I set about writing a book that was a real nuts and bolts, \u2018how-to\u2019 guide to breaking down a script from the point of view of the actor, writer and director.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I created 12 easy steps to follow that are based on behavioural science, psychology and cultural anthropology. Since the 12-Step Chubbuck Technique is based on the science of how we live and behave on a daily basis, it\u2019s easy to understand and utilise. I\u2019ve used my technique when working with Academy Award winners and nominees, including Djimon Hounsou, Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Brad Pitt and Jake Gyllenhaal, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My book has been translated into languages all over the world and I get emails daily from international actors about how using the 12 steps dramatically changed their careers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve had the privilege of sharing some great advice with actors to help them improve and hone their craft over the years, including these 10 tips for actors embarking on a performing career:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>1. Make Sure Your Overall Objective Is Relatable<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your overall objective should provide a primal human need that creates a universal journey, one that everyone in the world can support and cheer for. This enables people and audiences from every corner of the world and every segment of society to relate to the overall objective and can therefore change and grow from the experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Don\u2019t Play the Character, Be the Character<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find your personal connection to the character on the page, so you can always be present and in the moment. Your need will come from a truthful and necessary place.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Never Play the Victim<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We never support a person in real life who feels sorry for themselves. We always love and support a person who, against all conflicts and obstacles, no matter how horrible their circumstances, will still fight to overcome and attempt to win.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Celebrate Your Flaws, Fears and Insecurities<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They make you interesting and special.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5. Never Colour the Underbelly of Your Work with Sadness<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sadness creates lethargy and inertia \u2013 the inability to make moves. Instead, find the anger. Anger creates passionate behaviour and is a fuel that makes us do things that, in normal circumstances, we would never do. I always say, \u201cAnger moves mountains, sadness digs a hole.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"actor-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-size\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-10-at-14.39.15.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-10-at-14.39.15.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Ivana Chubbuck at a Barnes &amp; Noble event for her book &#8216;The Power of the Actor&#8217;.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>6. Bring Humour to Your Work, Even in the Darkest of Dramas<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t see the dark without the comparison to light. Humour makes the experience of watching a play, movie, or television show a more enjoyable experience. Chekhov\u2019s plays are filled with satirical humour alongside profound drama \u2013 this is why he\u2019s such a celebrated playwright who has stood the test of time. You\u2019ll find this is true of Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, David Mamet, August Wilson, No\u00ebl Coward, Samuel Beckett, Sophocles, Oscar Wilde, Aristophanes, George Bernard Shaw, Harold Pinter, Lillian Hellman, Jean-Paul Sartre and all other great playwrights who have historical value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>7. Chemistry is Key to a Great Performance<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemistry, or lack of it, can make or break the success of a movie, TV show or play. Chemistry is something that everyone understands and relates to regardless of their religion, geography, language, moral priorities, intellect, socio-economic stature or occupation. Making other cast members and your audience feel that you are accessible is part of what makes a star. People would rather spend time with someone they\u2019re attracted to than someone they\u2019re not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>8. Take Risks, Never Play it Safe<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s more satisfaction for the actor and the audience when choices are made from fearlessness. Bottom line: Fear is antithetical to art.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>9. Greatness Is in the Details<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes a lot of work to create the details, however, if we\u2019re duplicating real human behaviour, we have to duplicate the complicated nature of being human, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>10. Have a Strong Work Ethic<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Success in any field takes time and work. Laziness is for losers. The people who work really hard on their script analysis, rehearse a lot and take the vast amount of time it takes to create a real three-dimensional human being out of a character are the winners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"imgLeft imgLeftSmall\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-replace hoverZoomLink\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_400,c_limit\/https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ivana-Chubbuck-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_{width},c_limit\/https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ivana-Chubbuck-2-1.jpg\" \/><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ivanachubbuck.com\/about-studio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ivana Chubbuck<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the founder and director of the Ivana Chubbuck Studio and creator of the cutting-edge and widely adopted Chubbuck Technique.
