Unlock the Secrets of Living Your Role
Stop “acting” cold, tired, heartbroken, or furious. Start feeling it so deeply the audience forgets they’re watching a play. In this insightful new episode of Dedicated to the Craft, host Scott Leon Smith pulls back the curtain on two powerhouse tools every actor needs : Sense Memory** and Emotion Memory.
No stuffy theory… just practical techniques you can use in your very next rehearsal or audition.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
- The enlightening Steppenwolf/Of Mice and Men story that proves sense memory can make a tiny black-box theatre feel like a dusty Depression-era road.
- Scott’s hilarious (and slightly tragic) childhood coat disaster that still helps him freeze on command…plus how to dig up your own unbreakable sensory cues (even if you’ve never broken a leg on K2).
- The safe, healthy way to tap into real joy, rage, grief, or betrayal without dragging unresolved trauma into the rehearsal room (or turning the scene into your personal therapy session).
If you’ve ever delivered lines that still felt flat… if you want your work to hit that next level of truth… this episode is your cheat code.
