  • Knowing lines that well, to the point where they're "in your DNA", is pretty much what Anthony Hopkins does. And he's a bloody good actor if you ask me.
  • Wow. You really know how to catch your audience.
    that was not only a video, that was a performance
    Thank you very mush sir
  • I think this applies not only to acting, but all the conversations we have! Captured my atention, and I'm not an actor. Just a guy trying to improve my abilites to talk and connect with people!
  • I think you can see it too as:
    Don't fill in the person opposite you. Let the person fill in himself/herself.
  • You make them feel that they're important, their thoughts and reacts to your actions

    THANK YOU!!!! The most important lesson for acting and Improv. Loved how he delivered this, with the pauses. I will remember this special share. Something about him grabs you in.
  • Wow. Blown away simply by the personality that's expressed by the man in the video. It was soo interesting to watch...
  • One of the best lessons ever! Learn the lines that well so you can be engaged and really listen and really react. Wonderful.
  • Great to have youtube these days you don't need to waste a lot of your money on classes, did not have this when I started out 25 years ago thank you john.
  • The reaffirmation of this is giving me confidence in my instincts, thank you
  • @2ndPortal
    this video is him applying the technique that he's at the same time teaching. he creates a problem between 2 opposites (in this case listening and not listening) and resolves it at the complete end so you end up listening all the way.
  • Sir John Windsor-Cunningham, that may have been the best film reel I have ever seen. I almost feel like I don't want another acting class. Watching this a few hundred times will suffice. British actors are much more involved, more present, more intimate, more interesting, more multi-layered and depthful as people, better listeners and hence much better than American artists. You sir are an incredible talent.
  • @trudybear
    This was recommended to me on my youtube page. I'm not a actor but I watched the video and just thought wow, that's wow.
  • You made that story really vivid, and I think I only now understand the advice that some people give that listening is the most important element of acting. Thank you.
