Action/ReAction: Examples of responsive reactions...

There are three phases to an actor's performance: Listening (or observing the actions of another character), reacting to what has been said or done by another actor and, finally, speaking your own dialogue or performing an action. The clips here from my movies show examples of responsive reactions; an actor reacting to the dialogue of another actor. The reaction can be long and articulated or short and to the point. In either case, it is performed after the other actor speaks and before you speak your own dialogue.
