Company Encore – Intention in Acting
Intention in Acting
Workshop with Sam Devereaux
1.30pm - 4pm
How often do you say what you actually mean? And do the people listening to you believe that you mean what you say? In any form of public speaking, and particularly acting, intention is everything.
In this workshop, participants will explore intention and how it can radically improve a performance.
During the session you will learn to ask key questions of your character, such as:
- What do I want other people to think or feel when I speak?
- What do I want to make happen in this situation?
- What will happen if I succeed, or fail?
By doing this a performer can bring richness, depth, and authority to their performances.
Voice coach and acting teacher, Sam Devereaux, of Flying Pickle Performing Arts, will help you learn to sharpen your intentions. Using a combination of acting skills and vocal techniques you will learn to express your (or your character’s) intention with clarity and energy.
