5 Ways to be a Better Scene Partner in Real Life

Written By John Cane, Ph. D., IWC

  • See beyond the obvious, because in real life, there’s never a script.

  • Stop thinking only of your next line. Really listen & tune in to what is unspoken.

  • Allow your partner to affect your emotions. Sometimes the best thing you can do is react and let words explain feelings.

  • Offer your presence, not perfection.

  • Don’t rush the scene. Let the awkward silences work magic.
