You Are Your Instrument

Time to come back to class!!!

Ryan O’Neill, Toronto Actor, says…

“I walked into Michael’s studio with no acting experience other than four prior acting jobs. Today, I’m represented by Glickman-Alexander and have acted in multiple short films, ads, a vertical reel and an improv comedy show and much more that I can’t wait to share when it is released”

You Are Your Instrument

"I love actors. I love them because they're brave. All good work requires self-revelation. A musician communicates feeling through the instrumenot he is playing, a dancer through body movement. The talent of acting is one in which the actor's thoughts and feelings are instantly communicated to the audience. In other words, the "instrument" that an actor is using is himself. It is his feelings, his physiognomy, his sexuality, his tears, his laughter, his anger, his romanticism, his tenderness, his viciousness that are up there on the screen for all to see. That's not easy. In fact, quite often it's painful.

There are many actors who can duplicate life brilliantly. Every detail will be correct, beautifully observed and perfectly reproduced.

One thing is missing, however. The character's not alive. I don't want life reproduced up there on the screen. I want life created. The difference lies in the degree of the actor's personal revelation."
