Acting: The Art Of Listening | Episode #1 with Will David Brooks

from The Soul of Connection · host Tressa Yonekawa

Most people think acting is about how you deliver a line, but professional producer and actor Will Brooks reveals it’s actually about something much deeper: listening.  In this episode, we dive into how the "muscle memory" of a stage actor can transform your real-world relationships. From the high stakes of a live theater performance to the "Yes, And" philosophy of improv, Will shares how to drop the script and start connecting for real.    In this episode, you’ll discover: -Why the best acting is actually 90% listening and reacting.    -How to use the "Yes, And" tool to stop conflict in its tracks.    -The secret to "covering" for others when they lose their way in a conversation.    -Why kindness is the ultimate competitive advantage in the creative industry.    Stop just waiting for your turn to speak.
