❤️❤️👏🏾

[@katieh6549]

so helpful

[@6rban100k]

Viola is the only person who deserve to buy a ticket and fly to her just to hug her and take a selfie with I love this human being 💕

[@KuyaManzano]

What should I use youtube as an actor for? Showcase my jobs? Entertain people with special new videos? Should I have a different channel for each thing? ty :-)

[@patricktilsley9164]

She’s my favourite actress!!!

[@_assweetashoney]

She makes me want to become an actress 😩😩🤞🏾

[@amyhuggins7966]

VIOLA IS A LEGEND AND AN ICON! A WOMAN I GREATLY ADMIRE. SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST ACTORS I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY 46 YEARS. Challenge that statement. I dare you.

[@malin434]

[@oscaralextv]

This was a wonderful acting MasterClass

[@arfenmalik1717]

Acting requires some crazy amount of concentration Learning those lines and rehearsing is just crazy and that was something my mind never wanted to do. Am an accounting student and i would rather study that than read a script but i still wonner act

[@Jen-jo5qu]

Watching a genius and an artist speak.

[@bleepbloop9123]

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

This might be her year to finally get her Oscar. Let's hoping third- (or is it fourth?) times nominated is the charm?

[@phuckducky266]
