HOW TO ACT 'REALISTICALLY' (2nd video of 2 on this) Acting coach NYC

Film '2' of the free acting lesson from New York acting-coach John
Windsor-Cunningham, showing methods for an actor to be 'truthful' with difficult lines. John's videos advise on Shakespeare, how to learn lines quickly, and covers plays from Pinter to Oscar Wilde. All available on his website www.Windsor-Cunningham.com

[@Kinobambino]

He makes me want to act even though acting isn't my career path

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Well said! Keep out of acting if you can, the whole field is full of unemployment and delays, - for some anyway - but glad you had some fun with this, and being imaginative is good for all careers! John (www.Windsor-Cunningham.com)

[@annaibanez2499]

You don't have to act as a career. You can act just because you love it. As a hobby, if you will.

[@DeadestChannel]

Me too 😎

[@gloomydaysunshine8656]

@@annaibanez2499 exactly my thoughts

[@5eek3r0fknowl3dg3]

Everybody is an actor to some extent and every job interview is definitely an audition!

[@Filmgirlphilosopher]

So acting is more like meditation/visualization of a scene and entering yourself into it in order to draw out real authentic emotion, rather than pretending .

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Yes, it is, as you say, like that, but also involves lots and lots of study of scripts in order to understand them really fully. So it involves the intellect as well as the instinct. John Windsor-Cunningham

[@ibkristykat]

Precisely. You have to imagine you ARE that character. You are actually experiencing the film's scenes as this character. And you respond and react as the character.

[@itsgavinallen4655]

I started crying then laughing cause I realized it wasn’t real then started crying again cause I realized that story is true for someone somewhere and it made me actually sad

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Great! Sounds like the exercise worked for you. You can make up your own, of course. Best wishes, John Windsor-Cunningham

[@sheetal5664]

@Ephraim Winston me too

[@pedrosaulmx]

Did you. Did you really. I actually find that hard to read... it's so sad and yet very much funny. Need a Hanky?

[@usefulwebs]

When you actually feel sad the second time after realising it’s true for some other person. Isn’t it like sympathising for the character. But here you are that character. So basically your expressions are feeling sad for someone . Any ways to change on the imagination?so i can be the one feeling sad being the character ?

[@janvanbaast8960]

John Windsor-Cunningham omg you answered haha. i'm not really used to this so i'm kind of having a tiny fangirl moment. could i maybe ask you a question? i'm currently preparing for a video audition for a feature film (about this bipolar teenage girl that loses her mother because she kills herself) that i'm supposed to send it till dec 15. i got the script and i'm trying to read through it but i'm really afraid i'll mess it up and won't portray the emotions as the casting director expects. are there any tips you'd recommend me in order to not mess this up?

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Dont send messages on this please, use my email, as I'm getting over a thousand sometimes and miss them. I can't do private coaching til after December 17th a I'm in a play in New York, so cant help more than to say work night and day on the thing. Dont contact if you do want coaching til after December 17th please. and if not then just work harder than you ever have before, JOhn (email is on my website for the future, but not til after Dec.17th).)

Gosh I felt the tears on the way when the lady on the phone paused and said it was more serious than the arm

[@f0v3r.]

Even though I'm 7 years late with a comment, the feeling was really weird, like I felt it like in every part of my body, and I could hear my heartbeat (or feel it). Anyway, I felt this only once in my life and it was when my grandmother called me and said that my grandfather died. Obviously, I started crying when she called, but it was the same weird feeling, like creeps through my entire body or something like that and coldness, it became really cold in the room. Anyway, great video, definitely will watch more since I want to get into acting because I feel like it's really fun and possibly good career.

[@1thisiscole1]

Being that my older brother died in a car accident when I was 16 - all of this felt very eerie and close to me. Especially since I did in fact go to the hospital with dreadful anticipation and heard the news in a similar way from a male doctor. So this might have been a bit too good of a way to incite a legitimate reaction from me. I miss him. I can't believe it's already been 3 years.

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Good Heavens, I'm terribly sorry. Reality mixed with imagination can bring up terrible memories, and I'm afraid I don't think about that n advance of posing the video. But, if I may, I wish you well, and thank you for the way you recall your brother so vividly for us all in a sense. But enough. I'm stepping out of order here, I fear. Sincere best wishes, John (www.Windsor-Cunningham.com)

[@elliart7432]

I feel like I'm going to have a lot of trouble with acting because the only way I can be legitimately emotional about something that isn't real is if I'm surprised about it, or it wasn't what I was expecting. I failed The dead sibling exercise so hard because I predicted it ten seconds in.

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Just saw your response, and yes, of course, as you say - 'surprise' is a necessary part of all this, and the fact that you 'predicted' the end of the story stopped it working, but without coaching you I can only point you to the gentler video I have on the site called, I think, 'the most important acting lesson in the world' which may help you be calm and to let yourself be surprised, if I may say so.

[@elliart7432]

Oh, I actually saw that on my feed. I'll go check it out, thank you so much!

[@haileym444]

I expected it too, but still was able to internalize it enough to feel it. I guess that’s comparable to when people have read the script before they act. The element of surprise is only there for so long after reading the script or after the first take, right?

[@harlinaindra6679]

I did predicted it too because this really happened to me...with my relative sudden death..and in this exercise I reacted in exactly the same way I reacted on that fateful day...

[@linlaymedia8733]

Elliart 7 I think maybe it’s less about surprise and more about being in the moment. In real life if you are on the way to the hospital because someone has been in an accident your mind will jump ahead too and try to predict the outcome. You don’t really know until you are told what has happened. Hope that makes sense.

[@evarose3688]

He intrigues me. I love it. I'm more than inspired and suddenly I believe I can actually go through with my plan of becoming the best version of myself as an actress. This lesson was truly helpful, thank you.

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Thanks for kind words. Just push yourself to read and follow writers and directors and actors you like (we are told to call male and females "actors now) and hopefully you will find you will find that inspiration all over the place! John Windsor-Cunningham

[@robinreinhart8992]

He's the only man in the internet where I knew that he does these 'films' because he really wants help actors about acting realistically

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Well I think many young actors have an idea that acting can be a big deal, can be more than "just showing off" - ! - and even very experienced actors sometimes need to be pushed into seeing what is dull in their work, so, yes, I'm desperate for actors to get it 'right' if possible. It just takes a lot of WORK ! John Windsor-Cunningham

[@angelsrosa7659]

I felt soo upset tbh but i didnt cry, this is just because i was like in shock

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

"Shock" sounds like a terrific reaction you allowed yourself to have. I only hope it encouraged you to see (if you need to ) how strange the imagination can be. Best wishes anyway. John Windsor-Cunningham

All good wishes John

[@davidkentlondon]

I was thinking exactly the same thing as I’m a singer. There’s loads of songs that I’m obliged to sing that I don’t like or don’t like to sing.... but when I sing them (especially something where the character changes during the song or something happens) I have to try and keep remembering to let the character find that emotion as the song goes along. It’s bloody hard sometimes

[@checkmate5768]

I almost fell over laughing when the "Do you want to see how to kill someone realistically" come up on screen. I don't know why, but it was jarring. 😂

[@faarhaannkhan-kb3vh]

Shit this exercise is great , and same time is bad . I accepted the situation the moment he said ur sister died , my heart stopped for 3 sec and I started feeling dizzy . If ur in front of camera u might forget ur lines the character's gestures etc , Eventually it ll lead you to mental state . Acting should be in a enjoyable way. Again it's good exercise but becarefull folks , as a actor you should be able to go into the character and come out . With this exercise you will be stacked and ll have hard time to come out ,Acting is about impressions you have to pretend that ur someone else , don't accept that ur someone else , because u never can be someone else . Acting is a mental game, go with ur limits don't push it too hard some stuff can be done with feelings some with impressions . Good luck ppl

[@dcwatcher4644]

faarhaann khan that’s you way of acting but I think actually believing it is the way to do it

[@ashm003]

When you did the exercise, at the end I started crying. Really crying. Tears after tears after tears. I wasn't trying to, I just did. And for a few seconds--I believed that my family member actually died.

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Yes, it's simple, but the amount of study and work, the amount of detective-work that is needed on a script, the amount of time needed to work out WHAT the simplicity is needs experience. John Windsor-Cunningham

[@nobaddie-chan]

Can you please make more exercises? I just loved this!

[@manahilalhindi7457]

Thank you for putting it clearly that’s amazing I act with myself since I was 10 but only started having a career in acting at my 20s and all I can say is the hardest part is when directors tells you to have certain emotion because that won’t be real and believable and you want to do it your way or be free to make it fun and entertaining. Thanx again

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

You raise a huge, giant, important subject. Arguing with directors, in my own personal experience, resulted in my not being asked back to twenty big theatre companies - even after having successes with them, Directors hated me disagreeing with them, because I did not know how to show them I was right in my acting. Then - as you seem to be doing - I began to learn how to fill up a character realistically, and the arguments with directors stopped. If I'd learned at your age I might be a star by now, but that does not matter, of course; - what matters is that I did learn (as all actors need to) to understand what is behind lines and to act THAT truthfully. So keep working hard! John Windsor-Cunningham

[@GLCCreepyPasta]

Sitting there starting to cry not able to say anything and stay working..my family always told me i should be an actor or model but i was always too scared to even try it out even though i loved it all my life..because emotions are easy to come by. They might be fake but they're as real as a dream. Thank you for this awesome exercise.

[@truesurrealist]

This helped me realise when I'm on camera I'm trying to sing, rather than singing. Watching someone try is painful. 😅 Extremely helpful insight.

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Thanks for kind words. Singing is hard, and so easy to end with an attitude of "LISTEN to ME SING" and "WATCH ME!!" The heart, the soul, the clarity of 'true' singing requires so much practice (just as actors should never give up studying their lines even during a long run of a play). The fact that you know this should keep you pushing for the jobs that you want, and enjoying those moments when - like to lenses in a microscope - it all comes together so you can find it again! I never criticize and name any performers, but I'll just throw in the name of Ali Stoker in Oklahoma who just wanted to SING, so reached our hearts as well as her own! Who cares much that she was in a chair, the point is that she was one Broadwayist who just sang, and must have worked night and day at it. John.

Happy to help. Obviously I need to know what your main scenes/ lines are that are difficult, and that can't be done by e-mail, but I'm happy to work with you on Skype or if you're in NY in person.

Glad you got something out of it. Emotions are strange, but they're there! JOhn

7:20 things we give up, Amen! Just had to comment again, this whole video was brilliant Mr. Cunningham!

Brilliant! Never enjoyed watching and listening to a lesson this much! I sobbed through watching the video and losing my both characters. ACTUALLY! Thank you.
