CSI: New York
ISSL subscriber, Mike Pniewski, played a great role on CSI: NY last Wednesday night. As my wife and I watched the episode, I thought about how effortless Mike appeared in his scenes. His skill made him believable in the role he played.
Do you look effortless when you speak? Are you skilled?
The difference between a skilled and unskilled speaker is as glaring as the difference between Mike Pniewski and a first audition actor.
1. New speakers should expect negative experiences. If I walked onto a movie set today would I be nervous? You bet! I don't know where the marks are, what the cues are, or how to appear real in unreal surroundings. How many mistakes would I make? Countless. That's fine because I'm new, but it wouldn't be fine after a couple of years.
2. Speakers who refuse to dedicate themselves to becoming better will remain bad or at best become mediocre. If you've ever watched Inside the Actors Studio on Bravo you have discovered that almost every actor trained extensively for his/her craft. Becoming the best is not an accident.
3. You have to start in order to make it to the top. If Mike never took an acting class or went to an audition he would not be where he is today. How about you? The only way you'll reach great heights in communication is by taking a step.
Have an AWESOME week! Paul
