Are your emotions in scenes feeling fake, pushed or just... off?

In this episode I break down the 3 biggest signs actors are forcing emotions instead of living the emotional truth of the character in the moment.


▶️ You'll discover:

  • Why obsessing over how you should feel before the scene starts kills authenticity
  • The common trap that makes emotions come out too big (and how to ground them)
  • what to focus on instead, so your emotions flow naturally without you having to "try"

I also share practical Method Acting insights that will help you spot these bad habits in your own work, and more importantly, fix them so your performances land with real impact.


🎭 If you want to know whether you're a head actor (stuck in your own thoughts) or a heart actor (led by emotion), take my free quiz [WHAT TYPE OF ACTOR ARE YOU?]. You'll get instant feedback on your performance blindspots and the exact exercises to strengthen your craft.


🎧 Press play, and let's make your performances feel truthful, moving and unforgettable.
