Thanks Doug, its good to get that feedback. Being a teacher for so many years I have been told I am too much of a teacher when giving notes with adult actors. I sometimes hit and miss the mark when it comes to giving notes. Your video Helps me see that their needs to be more positive feedback when giving notes. I will work on it. Thank you for your videos and your web page they are a blessing to us all. Happy new year.

[@AugmentedActor]

Sometimes certain people are under a lot of stress. No excuse for shitty behavior. No one is perfect. Your job is to roll with the punches as best you can, but you also don't need to let anyone walk over you. Try not to let their impatience or seemingly stern attitude throw you off your game. Just focus on what you need to do and make it happen to the best of your ability. Some people are just jerks. A red flag to note when offered to work with them in the future. Understand that sometimes that behavior comes from their pressure to get a shot done on time. But it's still not excuse to be walked over.

[@AugmentedActor]

I’d have to do a lot of research to find out this information myself.

[@TennantMary]

I call my act failing. It's messy. I throw it out and just let it go. It seems to do well.

[@AugmentedActor]

That's great!
