Punctuation mark

When we talk about acting tools, we usually mention headshots, reels, technique, or coaching. But punctuation? Not so much. And yet, punctuation—something you probably haven't questioned since middle school—might be interfering with your most natural, honest performances. The Problem Most Actors Don't Know They Have You get a script. Maybe it's commercial copy, maybe it's a scene. And without realizing it, your brain starts obeying the punctuation. Comma. Small pause. Period. Full stop, drop your pitch. Exclamation mark. Boost the energy, punch the line. Your body responds to those tiny marks automatically. But here's the thing: those cues might not match what your character is actually feeling. They might even contradict the emotional truth of the scene. If you've ever given a read that felt stiff, too “correct,” or like something was missing… this might be why. Why Punctuation Feels Helpful (But Can Hurt) Punctuation is meant to clarify meaning in writing. It's useful when you're reading silently or trying to follow someone else's train of thought. But acting isn't silent reading. It's expression. It's listening and responding. It's emotional and often messy. Here's where things get interesting: studies show that your brain processes punctuation differently depending on the mark. Semicolons and dashes? They activate the left side of the brain. Exclamation points and periods? The right side. Each carries its own emotional weight. Each sends a signal, even if you don't consciously register it. Which means your delivery may be less about what you're feeling… and more about how your brain is reacting to a comma. How to Break Free (Without Losing the Script) As Mandy Fisher shared in this episode of the Acting Business Boot Camp podcast, one of the most helpful things you can do—especially for commercial reads—is to strip out the punctuation entirely. Remove the commas. Take out the periods. Uncapitalize everything except brand names. Why? Because when you stop being told where to pause or emphasize, you start making those choices from instinct. From character. From context. It might feel strange at first, but that discomfort is exactly where more interesting, more connected performances begin. A Simple Experiment to Try This Week Take 60 seconds of script. Could be anything—a monologue, a commercial, a scene. Delete every piece of punctuation. Then read it out loud. Notice what your voice does. Notice how your pacing shifts. See what happens when you stop “reading” and start speaking. You might stumble. You might feel a little out of control. But you'll also find something new. A more honest rhythm. A stronger point of view. A version of the script that sounds less like a performance and more like a person. Final Thought: Punctuation or Presence? Punctuation has a place. It can help with rhythm and intention. But if you're performing with one eye on the commas, you're probably holding back. So ask yourself: are you punctuating for performance? Or are you speaking from presence? You already have a voice that's worth hearing. You don't need grammar rules to make it powerful. Let go. Experiment. Trust that you know how to connect without a period telling you when to stop. Ready to take your training deeper?

Sir Isaac Newton was an English polymath active as a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author. Newton was a key figure in the Scientific Revolution and the following Enlightenment. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published in 1687, achieved the first great unification in physics and established classical mechanics. While Newton pioneered the laws of motion and universal gravitation that formed the dominant scientific viewpoint for centuries, his first love was religious studies, specifically the issue of The Trinity, which he vehemently opposed in his secret writings. Peer down the telescope as Joel focuses on the hidden side of Isaac Newton's battle with the Catholic Church and what he deemed as the false doctrine of The Trinity. He then lays out the conflict between Athanasius and Arius, in which Newton took the side of Arius, who rejected the view of the Three in One. Joel then breaks down the Johannine Comma, which is the Trinity's most clear-cut verse, and whether or not it should have been included in the Bible.

As a business coach, I've seen the incredible impact that consistent, strategic actions can have on one's income. By focusing on these strategies, you can achieve remarkable financial growth. Here are five powerful methods to help you add a comma to your income: 1. Have a Morning Routine A well-structured morning routine sets the foundation for a successful day. Establish routines that enhance productivity and mental clarity. Whether it's through exercise, meditation, or planning the day ahead, a consistent morning routine can make a significant difference. Action Steps: Wake up at the same time daily. Incorporate activities that energize and motivate you, such as reading or journaling. Avoid checking emails or social media first thing in the morning. 2. Post One Thing of Value on Social Daily Social media is a powerful platform for building your brand and engaging with an audience. Posting valuable content daily helps you establish yourself as a thought leader and attract potential clients or customers. Action Steps: Schedule daily time for content creation and posting. Engage with your audience by responding to comments and messages. Use analytics to track post performance and adjust strategies accordingly. 3. Do Business Development Every M-F Consistency in business development is key to sustained growth. Dedicate time each weekday to networking, prospecting, and building relationships. This proactive approach helps you stay ahead of the competition and continuously fill your pipeline. Action Steps: Set specific hours each day for business development. Reach out to new contacts and follow up with existing ones. Attend networking events and join industry groups. 4. Be a Master Student of Your Calendar Effective time management is crucial for maximizing productivity. By mastering your calendar, you can prioritize tasks and ensure you focus on high-impact activities. Plan your week ahead and allocate specific time blocks for essential tasks. Action Steps: Use digital tools for organizing and managing your calendar. Schedule both work and personal activities to maintain balance. Regularly review and adjust your schedule to stay on track. 5. Follow Up Better Than Anyone in Your Industry Effective follow-ups can turn potential opportunities into successful deals. Develop a robust follow-up system to ensure you stay top of mind with prospects and clients. Personalized and timely follow-ups demonstrate your commitment and professionalism. Action Steps: Create a follow-up schedule and adhere to it. Personalize follow-up messages to show genuine interest. Use CRM tools to track interactions and set reminders. Keep it Simple, Be Consistent, and THINK BIG! Success stems from simplicity and consistency. By implementing these five strategies, you can steadily increase your income and achieve your financial goals. Remember, staying focused, maintaining a positive mindset, and always thinking big are crucial. As a business coach, I've seen firsthand how these methods transform businesses and lives. Start implementing these strategies today, and watch the remarkable impact they can have on your income and overall success. If you're ready to take your business to the next level, let's connect and make it happen. THINK BIG! Jon
