The Eyes Have it...Or Do They

Actors are constantly told that film acting is "all about the eyes." But what does that really mean? In this episode of Casting Actors Cast, veteran casting director, actor, educator, and author Jeffrey Dreisbach explores one of the most misunderstood concepts in on-camera acting. Discover why the camera isn't actually watching your eyes—it's watching your thoughts. Learn why truthful thinking creates truthful behavior, why listening is one of the greatest acting skills, why the advice "don't blink" misses the point, and how simple eye-awareness exercises can strengthen your on-camera performances. Whether you're preparing for auditions, self-tapes, or your next film role, this episode will change the way you think about close-up acting forever. Learn more about your ad choices.
