I approach this craft with Divine Humility. I give 210% and I don\u2019t expect anything less from the actors. I like to work with the actor\u2019s awareness. Our instrument is where everything lies. We have to be willing to access it and give yourself absolute permission to express your truth, without judgement. \u201cKnow Thyself\u201d. I\u2019m patient with the actor, because my hope for you is to be the best you can be. \u201cThe first way into your intimacy is through listening and really hearing\u201d. Come explore your spirit, therein lies your freedom!!!!\nLearn more about your ad choices.
