acting techniques

The lessons we had with Jack in my eyes really helped a lot. I can't fully remember the names but I loved the fact that Marcus could relate to almost all of the tasks we got. I remember one scenario where my friend had slept with my girlfriend and I knew but he didn't know I knew and I realised this could be the exact same with Marcus and Violet... The fact that Violet is an ex stripper, you never know she just might go to another man whereas Marcus being a big softy would know but not say anything about it. 

We didn't get to do that much improve but when we did I really enjoyed it. I like improvisation all over but doing ones that would involve us being our characters would help the situation even more. An example would be the scene where Marcus is confronted by Violet's daughter but he doesn't know this as he believes it's just this random 16 year old girl wanted to work in the strip club. Luckily I had a chance to work on that in Jack's lesson and found out many ways to react when she approached and how my tone of voice would effect the scene and almost change it entirely.
