#performance

When a performance isn't working, it's usually because the actor is trying to do something and they're not able to express their idea very well. It's a muddled expression. ↗

There's nothing like a play. It's so immediate and every performance is different. As an actor, you have the most control over what the audience is seeing. ↗

For film and games, there is now a fantastic method of actors portraying characters which don't necessarily look like themselves. And yet you've still got the heart and soul of the performance. ↗

I don't see a difference between playing a performance capture role and a live action role, they're just characters to me at the end of the day and I'm an actor who wants to explore those characters in fantastically written scripts. The only caveat is a good story is a good character. ↗

My take is that acting is acting. A performance is a performance. With performance capture, if you don't get the performance on the day, you can't enhance the performance. ↗

Performance capture is a technology, not a genre; it's just another way of recording an actor's performance. ↗

Performance capture is a tool that young actors will need in the next 10, 20 years. It's on the increase, as you say. It's not going away. ↗

The fact of the matter is that an actor, if I'm playing a performance capture role and you're playing a live action role and we're having a scene together, there's no difference in our acting processes. ↗

A good athlete always mentally replays a competition over and over, even in victory, to see what might be done to improve the performance the next time. ↗

When all the performances are excellent, critics understand it's the direction. ↗
