The Great Acting Blog: “Knowing What You’re Doing Means True Creativity”
Fear of having your work examined, not being able to cope with questions, panicking when given a note are all signs of personal worthlessness. It is brought about when the actor* doesn’t know what he is doing, and is terrified of being found out.
The remedy is having a concrete technique of acting as oppose to one that is little more than a superstition, and by knowing how to analyse a script for action so that you always know what is actually happening in the scene.
Knowing what you are doing means banishing the fear and having a clear sense of your own value, to yourself and to a production. It’s means working with joy and confidence. And it means true creativity rather than it’s facsimile.
*this not only applies to actors, but basically anybody.
