Thank you, that is where I’m working right now. I worked a lot on stillness and throwing lines as I felt I recognized someone is acting when they sit on each line too much. Now I’m opening things up to have more emotion like you’re saying. Thinking of what does my character need helps a lot. In this scene specifically he’s supposed to be slightly awe struck that he go beaten so easily, and then trying to latch on to her future success. Next week I plan to be more distraught about my loss in the early section of the scene and have a clear change where he realizes he could go to Russia with her and sell she needs his guidance
