The online acting studio.

"I came across Dani’s 'Acting for Beginners' group page on Facebook in 2020. At this point, I had never taken an acting class before. 
Breaking down a script/character, finding the “why” wasn’t a thing I knew anything about.  As they say, 'Ignorance is bliss', I wasn’t aware of any acting technique, so I played characters based on how I felt in the moment. I started taking her classes and discovered that there are tools used to elevate your performance to a whole new level of truth; like character breakdown, script analysis etc This is where the struggle began for me. I was presented with all these tools, and I had to decide how to use them. I was afraid that I’d use them incorrectly 
I didn’t want to give the wrong answer to questions I had to ask about the character, or the choices I had to make to bring the charter to life; ultimately I struggled with trusting myself.
Because in my head, there was a wrong and right answer to everything, and I didn’t want to be wrong.
Dani was able to penetrate that barrier I had with her vulnerability, patience and kindness, she would listen to me and my thought process and take it in. Unconsciously giving me permission to trust myself and explore my imagination . 
She never told me I was right or wrong , she worked with what I brought forward and that made me trust myself more.
As an actor you need to trust yourself and be free to explore without the mindset of right/wrong .
 It’s something I’m still working on, because it’s hard to do a complete 180 on something that has been engrained in you since childhood, but I’m no where near where I used to be in terms of being rigid and hesitant to choose and trust my mind ."
