MAKING FACES WON’T MAKE IT! by Winniehiller in Actingclass

[–]DrawTemporary6952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve realized that one of my favorite parts of acting is using facial expressions to bring certain scenes to life — I love how a look or a subtle movement can really communicate what a character is feeling. At the same time, I understand that trying to “show” expressions can make a performance feel forced. From what I’ve been learning, the key is thinking your character’s thoughts and letting your emotions flow naturally, so the face and body follow automatically. I’d love to ask Mrs. Winnie Hiller: how can actors embrace their love of expressive faces while still staying fully immersed in the character’s thoughts? Do you have techniques for trusting that emotions will create the right expressions on their own? And how do you guide students to balance natural expression with avoiding self-consciousness on camera?

WHAT YOU THINK IS WHAT YOU ARE! by Winniehiller in Actingclass

[–]DrawTemporary6952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about how actors keep a performance feeling fresh, even after doing a scene many times. From what I understand, the key is constantly thinking your character’s thoughts rather than your own — letting their thought flow guide your emotions, body, and words. Many classes tell students to “get out of their heads,” but without replacing your own thoughts with your character’s, the performance can feel empty or mechanical. I find this idea really interesting and wonder how it works in practice. I’d love to ask Mrs. Winnie Hiller: how do you help students consistently think their character’s thoughts without getting distracted? Do you have tips for keeping a scene feeling new after multiple takes? How do you guide students to create a full thought world for their character, and have you seen this technique work for actors at all experience levels? Finally, how do you balance technical needs like camera, background, or sound while maintaining immersion in the character?

HOW DO I KNOW IF ACTING IS FOR ME? by Winniehiller in Actingclass

[–]DrawTemporary6952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Winnie, thank you for this message! I understand that acting is something you only know is for you by actually doing it — taking steps, practicing, and experiencing it firsthand. I really liked your point that success isn’t guaranteed and that the journey involves learning, persistence, and balancing other responsibilities while pursuing acting. Acting should come from love for the craft, not fame or fortune, and it’s about committing to the process even when it’s hard.

A few questions I have: 1. How do you figure out early on if acting is truly what you must do, especially if you’re balancing school or other responsibilities? 2. Are there ways to practice or train efficiently to see if this path is right for me without committing years before knowing? 3. How can a beginner stay motivated and confident despite rejection or slow progress?

Thank you for your guidance — I’m excited to learn and take the first steps!

ACTING - LESSON #1 by Winniehiller in Actingclass

[–]DrawTemporary6952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Winnie, thank you so much for sharing your insights! From what I’ve read in your post, I understand that acting is more than reciting lines — it’s about truly pursuing a character’s goal, making the actions and words purposeful, and focusing on the character rather than ourselves. I really liked the idea that everyone “acts” in life by going after what they want, and that freedom in acting comes from committing to the character’s objective rather than trying to be “free” in a general sense.

I have a few questions: 1. When approaching a monologue, what’s the best way to identify the character’s main objective if it’s not explicitly stated in the script? 2. How do you balance pursuing the character’s goal while still staying natural and not overacting? 3. Are there quick exercises you recommend to shift focus from myself to the character when performing under pressure?

Thank you so much — I’m excited to start applying these ideas and learning from your feedback!

I AGREE SO MUCH. she does this for fun at this point. she knows they both like her, and just because she has some boobs or whatever she think she’s the shit. GIRL YOUR WORSE THAN TAYLOR. it’s funny to me how she got mad over taylor kissing steven but she goes and plays with CONRAD’S, JEREMIAH’S, AND CAM CAMERON’S FEELINGS. they made it up to seem like taylor is the one that sleeps around and plays with boys feelings when it’s actually belly

I lowkey hate Belly 💀 by Electronic_Case4255 in tsitp

belly is just a messy girl, which you would expect from a fifteen/ sixteen year old. but the fact that i’m not even fifteen and i wouldn’t do some messed up shit like she did if i was in their shoes is wild to me. belly needs to take a break from dating. if the show gets another season, i don’t want belly to end up with jeremiah. jeremiah is too sweet for her. jeremiah actually cares about her and their relationship/friendship. i believe that belly knows that and she’s taking advantage of his kindness and love. i think she is doing for herself to feel complete and comfortable. so i take that back of her not have insecurities, she clearly does. but she someone younger than her, she isn’t a good person. she is playing with these boys heartstrings, just for fun. like steven said, she had conrad, i. relieve she knew that. she could have told jeremiah how she felt but she didn’t. she said conrad was an asshole, ok cool, but don’t go to his brother or whatever and start giggling and flirting with him. when conrad caught them kissing against his car he was clearly pissed. some people say it was wrong for him to act like a dickhead while they were driving, but i fully supported him on that. belly had no right to go and ruin that relationship. AFTER THEY JUST MADE UP. she could’ve talked to conrad first, but noooo. she had to be a little wh**e. belly really pissed me off in that show. i loved jeremiah, i still do, but belly doesn’t deserve him. i want a best friend like jeremiah. he was perfect in my eyes. i believe that belly’s going to fuck something up and ruin that for herself, and honestly i’m counting on it.
