The episode discusses the importance of seeing the character you’re playing as a separate entity. You, as the actor, get the opportunity to build a human being. After allowing your mind to wander and wonder what it would be like to be *this* person in *this* specific circumstance, you can begin talking it out different moments. Eventually, you will be ready to shape-shift into the character and talk out as them. Most importantly, you want to get specific in your choices so it excites you as much it would if you were telling a favorite story. Have an acting question for Milton?
