Acting On Feelings can be incredible indications for Actors. How to act on your feelings is the craft of acting. Learning acting techniques that will work with your feelings will lead to realizing the power of deep feelings.

Feelings are Inclinations

Feelings are Improvisational ingredients for acting. Feelings are inclinations and can add spontaneity to your work.

Many Actors first find the gift of spontaneity in acting by working with their feelings. Often Actors will self-stimulate feelings in their Emotional Preparation work. Often the results of sparking Feelings in Emotional Preparation will lead to spontaneous happenings within scene work.

Feelings sometimes when activated in Emotional Preparation are fleeting and do not show up during the interaction of the acting work.

Knowing that feelings are inclinations and not Deep Feelings or Emotion is a learning process of actors, as they learn acting techniques. Acting On Feelings can connect your instincts to improve responsiveness but are still inclinations.

It is a natural learning lesson for Actors to realize the Limitations of Feelings as Actor Preparation Tools.

Limitations of Feelings

Feelings have limitations in creativity until they reach depth of emotion.

Learning the lessons of limitations of your own feelings is part of the learning process of the Actor. The Actor whom realizes the limitations of the inclinations of feelings, will work harder to find their own depth.

Finding the Emotions that connect to the feelings are more reliable acting tools.

The limitations of feelings to use for Emotional Preparations is a serious acting note for all Actors.

If you need to work within a tight emotional range for a specific range in scene work, isolate the specific emotion. Many Actors try to work with feelings with specific ranges for scene work, but they won’t activate you as deeply.

Although feelings add fun spontaneity to your acting you still require depth to achieve most scenes outcomes.

How Feelings can Go Deeper

Utilize an Activations Journal to find your deeper emotions.

The Activations Journal is a great way to start to record and brainstorm how to take your feelings deeper. You want to achieve depth with you by finding the emotion that is deeper beneath the feeling.

Brainstorm real-life recollections or imaginary conditions that would put you further into the emotion rather than staying within the feeling.

Taking yourself Deeper as an Actor will make your work richer and more in plight with having an imaginary sleigh ride of experience.

Waiting on Impulses

Being patient in acting is an actual acting technique. You wait to wait until the impulse actually resonates within you.

This waiting is patience in acting. By using patience in acting, you will achieve spontaneity in your acting work.

Yes, it is true. In order to achieve spontaneity, you require patience in acting!

Wait for the genuine impulse to resonate within you, then leap off that impulse. Realize your acting by being interactive and not reactive. Many Actors plan out reactions to do for their acting performance, but, when you use interaction, the reactions are automatic from you without the need of a planned performed reaction.

Emotions are Deeper than Feelings

It is a Solid Truth, that Emotions are Deeper than Feelings.

Feelings are incredible insights into your acting experience, but Emotions are enormous and powerful vehicles of expression.

When you work with the Activations Journal you can build up your own Emotional Preparation Techniques.
