How to Work on your Scene Work determines your own success.

An Activated Emotion

Emotions are deeper than Feelings. Deep Feelings will act more like emotions.

Emotions tend to stay within you once activated for acting.

An Activated Emotion is How to Work on your Scene Work. When you use Activated Emotions, you spark the inner awakening of that emotion within yourself.

Purposefully activating your emotions will enhance your acting scenes.

Learning the skills of Emotional Activation will help you have scene work with an emotional undercurrent. Emotional undercurrents assist the ebb and flow of the scene work.

Learning your own skills to put an activated emotion into your acting takes a bit of internal juggling within the Actor. Juggling that activated emotion into your acting requires receiving your acting partner, even when, you yourself have an active emotional life.

Experimenting with Different Emotional Ranges

Experimenting with emotional ranges is really fine advice how to work on your scene work.

Your talent is in the ability to find your own emotions. Your talent will not matter unless you can interact with your activated emotions.

Work to find the different ranges within yourself using one of the many Emotions Lists on this website. The more you experiment and succeed in finding different areas of yourself, the more parts you will be suited for in acting.

You can work on different ranges of emotions with different materials or the same piece of materials.

Different Emotions using the Same Acting Materials

After a casting director decides an interest in you during auditions, they often will ask you to do the same material with a different emotional current.

The reason why this is asked for is to test your own talent to find emotional ranges in your acting.

If a Director on film set needs you to make an adjustment with the scene work materials, they will need you to do so in real-time. This means that you as the Actor will adjust your own emotional range then redo the acting material and script.

When switching from one emotional current to another take the time to release the first before you activate a second emotion.
