Master the rehearsal process, from first read to performance. Acquire and employ reliable, dynamic tools of characterization. Understand and experiment with the choices you have as an actor. Make yourself “director-proof,” not dependent upon outside feedback.
"Most acting classes offer scene study and critique, but it is much more unusual to run into someone who is willing and able to guide the actor through several scenes from a feature-length script, with cameras, in order to create the experience of developing a character in a real film. This difference has clearly made a difference — at least if the performances I observed at Maravilla are any indications. The talent on display was noticeable, but even more impressive was the discipline, as well as the strong sense of an entire cast and crew working as a team. Come to think of it, the best analogy would be to an actual film set, which is, I suppose, the point."Donelan
