Acting Insights: Learning Authenticity from Jenna Ortega
Jenna Ortega, star of Netflix’s hit series Wednesday, recently offered valuable insight into her acting process:
“I try not to be more prepared than necessary for a scene because you never know what you're going to say next or what your next facial expression is going to be in real life.”
This approach highlights an essential truth in acting: spontaneity and authentic reactions lie at the heart of compelling performances. Ortega reminds us that, just as life is unpredictable, truly believable acting must embrace uncertainty and instinctive responses.
At Acting Coach Scotland, this philosophy is foundational to our teaching approach, especially within our HNC Foundation Acting Course. Our program is carefully designed to help you develop your craft by guiding you towards genuine, truthful performances rooted in your authentic self.
The HNC Foundation Acting Course isn't about memorising lines and hitting marks. It's about exploring who you are, understanding human behaviour, and responding truthfully in every scene. Whether on stage or in front of the camera, authenticity is what makes your performance resonate deeply with audiences.
Inspired by Jenna Ortega’s powerful insight, our training includes practical exercises and scene work specifically designed to build your capacity for spontaneous and honest expression. By nurturing these skills, we equip you with the ability to deliver consistently truthful performances, preparing you for the professional industry.
