David August<p>"I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect.

David August<p>"My approach is to look at the character’s world. Often, we get so locked into memorizing lines and practicing how we’re going to say those lines, when in reality the lines are just a symbol or representation of the person. I spend a lot of time getting into the character’s life. Every character has a point of view, so what informs this character’s point of view?" </p><p>—Malcolm-Jamal Warner </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/acting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>acting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/coaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coaching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/inspiration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inspiration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ActingCoach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActingCoach</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ActingCoaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActingCoaching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/actorslife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actorslife</span></a></p>
