Sometimes, the fact that an actor has worked with a certain director can be just as appealing to casting directors as having a certain skill, with the \u2018director\u2019 field being the most searched one in the credits section on Spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>In order for the professional relationship to flourish, there needs to be a mutual level of respect and trust between an actor and the director. The actor should support the director\u2019s artistic vision and direction, but also feel able to offer suggestions in a professional way if they disagree. Likewise, the director should respect the actor as an artist, and have confidence in the actor\u2019s ability to listen and follow direction. It\u2019s a delicate balance, but if you get it right, it will create a strong professional connection, leading to a great performance and potential roles in the director\u2019s future projects.<\/p>\n<p>At\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/news\/spotlight-prize-2023-winners\/\">the Spotlight Prize<\/a>, we asked actors Amit Shah (<em>Happy Valley<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Crashing<\/em>), Tracy Ifeachor (<em>The Originals<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Treason<\/em>) and Rosalind Eleazar (<em>The Personal History of David Copperfield<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Slow Horses<\/em>) for their advice for working with directors. Here\u2019s what they shared:<\/p>\n<div class=\"responsiveEmbed\">\n<div class=\"embededYoutube\"><iframe id=\"142879395\" title=\"Tips for Working with Directors\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WcVMBmtXlmU?rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fspotlight.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-2257647_115=\"true\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-7=\"true\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-12=\"true\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-17=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>1. Familiarise Yourself with the Director\u2019s Work<\/h3>\n<p>Part of the challenge of working with a new director is not knowing what to expect. To overcome this, Tracy Ifeachor told us, \u201cI like to watch [the director\u2019s] work before I work with them [&#8230;] a whole catalogue of it so I get a sense of who the director is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the director\u2019s jobs will be to give you direction when it comes to acting your scenes, so being familiar with their style, preferences and approach to directing past productions will help prepare you for this. You might even impress them by anticipating what they\u2019ll want from a scene and doing it straight away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more work you can do outside of the rehearsal space, the more you have to offer and the more in tune you\u2019ll be with [the director],\u201d Tracy says. \u201cRather than turning up and going, \u2018Okay, how do I work with this person?\u2019 [&#8230;] say, \u2018What can I bring?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>2. Be Open to Notes from the Director<\/h3>\n<p>Similarly to how you\u2019d respond to a casting director\u2019s feedback in an audition, it\u2019s vital to be open to any notes the director may have for your acting choices in certain scenes. When they offer you feedback, don\u2019t take it as a personal attack on your acting ability, the director has a vision in mind for the scene, and they want to work with you to achieve it.<\/p>\n<p>Rosalind Eleazar says that, \u201cThe most important thing [&#8230;] is to be open to what [the director is] offering.\u201d The director will have been hired to work on this production for a reason, just like you, so hear them out, and even if you disagree with their notes, at least give them a try. You may be surprised with the result!<\/p>\n<p>If you feel a director is offering you too many notes at one time, Tracy Ilfeachor advises, \u201cI usually say, \u2018Let\u2019s just focus on one thing that you want to throw in, and then the next take we\u2019ll work on something else.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>3. Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Disagree with the Director\u2019s Notes<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t be afraid to ask the director for clarification if anything is unclear or you strongly disagree with what they\u2019re asking you to do.<\/p>\n<p>Amit Shah reminds us that the actor-director relationship is about, \u201cTrusting the person who is leading you or guiding you through that process, and having those conversations, and being bold with your choices and challenging moments as well. [It\u2019s about] finding moments where you can say, \u2018Maybe I don&#8217;t see it that way. Could we try it this way?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Communication is the solution to most of life\u2019s problems, and a short conversation will help you understand where the director\u2019s idea is coming from, or vice versa, and work towards it.<\/p>\n<p>As Rosalind Eleazar points out, \u201cYou\u2019re talking about something that\u2019s quite creative and they will have their opinion and you\u2019ll have your opinion.\u201d She continues, \u201cHave no fear in querying it. That&#8217;s perfectly okay, and I think most of the directors that I&#8217;ve worked with have really welcomed that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>4. Prepare Yourself Before Arriving On-Set<\/h3>\n<p>Your time with a director should be spent focusing on your delivery and their vision of the scene. So if you turn up to set not knowing your lines or the text the production is based on, this could waste time and sour your relationship with the director.<\/p>\n<p>Amit Shah says, \u201cIt\u2019s very important to have a very good understanding of the text before I start rehearsals because I feel, for me specifically, it frees me up when I&#8217;m rehearsing and trying new things out in the rehearsal room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having the confidence to try new things means you might give a performance that the director didn\u2019t know they wanted until they saw you give it. An impressed director is one who is more likely to want to work with you again in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, Tracy Ifeachor recommends that you, \u201cKnow who you are going into the situation, and know who you&#8217;re working with, and whether you want to work with them or what you like about them, and bring that to the work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you to Tracy Ifeachor, Rosalind Eleazar and Amit Shah for your excellent advice.
