Letting The Text Do The Work: Minisode Series | Episode 078

Through over-the-top embellishments or large facial expressions, actors trap themselves when they don't trust the text. Rather, actors should lean heavily on the text and let it lead them through the script. Follow my work at https://patrick-mcandrew.com and @patrick.mcandrew
