In my opinion, good acting is the art of feeling your truth through story. Many of
the greatest acting theorists discussed tapping into your existing pool of experience to
recreate a feeling and then use that feeling to guide your mind, actions, and voice. In
preparing for a role I often contemplate how my experience can aid me in my portrayal
of my character. This helps be build the world and understand why the decisions were
made that brought my character to this moment in time. I also believe that being an
empathetic person allows me to adapt to roles where my own experience varies greatly

moments it can cause more harm than we realize. When we are so detached that we
push through our lives without looking to observe the world around us we lose the
lessons our own experience can teach us. We are so focused on other peoples stories
that we can neglect our own. There is a balance in most things and I think it is important
to be reminded of this.
In contrast, acting can teach us some of our most valuable lessons. It can help
us through the hardest of times. It can raise our awareness and see something in a new
light. It can help us feel joy when there is little to feel joyful about. It can help remind us
that we are living an incredible life and encourage us to be grateful for the boons we
reap. It can draw webs of intrigue that helps us understand a culture we find difficulty
understanding. There is truly no limit to the lessons acting can teach, but it is necessary
