ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Beginner vs Oscar Level Actress (Same Scene)

Obsession is taking the world by storm right now.

And one of the main reasons is because of the iconic performance of Indy Navarrete as Freaky Nikki.

I'm your Freaky Nikki.

But just how impressive actually was her performance?

Well, that's exactly the question that we're going to answer today by looking at how a beginner,

intermediate, professional, and then finally Indy Navarrete performed the exact same scene from the film Obsession.

This way we can finally answer what exactly about her performance is so special.

Now, I'm Tristan Spohn, a professional actor that you might have seen on Netflix, Paramount Plus, or Peacock on some of the following shows.

And I will be starting with our beginner actors,

Swan and Jessica, who had only a couple of classes under their belt at the time of recording this.

I have something.

What's this?

Open it.

It's a Chetoyant Quartz.

A tiger's eye.

She's leaning too heavily into the void, dark aspect of this character.

So I don't really get that sense of the attraction towards Bear.

It feels like she's saying, look at this present I got you, from the perspective of it's in the script and I'm saying what's in the script.

This stone's important to me.

Well, you know, after my dad left.

So why are you giving it to me?

Because you're important to me.

Aswan is doing a really great job.

He's not just trying to show us, look, this is the emotion that I'm experiencing, but he's trusting his eyes to do the work.

You can tell that Uswan actually does love her in a way that we just don't feel is reciprocated from Jessica.

Vicky?

Yeah?

Does your dad really have cancer?

No. No, no, no, no. What?

No!

Don't do that.

Why?

Sit down, please.

Why does it matter, Bear?

What do you mean?

I thought we were having a nice date.

We are.

She didn't full send that moment of having a breakdown.

It's a little bit too similar to the rest of the scene.

So that moment feels a lot less explosive than we need it to for this story.

Now remember, we are going to be breaking down all the way up to the Oscar-worthy acting of Indy Navarrete.

But first, let's check out our intermediate actors Ada and Alec, who have at least a few years of training under their belt in my online acting school, The Acting Lab.

It's a tiger's eye.

Wow.

It was my mom's.

And then it was mine.

You know it's supposed to bring you confidence and willpower, so now you can be a food critic.

So why are you giving it to me?

She starts the scene with tears already in her eyes, which is going to make it have a lot less contrast when we get to the breakdown moment,

but she doesn't just say the lines, she has a strong opinion about what she's saying.

And then And then you can also tell based off of her eyes that she's hiding something about how she's communicating herself.

That then makes it feel like a fully fleshed out, lived in, in-depth character.

Depth simply happens when there is something deeper down than we as the audience can fully see,

which is why Meryl Streep has a secret for every single character that she has.

That feeling of wanting to hold your cards close to your

chest instead of being obvious about how you feel is what creates that depth.

With Alec, Alec is almost giving detached boyfriend energy more than he's giving the girl that I'm desperately in love with energy.

See you on.

You love me?

I love you so much.

I honestly don't think I could live without you.

You actually believe that in a way that we just didn't with Jessica.

Jessica was so focused on the void creepiness of the character, we didn't actually get that love coming through.

And then there's that moment with Alec where he like grabs his chest.

It's because in the script it says he holds the tiger stone close to his heart.

We haven't really gotten the sense that this is important to him.

Whenever you have an action line, let it flow with the lines instead of it feeling like you're doing it right

when it says for you to do it.

And you always need to make sure it has a clear motivation.

Does your dad really have cancer?

No. No, no, no. A lot of actors immediately go into,

this is my intense moment, so let me really amp myself up to make sure I really let loose and lose control.

And so I love that she let what he said land on her.

No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, don't do that.

Don't do that, I thought we were having a nice day, Bear.

Why does it matter?

I thought we were having a nice day!

It doesn't matter.

Sit down.

Then why does it matter?

It doesn't matter to me.

She has a lot more emotional availability than Jessica did.

she felt like she could actually fully lose control of herself, which is such a huge part of acting.

Her being on the edge of tears made the entire thing feel like she was just really sad and really somber, where then when she snaps at him,

it doesn't land as good as it could have.

And then with Alec, it's not necessarily that what he's doing is bad.

It's just the wrong fit.

He needs to have that insecurity and lack of confidence that leads to him breaking the one wish Willow to begin with.

And Alec just doesn't give that energy at all.

Once you're auditioning consistently, you're looking for how can I honor this character

while also honoring my strengths so even if I don't book this role, the casting director knows roles I would be perfect for later down the line.

And that's how you start basically treating your auditions like seeds that you're planting.

Now, before we go break down our original scene, let's check out our professionals.

Our bear is so much less cool than Alec is.

Me.

I will be playing bear and again I've been on some of the shows

that are currently on the screen right now

and then we also have Isabelle as our freaky Nikki who is a professional actress in her home country of Norway.

100

Now I filmed this scene a few days ago

101

and made a grievous error but we'll talk about that after we've watched it a little bit.

102

See if you can catch it.

103

Everything okay?

104

Nikki, do you...

105

What?

106

Nothing.

107

I have something for you.

108

What's this?

109

Open it.

110

I thought this scene took place closer to the climax after three other major creepy events happened.

111

Which is why I have this completely out of place moment of, oh my god, what is this gift?

112

What is she giving me?

113

I should not feel as traumatized as I feel in the beginning.

114

I'm doing way too much.

115

And that's also why Isabel comes across a lot more creepy.

116

Because I also told her some context and subtext.

117

Which made her also think that Nikki was at a creepier place.

118

And that's where having a very cohesive timeline is so important

119

because when you're on set you frequently film out of order

120

But I also love this

121

because at the end of the day a big part of the audition process is making mistakes

122

and being wrong It's a lot easier to work with an actor

123

that brings way too much Trusting

124

that you can bring them down than it is to work with an actor

125

that doesn't fully commit And you have to see if you can get them to fully commit on the day.

126

It's supposed to bring your confidence and willpower so now you can be a food critic.

127

Why are you giving this to me?

128

Bear, this stone is important to me.

129

One major difference that we're seeing between Ada and Isabel is Ada had perfect continuity from beginning to end.

130

We didn't necessarily see those glitches of the fact that this isn't exclusively Nikki, it's Nikki plus this other entity and I really love

131

that Isabel has these moments where it's almost like she glitches a little bit Almost as

132

if the real Nikki maybe like enters chat before then going back Does your dad really have cancer?

133

No No, no, no, no,

134

no Frankie, sit down, sit down.

135

No!

136

Why does it matter?

137

What do you mean?

138

You lied to me.

139

I know we were having an escape!

140

We are.

141

We are.

142

We are.

143

She actually got the cops called on her because of this.

144

Because we're trying to look at the differences in each skill level, we look at Ada.

145

Beautiful breakdown.

146

Again, so emotionally available.

147

This isn't me saying that that moment didn't work, but it didn't come across as scary.

148

It came across as someone genuinely having their feelings really badly hurt.

149

Versus with Isabelle's, it actually feels like a demon is coming out of her body

150

and makes me terrified that she could be violent.

151

So far, I'm the only bear that has actually incorporated the environment.

152

Neither a swan or Alec had any aspect of the embarrassment of the environment getting to them.

153

I would also say I've probably had the most intense reaction to the breakdown from Nikki.

154

Alec didn't like really fully respond and change.

155

I think that's the key is that we need to see the freak out from Nikki change bear.

156

Then what is the matter?

157

It's funny because I said that Ada started the scene a little bit too much on the cusp of tears.

158

Meanwhile, I went and made the exact same mistake in my scene.

159

I love that complete change in tactic.

160

How she goes from like losing her shit.

161

Okay, you told me what I wanted.

162

Now I'm gonna change my tactic.

163

And with Ada, we didn't get as much of a tactic change.

164

It was just, I calmed down a little bit.

165

Why does it matter?

166

I love that we saw that tactic change with Isabelle.

167

There might be some of you that are thinking, Oh, but Ada nailed the scene a lot more than Isabel did in terms of like what they were looking for.

168

The goal of this video is to show how different actors

169

without any previous performance to try to base what they're gonna do off of, would interpret a scene differently.

170

Which doesn't mean one is good, one is bad.

171

Now, before we break down the original scene that broke the internet, how would you like to not only perform this scene yourself,

172

but also have the chance to perform this scene in front of the actual casting director of Obsession.

173

That's exactly what the students in my online acting group, The Acting Lab, get to do this summer with our Obsession-themed casting simulation.

174

Everyone in the group will get to record their own version of the scene that then me and my other coach,

175

Logan Riley Brunner, who has actually acted in even more projects than me,

176

will break down and give feedback on their auditions the exact same way that I'm doing now in this video,

177

before then shortlisting our favorite tapes to then show the casting director of Obsession.

178

Skylar will give all of our finalists feedback before then saying if she was recasting Obsession,

179

which actors she would hypothetically cast in a new version of this movie.

180

As if she's in charge of casting it all over again.

181

Now everyone in the group gets to meet Skylar.

182

You don't have to be a finalist just to be able to attend the call.

183

That will also act as a Q&A where you can ask some of your own questions, but obviously only our finalists will perform for her live,

184

which is not only an incredible learning but also an incredible exposure opportunity as well.

185

The deadline to take part in this simulation is Monday, July 20th of 2026.

186

Before then, the call with Skylar will be the following week on Sunday, July 26th.

187

And by the way, this is all on top of the several weekly classes taught by me personally, along with our second coach,

188

Logan Riley Brunner, feedback videos on audition tapes that you can post to the group, along with a acting course taught by me as well.

189

So if you'd like more details then click the link in the description or pinned comment.

190

You can also scan this QR code on screen right now.

191

If you join I look forward to not only meeting you in classes but also seeing your own version of this scene.

192

Finally let's go ahead and break down the original version of this scene with Indy Navarrete and Michael Johnston.

193

Everything okay?

194

Thank you.

195

Thank you.

196

What?

197

Never mind.

198

I have something for you.

199

Yeah, she's so like sweet girl next door energy the way that we start.

200

It doesn't necessarily feel immediately off the bat like she's actually psycho,

201

which is then gonna make her going psycho have that much more of a pop.

202

It's a tiger's eye.

203

Wow.

204

It was my mom's and then it was mine.

205

It's supposed to bring you confidence and willpower.

206

Some of that creepiness is slowly starting to peek out

207

because you'll notice she has a smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes.

208

And that's one of the easiest ways to immediately make your performance come off a little bit more unhinged and unsettling.

209

It's not so obvious that you're thinking immediately off rip, oof, there's something really wrong with that girl.

210

But it's enough that then when you watch it back, you can pick up on those little things.

211

And the best acting is the type of acting that every single time you watch it, you pick up something different, you pick up something new.

212

Bear, I love you so, so, so, so, so much.

213

I don't think I could live without you.

214

You love me more than anyone in the world?

215

Yes, more than anyone.

216

He's doing such a great job of truly just allowing Indy to be the engine of this scene.

217

It's so difficult as an actor to allow yourself to take a backseat in a scene.

218

It takes a lot of humility and it takes a lot of trust in yourself.

219

Michael Johnston is playing this way more subtle than I did, which is why it's so much better because I'm just drawing too much attention to myself.

220

I'm doing so much that it takes the focus off of Nikki and puts it onto both of us equally.

221

And this is a scene where we really want Nikki to shine.

222

You don't want Bear to really shine at all.

223

Michael's doing a phenomenal job of not drawing attention to himself, but still having a lot of depth.

224

Like you can still see in his eyes all of what he's thinking.

225

Nikki.

226

Yeah?

227

Does your dad really have cancer?

228

You fully see that fear and you see how unsettled he is by her

229

but he's also trying not to let her onto it.

230

I think I did such a bad job of not incorporating how I wanted Nikki to see me.

231

There are two levels to acting.

232

You have the version of acting where you're trying your best to make sure you give the audience what they need.

233

You wanna make sure that the audience has the experience that they need to have when watching the movie.

234

And then you have the layer of the character of what you want the other person across from you to see.

235

I really love that she's also letting that land.

236

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. What?

237

No. No. No. No. No. Don't do that!

238

I thought we were having a nice date.

239

We are parents.

240

Why does it matter?

241

I thought we were having a nice date.

242

We are.

243

We are.

244

We are.

245

We are.

246

We are.

247

It's OK.

248

We are.

249

I love how she even adopts this almost inhuman physicality.

250

All of the Nickys were so focused on the delivery, they didn't care as much about the physical side of the performance.

251

Indy not only changed vocally, but she changed physically.

252

There's something very clearly off.

253

There's something so incredibly unhuman about her, but in the beginning It's just sweet innocent girl next door.

254

We are.

255

We are.

256

Then why does it matter?

257

Genuinely, I feel as though This is one of the top five performances I've seen.

258

I play off their rocker types of characters, which is why I appreciate what Indy did so much,

259

because as somebody frequently called to go there, I know how brutal and difficult it is to go there.

260

And she goes there in such a beautiful way with so many layers.

261

I genuinely believe this is 100% Oscar worthy,

262

and I hope that it being in a horror film doesn't lead to it getting shafted in the award circuit.

263

Now remember, if you want to perform this scene yourself, get feedback from me the exact way I gave feedback in this video,

264

and then meet and potentially perform in front of the real casting director of Obsession,

265

Skylar Zurm, then click the link in the description or pinned comment to join my online acting school, The Acting Lab.

266
