Mental Toughness - Acting Tips with Acting Coach Howard Fine

“That person who can handle making a mistake gracefully… that’s who you want to work with.”
On set, mistakes happen constantly -- it’s just a fact of the business! Howard Fine describes acting as a game of mental toughness, and explains how imperative it is for actors to have the ability to forgive themselves, move on, and be in the next moment.

It’s actually interessting how the title says “toughness” and the actual thing that is essential howard is saying, is to be gentle and loving with yourself. ♥️

Thank you Howard. Acting is life. Journey through mistakes spreading positivity & joy.

Great stuff! Just bought "Fine on Acting." Looking forward to reading and learning from it. But bringing up the Falcons' disastrous loss in Super Bowl 51 was like putting lemon juice on a paper cut. We here in Atlanta still aren't over that one!

[@steffanieb174]

This is a great one! I want to remember this...we often get stuck in the mistake instead of remaining in that constant self love space. A keeper!

Mistakes are the best learning tools. As long as we learn from them and don't repeat.

The Best acting class I've ever taken was named "Free Mistake Project" by Francesca Viscardi Leonetti, in Rome, (Susan Batson Studios NY). Haward speaks the truth... he always does. Glad I met him and worked with him.
