Talent is not as Rare as People Think, Developing it is

Eric Stone founded Hollywood Actors Studio in Los Angeles in 1989.

"A sheer passion for artistic expression and freeing the "artist within" is what has motivated me to this day. The foundation of this approach is the privilege of having worked with extraordinary actors and directors: Herbert Berghof, Uta Hagen, Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Meisner, Michael Chekhov..."

"Michael Checkhov's breakthrough work in freeing the actor through imagination has greatly influenced me and continues to amaze me."

So is the need to cater needlessly thinking that being soft spoken is the key to win hearts. Have you ever realised how many times you hear “I’m sorry” in a day? Put it to the test, it’s mind blowing. On the surface, these habits can appear as legitimate forms of expression or harmless ways to handle people. On the contrary, they are powerful enemies and should be avoided at all cost.

Do You Really Know what Roles You are Playing Lately?

And how these roles impact and influence everyone around you? Being aware requires time and patience in order to see what is really going on. Subtle or grossly obvious to others or not, the action paths we take are often embedded in our subconscious.

That’s true for everything like politics, parenting, career, self-acceptance, confidence, etc. However, we are human beings in a clearly human and extremely fragile world. It means we are all evaluated, scrutinised, and interpreted based on how we present and conduct ourselves in private, professional, public and social circles alike. I like to call it role-playing because admittedly or not, we are always playing a role.
