Chris Wells: Confidence vs Arrogance – Advice for Actors
Acting is the most intimate, the most personal, of the arts. We literally use ourselves — our bodies, our faces, our voices — and also our impulses, which is like exposing our psychology, warts and all. This brings unique challenges, not only in the work itself but in how we …
