5 Skills Actors Must Work on Constantly with online classes

BY MICHELLE DANNER

As an actor, you are always training regardless of whether you are seasoned or just starting out. You want to say, “I have a craft.” You are always in the pursuit of sharpening your tools. You are looking to keep your instrument alive responding, open to stimuli. Actors depend on having an instrument that works. You need to exercise it. Here are five basic essential things you have to work on constantly.

Anti-Anxiety Toolkit: An Effective Approach to Overcoming Anxiety

How to End Anxiety: The Ultimate Anti Anxiety Toolkit

by Julian F. Henning (instructor)

Anxiety is produced when the brain goes into fight or flight mode. It does that when it perceives a threat. In that state only the negative, the problems, are seen. The main benefit of exercises that get a person out of a state of anxiety into a state of relaxation is that in that state possibilities are seen. In other words, often within only a few minutes, one can see solutions that were simply not perceived before. Beyond inducing a state of calm, that is the true power of relaxation.

The more a person practices these exercises, some of which are from ancient traditions, others are compiled from the latest findings of neuroscience, the more the brain stays in a positive state of mind, enabling a person to make more effective life choices. It’s a positive reinforcing spiral. More calm brings about better decisions brings about a better life situation. This, in turn, induces more calm, induces better choices, and so forth. While we often cannot control what happens to us, we can choose how to respond. As Victor Frankel states, freedom lies in the gap between stimulus and response.

WE COACH ACTORS WITH THE WINNING TOOLS OF THE TRADE. OUR PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL WAS FOUNDED IN 2000 BY ACCLAIMED ACTING COACH MICHELLE DANNER.
Acting in Los Angeles is more than acting techniques or simply taking acting classes. It’s about finding what you really want – more than life and breath itself. The Michelle Danner Acting Studio is an acting school that treats the craft less like a business and more as creation fueled by insight and wonder.

Our Los Angeles acting school’s philosophy is that artists can draw upon all different acting techniques and form a toolbox of their own, their very own Golden Box. Our actors develop a comprehensive set of acting tools when approaching a role or a scene whether it be for film, television or theater.

Michelle Danner’s Los Angeles acting school encompasses the Meisner Technique, Lee Strasberg’s Method, Stella Adler, Stanislavski’s System, Uta Hagen, and the Chekhov technique.

Our master teachers are working professionals, who prepare and inspire our students for acting careers with cutting edge technology.

Our acting studio is located in the heart of Los Angeles’ entertainment industry in Santa Monica, CA.
