What is Real Craft in acting?

Real Craft involves gaining the ability with Feelings vs Emotion to discern the difference.

It is key to balance yourself and ebb and flow between relaxation and restriction as Feelings turn from fleeting passers-by to Emotional Depth.

Many times, editors can help the Actor to look like things work even when actors have and use techniques of fleeting feelings, but it is not the ideal. Working with and using emotion in acting is far more solid.

Feelings vs Emotions is an incredible acting study for both Actors and Musicians.
