Description

Actors are constantly told that film
acting is "all about the eyes." But what does that really mean? In
this episode of Casting Actors Cast, veteran casting director, actor,
educator, and author Jeffrey Dreisbach explores one of the most
misunderstood concepts in on-camera acting.


Discover why the camera isn't
actually watching your eyes—it's watching your thoughts. Learn why truthful
thinking creates truthful behavior, why listening is one of the greatest acting
skills, why the advice "don't blink" misses the point, and how simple
eye-awareness exercises can strengthen your on-camera performances.


Whether you're preparing for
auditions, self-tapes, or your next film role, this episode will change the way
you think about close-up acting forever.
