Hello all, I thought I'd share this excellent workshop I discovered many years ago from the legendary Michael Caine! In it, he covers many aspects of screen acting including the difference between theatre and movie performances, blocking, position relative to camera, eyelines, and much more. Highly recommend viewing and hope you find it useful!

No problem at all, I'm always surprised how many actors have never seen or heard of it so I'm always happy to share.
I've found the entire workshop useful and watched it many times over the years. Around 3:37 - The eyeline switching, learning to focus on one eye in particular in relation to the camera placement has always stuck with me.
As well as the quote "if I do any less I'll be doing nothing" - "now you've got it!"

This is wonderful Richard Goss MIchael Caine has taught me a lot about acting. He also has a great Inside the Actor's Studio. I have read his autobiographies and they are the best celebrity memoirs I have read on acting.
