Podcasts about acting teacher

Dr. Julian Waite has been one of the most influential people in my life.  He was the supervisor for my Master's Thesis. His thoughts on documentation have resonated with me years later. Not only is he extremely intelligent, he is also a REMARKABLE performer. I have seen him perform several times - in fact he was in one of my improv shows. One of my FAVORITE jokes he made during that show was he was giving a scene notes. And he instructed them to hit the high notes of the scene, and the low notes of the scene. After profoundly hitting the importance of the high and low notes ... he then also said they needed to hit the middle notes. Lol, so everything?!?! It was so funny. It was like the perfect vague and pretentious note a bad acting teacher would give you.  Hilarious. I hope you enjoy this interview.  I could talk to him for hours. From the very first question, he takes off. Dr Waite takes the concepts of identity and explodes it out.   So honored to have him in my life.

“I teach people to be themselves,” says legendary acting coach Howard Fine, founder of Howard Fine Acting Studio and author of the newly revised “Fine on Acting: A Vision of the Craft.” Howard joins the Dance Dad podcast to discuss how acting puts us in touch with who we really are and, when we approach it with pure intentions and do the necessary work, can set us free.    On today's episode, he'll discuss what it takes to be a great teacher and why many fail and give the rest a bad reputation. He'll discuss the two techniques that divide the acting community, and how to be a supportive parent versus a stage mom.   Howard recalls his appearance on Dance Moms and what his session with Chloe Lucasiak taught him about the importance of authenticity. In an industry that is changing to become more inclusive and diverse, being oneself is more important than ever. He also shares the stunning story of his family's escape from Poland during the Holocaust, their time spent living in Shanghai and his early days as an artistic, intellectual kid in a family of athletes. He'll share why athletes–including dancers– often make the best actors.   Join today's discussion to learn what it was like helping Austin Butler, Golden Globe winner,  prepare to play Elvis, the tradition Diana Ross started that Howard's students still practice today, and how our inspirations and aspirations change over time.   Quotes “One more crazy, eccentric, neurotic, acting coach—that's not the profession. It really makes the profession seem silly, and it's not. Teaching, first of all, is a calling, and the teaching of the craft of acting is a privilege to me.” (7:19 | Howard Fine) “If someone cannot get past their own ego to help someone else—and you get this with actors who sometimes failed at that career, and then are not teaching because they're called to teach, they're teaching because they're trying to make money to survive—they want to get up and demonstrate for the actor rather than encourage the actors instincts, and sometimes are jealous of the actor, jealous of the artist, and that comes out in the critiques.” (12:04 | Howard Fine) “We as human beings are the sum total of our experiences, and so we all have experiences in our lives to draw from. And that's powerful. It's the one reason—since we've been talking about age—in athletics, an athlete is old by 30. However, in what we do, you have the potential to get better and better with time. Akin to a fine wine, we get to improve with age because real experience deepens us, life deepens us.” (16:41 | Howard Fine)  “That's one of the hardest things about acting is there's no separation. You're not turning in the book report and somebody's commenting on that, they're looking at you and they're looking at everything that is you. That's why actors have to develop themselves on so many levels—intellectually, physically, all forms of dance, yoga, martial arts, the Alexander technique.” (20:50 | Howard Fine)  “Athletes tend to do very well with me—and I consider dancers athletes—because athletes will stick to something when it's hard. Athletes will practice, they have work ethic. If you're a lazy dancer, you can't get very far. You have to have a work ethic. And so, all of those things are absolutely pertinent to acting.” (40:18 | Howard Fine) “I ask students to see me as a colleague who is there to help them improve their work, not as a guru they're trying to impress.”  (50:26 | Howard Fine)   Links Connect with Howard Fine: howardfine.com www.instagram.com/howardfinestudio Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dancedadwithjohncorella/ John on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/john_corella/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

We all know individuals who are good at a skill without even trying. They can write, play a sport, or play an instrument with seemingly no effort. Is it possible that some people are just more talented than others? If so, does that apply to acting as well?  Today, acting Coach Matthew Harrison and I delve deep into the concept of talent; where the idea came from and why society is obsessed by it. We discuss why Mozart had no talent and how some actors can give incredible performances without any prior training.

Our voice is the most intimate part of human expression. It is formed over decades of parenting, socialization, and trauma. Our physical alignment and muscle tension create the speaking pattern that we function from day to day.

This week Charlie talks to Midori Nakamura, a designated Linklater teacher who runs the Voice & Speech program at the Maggie Flanigan Studio.

At their best, acting teachers have the ability to create a healthy space in which actors can engage in the consistent practice of their art, deepening their awareness and understanding of themselves and the world. And also, acting teachers have a legacy of falling short. There are amazing teachers doing the hard work of examining ego in the interest of facilitating growth in others. And on the other end of the spectrum there are actual abusive predators who leverage the unearned status and power that is sadly associated with the title "Acting Teacher." And in the middle there are all sorts of biases, ignorance of power structures, and social influences at play (often around gender, race, Queerness, ability), or even just a rigidity about what acting should be.We hear actors' experiences about acting teachers, and there are conversations that need to happen around the dynamics at play.  Every acting teacher, studio, school, or academy must examine their beliefs and practices.  No acting teacher or studio is above this conversation. That includes us. And every actor must be aware of the dynamics involved so they train and grow in a healthy environment.
