PROFESSIONAL ACTING
Across
- 1. speed of thought/speech → slow to show control
- 4. final moment that lands → hold silence after last line
- 5. what blocks you → “They don’t believe me.”
- 8. how you try to win → “I charm / I plead / I challenge.”
- 10. one repeated action → ring twist = anxiety
- 13. personal analogy → “As if I’m being accused unfairly.”
- 14. shifts in intention → change tactic after new info lands
- 15. why it matters → “If I fail, I lose my job.”
- 17. what you want in the scene → “I want them to trust me.”
- 19. safe memory access → tap a real feeling, then release
- 20. body leads emotion → slump to find defeat
Down
- 2. what happened right before → enter as if you just got news
- 3. movement with purpose → step closer to apply pressure
- 6. high/low power dynamic → sit back vs lean in
- 7. facts of world/relationship → “We’re siblings, it’s midnight.”
- 9. what’s really meant → say “I’m fine” while meaning “I’m hurt.”
- 11. respond, don’t recite → repeat their last word, then answer
- 12. recall sensory detail → remember cold air to create shiver
- 16. where you look changes meaning → avoid gaze to show shame
- 18. let thought happen → breathe before the key line
