Hi,

Here are some tips for you.

*  Look into your scene partners eyes and talk to them.

* Loud volume is not a technique. Don't scream at people.

* Specify everything.

* Don't rock back and forth like a willow tree. It looks really bad. And if you are wearing nice shoes, it click clacks.

* Watch performers you admire and see if you can pinpoint why you like them.

* Listen when your scene partner is speaking.

* If something falls on stage, pick it up. If you try to continue the scene and trying to not pay attention to it, the audience will notice it more. Audiences appreciate a quick bit of improvisation to fix a small problem like vase tipping over. My favorite is when a phone ring cue goes off and keeps ringing after the actor picks up the phone. I think it's fine and hilarious if you give the phone a quick look in this case.

* When acting in comedy, always commit to the jokes no matter how lame you think the jokes are. Commitment can really sell a joke.
