Are your emotions in scenes feeling fake, pushed or just... off?

In this episode I break down the 3 biggest signs actors are forcing emotions instead of living the emotional truth of the character in the moment.

▶️ You'll discover:

• Why obsessing over how you should feel before the scene starts kills authenticity
• The common trap that makes emotions come out too big (and how to ground them)
• what to focus on instead, so your emotions flow naturally without you having to "try"

I also share practical Method Acting insights that will help you spot these bad habits in your own work, and more importantly, fix them so your performances land with real impact.
