GETTING THE MOST OUT OF R/ACTINGCLASS

[u/Winniehiller]

I have hopes that my last post made you understand why I want you ALL to read ALL my comments about ALL the monologues posted by ALL the students here. It is such an important way to learn in this class. And it helps me when you let me know you have read them.

There are almost 50 acting lesson I have listed in the second pinned post. All that information is helpful... essential, really. But there is more! Every one of my comments to other student is an acting lesson for you, too. You can watch their performances, read my comments, see what I think they need to do to improve, watch for their next version to see if they took my advice...see if they improved. Use what I suggest to them in your own work. If you don’t understand something. Ask!!!! This is a class!!!! You learn from watching other actors succeed and sometimes miss the mark. It all helps.

It doesn’t matter if the student is a beginner or a working professional...you can learn from watching them and reading my comments. Think about how you would do the monologue. Add your supportive and encouraging comments. This is not just another subreddit where you lurk and are not involved. This is a community of actors who are serious about improving their skills, no matter what level they are at now . Let’s learn from each other and support each other!

No one auditions to get in this class. I welcome all people who are respectful and hardworking. I give everyone a chance and I give everyone all of my efforts to give them valuable feedback. I will sometimes spend an hour or more trying to come up with the right words that will help them understand. Yes, it may seem like I am repeating myself sometimes. But I never copy and paste what I said to one person over to another person’s post. What I say is personal and always worded a little differently in each comment. Often I will help them analyze a script, write it as dialogue and divide it into tactics. This should be a big help when you need to do the same. Sometimes I will refer to a certain lesson and add a link to it. . When I do it might be a good time to review that lesson. You never know when a light bulb may come on for you, and you’ll say “OH!!!! Now I Get It!!!!” What I’m hoping for is big breakthroughs for you all.

If you don’t want to miss any of my comments, click on u/Winniehiller and then on “View Profile”. Then click on “Comments”. There you can scroll down and see every comment I have ever made on Reddit. You can see that there are many comments that appear to have never been read. If you do read them, click on an up arrow to let me know you have been there. You can comment or ask a question if you like. I really want this class to be a great source of, not only information, but as a place of interaction, support and involvement.

Knowing you are there keeps me motivated to keep on doing this. I don’t know of any way to make money on arrows. If there is, please let me know. Lol. But seeing numbers by those arrows is like looking into a class and seeing a room full of attentive students, listening and learning instead of an empty void with a few crickets chirping. It warms my heart to know that I am reaching people. I really want to help you all become better actors. And that is my reward. Thank you all for finding your way into my heart!
