A Day in the Life of a Megalomaniacal Producer/Director

Acting: Trusting Your Performance.

   One of the most difficult things about being an actor is trusting your performance. What I mean by this is that it is hard for an actor to be satisfied with his or her performance simply because an actor thinks that their performance could always have been better. While it is good to strive for perfection in your craft, it is important for actors to remember that they are their own worst critic. About 99% of the time in your own eyes your performance will never be good enough. Always strive for perfection in what you do, but trust the lessons that you have learned up to that point in your career and perform to the best of your abilities. When you trust your skills, your "acting" will become more natural and you will actually perform more effectively.
