My journey as an actor came from me just wanting to do something, wanting to get out, wanting to be great at something,

wanted to do the great works of Arthur Miller and Shakespeare and Chekhov and all of that.

So I went to acting school and I just wanted everyone else to think that I was great.

So whatever they told me to do, I did and I perfected.

How do I perfect

it? how do I get standard American speech how do I

use my voice how do I do this ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

and then when I got out of school I just needed to work

because you haven't done anything

if you haven't done anything let me tell you something most people will say just go out there

and do it and ba ba ba ba that's true absolutely true 100 %

but more than likely is gonna be hard I I create a backstory, but I have to say,

I used to be way more strict about it.

I would have 100, 150 pages.

I mean, I would write a book.

Now, I don't do that because I find that there is something to be said with leaving yourself alone and being surprised.

That some things that you may have absolutely thought was true about your character, you get on that stage.

And all of a sudden, the other actor will throw you something you're like oh no that's not actually what it is

so i i try to do

that less you're looking at a profession where literally with acting

less than one percent of the people make 50 grand a year

or more less than one percent the rest most of them

don't even can't even make enough to make health insurance

which is eleven thousand dollars a year but what happens

when you love it and you keep doing it and doing it

and god intervenes and comes down and all of a sudden you take off

that's when your has got to kick in okay that's

when you have to be the artist that you and the person

that that you that you've always wanted to be that's

when you have to find a voice that separates you from the rest.

You know that's a big thing in acting is you cannot do that when you create a character.

You can't judge the character.

That's the number one thing you cannot do when you create.

So you can't judge a character and you can't create a character to be likable.

It's about being private and public.

So I mean think about all the things you do in your life privately.

All the things that you have done that nobody knows about.

If someone were to play you in your life with all those private moments imagine

if they filtered all of it out oh

because they wanted it to be pretty and likeable it's very very very important

that we tell the truth as much as possible in our art

because I think it makes people feel less alone listen

I'm Arthur Miller the great playwright said he became a writer

because he wanted people to feel less alone acting is about exposing

it's about taking the mask off i feel like i understand human behavior before

i never really um critiqued it in the past i just thought

you got to show up the show must go on you

got to do everything the director says blah blah blah blah you know um

so if anyone went against that i was like oh wow they're difficult

but now i because i'm i have more experience um it's like someone said today

when you um uh when you critique the behavior

but not the motivating factor behind the behavior and now

that i'm older i understand human behavior more

so i'm like i wonder where that's coming from right there's a reason for

that i don't judge as much at all i just don't

if you would have said that right then

and there we could have had a real connection

but what happened was she keeps kept the mask on that's what we do is people Facebook is big with

that everyone's a great mother everyone's a great wife I see posts with people I'm like I know

that your child is in social services right now I know you're a drug addict

or I know you're agoraphobic or I know you have all kinds of things going on

but according to your posts you're Martha Stewart you know our refusal to expose to vomit

that mess that's what we do for you

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
