 Re: Ten Acting Techniques That Work on The Job | |
In response to the eye contact questions, if you break it down like this, it might help. When you are making eye contact with someone, you are giving them your full attention. It's only when you bring your attention back to yourself that it trips us all up. And when you are talking to someone, you have a need. For example, you need them to do something, you need them to hear you, you need sympathy from them, etc. The stronger the need, and the more you really fill up with it and make it important, the less you will focus on yourself...because you need something from THEM. If you break the scene down, and you really fill up with what you want from the other person, then that will supercede your thoughts on yourself and how you look, because you will be too busy trying to get what you want, and you won't have any room in your head to think about yourself.
Hope that helps. |
