The frustration on his face...
Joined a band recently as their lead singer. The songs are fantastic - all written by our drummer. Just come back from a rehearsal and it's really interesting to see his face while I'm singing. Ultimately I know he wants me to be able to reach the notes he's hitting but, as I'm quite new to this singing malarkey, my voice just isn't flexible enough yet. So when the harmonies don't work out or something isn't right I like to have a quick look at his face to see his opinion. And it got me thinking - how will my face look when the actors don't quite do something as I envisaged it - will it be an expression of annoyance and frustration or of surprise and excitement? Only time will tell I guess...

I guess the Actors will be looking for what your looking for when you look at your drummer! If it doesn't feel right to you, you know it, hence seeking for comment. Plus, if you don't get it right, then thats how you learn. You have to make a mistake in order to know it is one. A good Actor will be seeking to perform your vision. A great Actor will see that vision with you and work with you and the rest of the team to achieve it.
