EP139 | Directing Actors (Guests Judith Weston and Lance Williams)

If you've ever referred to actors as "The Talent" you might want to pay attention. Directing is one of the most social jobs you can have, and yet so many people who want to direct neglect their relationship with their actors. They aren't unicorns dancing around in front of the camera. They're professionals there to do a job, and it takes more than just rehearsing lines to understand how to effectively direct them. Judith Weston wrote one of the best books about this exact experience entitled "Directing Actors." This book has become almost a bible for our Host Mike Pecci as he preps his first feature. It also provides some great insight for actors like long-time guest and friend of the show Lance Williams. Take literally all of the notes as Mike, Judith, and Lance flesh out the importance of effective communication, the benefits of action verbs, and the how to direct actors.Check out Judith Weston's Website:https://judithweston.com/Here are Judith's Books:https://judithweston.com/books-judith-westonAnd here's an audible link for "Directing Actors" for those like Mike who need to listen to a book:https://www.audible.com/pd/Directing-Actors-Audiobook/1974970523?qid=1573842343&sr=1-1&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=H0YPVV5CFZFARCZZ39EZ&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1Follow Lance Williams on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/golancego/Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessGrab a T-Shirt from www.movitees.com/ and use PROMO CODE: ILWP to get 10% off!Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: [email protected] Music by:betamaxxmusic.bandcamp.com/www.nightrider87.bandcamp.com/www.codeelektro.com/@orkladrive@jdog19971The Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Custom Comfort Mattress: customcomfortmattress.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.
