THE ALMOST FERAL INTELLIGENCE OF A GOOD ACTOR
“A good actor is intelligent in a rustic, basic, almost feral way: He or she has been observing people in various behaviors for a lifetime, noticing how they operate, how they think, how they take in information. Almost all good actors are recessive, shy. In an audition or a meeting, you can see the way their eyes move and their hands work, and you instantly recognize the child they were and the artist they’re becoming. They are always studying, taking things in.”
~~ director ELIA KAZAN on acting and directing (1993).
PETER GARAS, Toronto Actor says:
“By January 2023, I had spent the last year+ pursuing what I love – being an actor. I had done a lot of projects & training & was starting to feel confident that I could get an agent & take the next step. That’s when a friend of mine suggested I get in contact with Michael Caruana.
Thus, I began the Certificate Program at bongo productions. We launched into what would be some of the most productive months of my career. It was evident from the start that Michael was an expert & knew how to develop & explore the limits of acting.
I gained more than just a coach with Michael; I gained a friend.
Thank you,
Ok, we’re SPRINGing forward! ☀️🙂
