positive criticism for actors

Nikey Saint Elien - November 9 2007, 2:00 AM

let me first introduce my self.
My Name is Nikey saint-Elien.

i stumble upon this site looking to complement an actor.

and i can't help but say that i do like the purpose of this site.

i am an actress.

still in school studying the theater and film and directing.

but my main focus is in performance track, wish is what gave me the itch to put my constructive criticism forth

when watching a movies, play or anything of that sort. i can't help but criticize.

not because I'm a jerk but because it is my line or work and thats what i do, i do inspire to someday use this as my full time profession.

and just positively of course.

which means that i don't just judge Haitian movies.

i think that director need to send there actors to acting workshops.

..

now don't get me wrong there are some very good actors and actresses out there in the Haitian community.

but it is never too late fr improvement specially if you were introduce to this line of work straight on film.
as an actress i can say that there are so many new things that one can get there hands on to better there acting skills and abilities.

there is now this new method out there called the "view points" it is not very popular yet but i assure you that is will be and various professional actors and actresses are using this. i just started using faithfully it 3 months ago. it is can be placed in the same categories as the methods that the late famous Stella Adler have use in her objectives for the artist of the theater company.

the reason that i propose this is because there are a lack of convincing good artist in these movies.

and i will go as far as being truthfully and saying that some of there are just bluntly terrible, but that does not mean they can not be trained.

even the great artist can get hands on if they want.
after all that is said ..

please be honest do you professional directors and film maker not agree that there is space for improvement in the work of your artist?
