What’s beautiful about the actual acting class environment is that you can use it to push through everything: push your voice, push your inhibitions, push your fears, push your confidence, push your vulnerability, push your silences. Dawn Olivieri Read Quote

You have to figure out what’s important and keep the main points, though I will swing a little outside the box. It affords me the freedom to find out who the character is, and it’s been a positive technique for me. I’m not saying everyone should change words, but if you can do it with confidence, you may nail it. Dawn Olivieri Read Quote
