Screen Acting Mentor
Hello!
I’m David Skynner
“I am, and have always been, an actors director. I like actors and admire what they do and after decades of writing scripts, directing and working with actors, I have a truly granular and comprehensive understanding of the storytelling process, film and TV production, what is really required from an actor and crucially, exactly how to get that. I can open your eyes to what is required in a way very few other can.”
My Approach
ANALYSIS
Reading a script is very easy and incredibly hard. What is hidden behind the lines requires insight and analysis to find. Remember that a script is a distillation of human truth and should be as complex as human behaviour. To work, nothing should ever be what it seems, and so reading deeply between the lines is an essential skill.
INHABITATION
Screen Acting should be flawless, invisible, it should look like real life. It is not the same as stage acting. Screen Acting is an actor playing the emotional score of a scene in their head and letting their body dance along to it. In principle it’s simple, but hard in practice and as limitless as human possibility. It should perhaps be called, thought acting.
PERFORMANCE
In performance, all the knowledge that has been developed in rehearsal and analysis, becomes distilled and expressed through the essence of the actor. You must know who you are, why you act and from what you speak. It should be alive in you as you carry us through the story. When who you are dances in time with the story, magic happens.
