366 - Indie Talk Takeover | Developing a Characters Authenticity, Backstory, and Truth to Roles | Acting Teacher & DigiFest Founder Diane Strand
**Warning: Early in this episode, Chris says that Charlton Heston was not in a lead role in the iconic film Ben-Hur. This is obviously insane and a short-term hallucination because Ben-Hur is one of Charlton's most iconic roles.** Apologies!
Hello, Hello!
In this episode, Chris and Nick speak with Acting Teacher and Co-Founder of JDS Actors Studio, Diane Strand. Diane shares her extensive background working in the entertainment industry, where she has taken on many roles including actor, author, speaker, and nonprofit founder. She discusses her philosophy of bringing authenticity to acting through thoroughly developing characters and understanding their motivations. Diane also provides details about her annual DigiFest event, a multi-day film festival and workshop that brings together emerging creators with top industry professionals.
We also talk about…
- Acting techniques: Diane emphasizes bringing authenticity to characters by developing their backstories and finding truth in their motivations and behaviors.
- The role of artificial intelligence in content creation
- The difference between auditioning and actual performance as an actor.
- When performing a role, why actors are expected to say the lines as written in plays and stick closely to the script in films.
- Why she believes Television is harder and better than feature film.
- And, an all-new Things We Should Know.
Enjoy!
