acting class notes

When there is a morality debate in a play/scene: clarify what the debate is actually about. Don't let emotion be the prime "engine" of the scene-- focus on the nature of the argument.

Age is a sense of groundedness - especially when playing significantly older than myself. Can I find ways to let my real age lend itself to an older character? 

Bring a sense of self to characters and transform it.
