Emotional Self-Stimulation Technique will amplify your talent.

Finding Your Own Emotions is Finding your own Talent

Learning to find your own talent is your responsibility as an Actor, Musician and Artist.

Using one of Simon’s many Emotions Lists will assist your finding which emotions resonate with you. Go down the emotions list and find 5-20 emotions that you have near instant memories about experiencing.

The KEY: When emotions are current or ready to be used in you, you will resonate with them. You may know the emotion on the list, but the weight of its intrigue is not as deep or interesting as another. So, work with the emotions that resonate the most within you.

Working with current emotions will help you learn the Emotional Self-Stimulation Technique!

Activating your own Emotions

Using your own emotions, and not someone else’s is another key!

Self-Activating your own emotions is the talent of acting. Most people can activate between 2-5 emotional ranges that they know well. Actors who work with Emotional Self-Stimulation Technique may have 25 – 50 Emotional Ranges that they are capable of creating that emotional spark.

It may take many 1-2 years to expand their emotional range to 25-50 emotions.

Let’s learn the ways to find your own emotions.

3 Main Steps

3. Interacting with Others, Dialogue or Independent Doings!

Determine the Emotional Range

Deciding what Emotional Range is intended for the scene work is key.

1. Match the Emotional Range you can access to the scenes that you do
2. If you need to choose a different scene, make that determination as early on as possible

If you determine an emotional range that you understand and can identify with, it will be easier for you to access. Determining an emotional range takes the ability to determine which emotions are most current within you.

Current Emotions are emotions that you can access remembrances of and understandings of.

The best emotional ranges you will be able to spend time with and have the freedom to express.

Activating that Emotional Range

When you self-activate your emotional range, you will need to literally spark your own emotional ignition!

The goal is not to be manipulative with the emotion, but honest with the emotion.

The goal of activation is to spark an internal desire to express a specific emotion. Once you spark that specific emotion you want to start the process of Interaction.

Activating the Emotion is deeper than thinking about a feeling.

A feeling is often fleeting, there one moment, not there the next. If you activate a feeling it may not show up in the interaction. So, during Emotional Self-Stimulation Technique invite in feelings, then be patient to allow the feelings to turn into deep feelings, then emotions.

Once the emotions within you are activated, they will tend to stay with you and close to you once activated.

Interacting with Others, Dialogue or Independent Doings!

Interacting with Others with an active emotion REQUIRES Receiving.

As early as possible with your activated emotion you want to receive the others emotion with your own activated spark!

Emotional Self-Stimulation technique requires you to be free with your emotional range to go in the direction of the scene work. The likely happening is that the emotional range will become part of the acting interaction.

Remember to be free to go in the direction of the experience of the interaction.

If you find the interaction is not in the desired Emotional Range and the emotion does not match the scene, then make adjustments to each Actor to find that desired range!
