Many people, when they first get into acting of any kind, either over-act or under-act. The over-actors REALLY want to show you just how ANGRY or HAPPY or SAD or ENTHUSIASTIC they are. The under-actors are afraid of showing that.

Both miss the mark.

Acting isn’t about showing. It’s about being. I’m not claiming to have mastered this. I just know it.

When you act, you have to be vulnerable enough to be those emotions that you share with your character. It’s scary.
