Leave them wanting more.
Auditions and self-tapes are unavoidable aspects of an actor’s career. While it is not so much about proving your ability to act, beyond the technical aspects, you still need to demonstrate certain qualities, such as your ability to bring life to words and silences, despite the limited context and time, as well as your ability to handle stress while remaining present and authentic, ensuring a production that the human material you produce will always be usable in the editing room.
Here is a practical condensed version of the Direct-able Authenticity technique to specifically cover these fundamentals with impact, charisma and truthfulness.

Direct-able Authenticity Technique:
Unprecedented in France, the Momentum Acting Studio's Direct-able Authenticity Technique is based on:
The Meisner Technique for its practicality
in anchoring the actor in the moment
with its ability to channel the actor's authentic humanity with specificity, flexibility, and consistency
without resorting to often traumatic impact of “Emotional Recall”.
The Alive Technique for its ability to unleash the actor's imaginative and emotional availability.
Certain elements of Lee Strasberg's Method for its physical relaxation and physical activation (energetic).
"Practical Aesthetics by deepening its performative text analysis specifically for actors.
Combining and building upon their benefits enable the Direct-able Authenticity Technique to adapt precisely and deepen each participant’s process specifically.
Prerequisites:
The depth and details with which the Direct-able Authenticity technique enables you to address your acting are only relevant within a professional practice and mindset.
