We all know Conventional Acting Wisdom says: "to play drunk you just… act not drunk” - but that's a non-action.
If that kind of advice is putting you in your head, this class is for you.
WHAT YOU GET:
A Clear Method for Creating “Drunk” Behavior
The “Mental Game”
- Re-discover your drunk character as a multi-faceted human being who's just trying to get their needs met
- A simple actor-friendly approach to “drunk” as your Character's Tactic for overcoming obstacles
- Endowing “spirits” as the “personality that you drink”
- An Angel-Devil Inner Monologue that raises your stakes
- Throw your character offbalance with Positive Choices creating a dynamic and “daring” rollercoaster ride
-
Unlock the connection between the “drink” and key truths about your character hidden in your script
Physical Techniques

CAN'T WAIT?
BOOK A PRIVATE ZOOM SESSION WITH SUE TODAY!
This is your invitation to a unique and completely versatile approach to drunk acting-impediment work.
Every private session and group class offers an array of tools that mix easily together to create unique, effective, fun-to-play and memorable choices, for any character in any situation.
The MIND-BODY-SPIRITSSSSS technique combines modules in movement, breath, linguistics, improvisation, archetypes, and neuropsychology to create organic instant shift state changes - they work like the gear shift in your car to slide you easily from sober to very drunk and back again..
Get actor-friendly tools and tricks (that really work). This Proven Method fills you with confidence, empowers you with compelling choices - and enriches your characters with presence and potency.
“Drunk” is not a grace note - it's a portal to a world of rich and dangerous character choices that can radically enhance your approach to acting and storytelling, no matter who you're playing.
One of the coolest things about this work, is the more inebriated you appear.. the more centered, grounded, in control, and laser focused you actually become. It's an incredible illusion and very useful tool for all acting work.
EVERYONE LOVES GETTING “DRUNK” WITH SUE!!
