Listen to part of a lecture in an acting class

2. When I was launching my acting career I auditioned for this talent agent.Someone, you know, who helps actors find work.
3. For the audition I used a powerful monologue about a man who lived in the same small town his whole life butdreams of seeing the world. (细节部分,不要记)
4. When I finished, the agent said, “that’s not acting, that’s just you being you.” (核心:not acting)
5. “Just you being you.” I felt like crawling under a rock. (核心:听出教授的态度: crawl under a rock = embarrassed)
6. But years later it dawned on me, this was the greatest compliment I could have gotten, even from an agent that was too na?veto represent me. (核心:需要听出转折:compliment)
7. My quote “mistake” was my natural acting.
8. But this is the goal for all actors, portraying another person while still appearing natural.
9. I never want my audience tothink, “hey, he’s acting really well.”Better that they forget that I’m acting at all.
10. Appearing natural is hard.
11. You must prepare for your role by knowing your character thoroughly and then using your intuition to make the most interesting or surprising choices. Choices that entertain your audience, while maintaining your character’s integrity. (7-11句都在讲一件事,听懂核心即可,不用重复记笔记:自然表演的重要性即文章前半部分的主旨)

16. If the delivery is too subtle, the audiencewon’t even see the nuances.
17.Vocally,well you won’t always be wearing a microphone.
18.But in film you don’t need to project your voice or use your whole bodyto look natural.
19.The camera might bejust a few meters from your face and your face could be ten meters tall on themovie screen.
20.So you don’t have to domuch to make a big impact.
21.The same holds true for the microphone.
