Lawrence's Women in LoveĪctress OLIVIA GRANT reveals how she battled her nerves - and double-sided sticky tape - while filming a new TV version of D.H. So make sure you are working on scenes whenever you can.Olivia Grant on the set of new TV version of D.H. Practicing and refining your acting through scene study means you will have a competitive edge in the audition room, and be stage fit when you do land that role. But the reality is that there is a lot you can do in between jobs. Actors love to feel sorry for themselves, and we are all guilty of this.

This may be in an acting class format, or just starting a private scene club with your peers. The majority of the time you are dealing with scenes - interacting with others and working towards your objective.Įven if you are booking regular gigs as an actor, make sure you are working on scenes independent of paid opportunities. And while monologues are a great device for refining you acting chops, they are quite rare in plays. When we are starting out as actors we often get lost in the world of monologues. That said, don’t be afraid to look past the gender and age of characters in order to find a scene that truly resonates with you!
