Retired international footballer applies for neurosurgery position. Only qualification: played doctors and nurses as a kid. Gets the job because of her profile. Absurd for medicine. Normal for acting. Anyone with fame can wake up calling themselves a ‘professional actor’ with zero systematic training. Profile and luck beat knowledge every time. The Science of Acting treats acting like a real profession - extensive intellectual training required. Profile and luck are irrelevant. Knowledge, understanding, and fulfilment are everything. This completes my 5-part series on what makes The Science of Acting different: 1. Art + Science (Da Vinci approach) 2. Studies Thinking systematically 3. Precise Definitions for all terms 4. Knowledge vs Opinion-based training 5. Real Profession, not fame game Which one resonated most? Comment below and subscribe for systematic acting training.

Retired Footballer Becomes Brain Surgeon (This Happens in Acting Every Day!) #actortraining #acting
'It lacked passion and commitment’ vs ‘I found it riveting, so much happening beneath’ - two drama tutors watching the same performance, giving completely opposite feedback. So should I do more… or less? This is normal in drama training. Subjective opinions presented as teaching. Personal, changing day to day, never explained or accounted for. It leaves students confused, insecure, and dangerously reliant on others’ approval. The Science of Acting is built on opinions based on knowledge, not personal feelings. Using objective points of reference, exactly what works in a performance is identified how to improve it, precisely explained. Students don’t rely on shifting opinions - they have knowledge to judge their own work and build skill independently. This is #4 in my 5-part series on what makes The Science of Acting different.

When Drama Tutors Give Opposite Feedback on the Same Performance #actortraining #acting #actors
Submit to the moment and add a touch of Scottish mist’ - actual direction I’ve seen given. Everyone nodded like they understood. I had no idea what it meant. Neither did the director. This happens constantly in rehearsals. Vague terminology, everyone pretending to understand, actors always guessing if they’re doing what’s wanted. Imagine if engineers, doctors, or lawyers all defined key terms differently. Chaos. No profession, just confusion. Same with acting. The Science of Acting defines every term precisely - Imagination, Attention, Purpose, Character, Emotion. Ask 100 actors to define emotion, get 100 answers. The Science of Acting? ‘An emotion is the biophysiological result of a thought.’ One definition. Simple. Precise. Professional.

There’s one thing above all else that must be studied in order to create a character - but it’s ignored by almost every acting technique. It’s criminal! Leonardo da Vinci studied anatomy, light, perspective - everything that would help him create paintings that resembled life. If we’re creating characters that resemble life, shouldn’t we study what actually makes us human? The way we think - both conscious and subconscious - dictates how we speak, move, feel, and react. Yet most acting techniques completely ignore in-depth study of human thinking. The Science of Acting is the only technique I know that includes comprehensive study of human consciousness and provides a structured approach to applying that understanding to create unforgettable characters. This is #2 in my 5-part series on what makes The Science of Acting different. I’m Philip Lambert - 35 years professional actor (The Dark Knight, 28 Weeks Later, lead roles in features 2026) and 25+ years teaching The Science of Acting.

Every Acting Technique Ignores This One Critical Thing (It’s Criminal) #actortraining #acting
People get upset when I say ‘Science of Acting.’ But the greatest artist who ever lived - Leonardo da Vinci - saw no separation between art and science. He studied anatomy, perspective, light and shadow scientifically to create the most accurate representation of life. Shouldn’t actors do the same? This is #1 in a 5-part series exploring what makes The Science of Acting different from any other technique. ‘To develop a complete mind: Study the science of art; Study the art of science.’ - Leonardo da Vinci I’m Philip Lambert - 35 years as a professional actor (The Dark Knight, 28 Weeks Later, lead roles in features releasing 2026) and 20+ years teaching The Science of Acting. 5 Things That Make The Science of Acting Different From Any Other Technique; No.2 coming soon.. all about thinking and why any acting technique worth its salt needs to include the in-depth study of it.

'Acting is Art, Not Science!'... Leonardo da Vinci Would Disagree. #acting #actortraining #actor
Most acting training focuses on the visible; what can be seen, what is shown, voice and movement. But what about the invisible thinking that’s actually influencing that visible behaviour? Thoughts in your subconscious affect everything you do in life, so it must be the case for the characters we create too. In this video, I’ll prove to you that invisible thinking ie. the subconscious runs your life and show you why any acting technique that ignores this is fundamentally incomplete. I’m Philip Lambert - 35 years as a professional actor with credits including The Dark Knight, 28 Weeks Later, West End musicals, and lead roles in features releasing 2026. I’ve spent over 20 years teaching The Science of Acting, a systematic approach that comprehensively addresses the subconscious as central to creating characters that live as we do in life.

The Hidden Force Controlling Your Acting (And Your Life). #actor #acting #actinglife #actingtips
At 19, when my teacher Sam Kogan asked me to sit up straight in class, I thought his Science of Acting technique was complete BS. What I didn’t understand then was how posture influences thinking - and how the most beautiful acting requires knowledge and conscientious work, not the mystique of unfathomable talent. I learned more about acting in 30 hours with Sam than in the rest of my three-year drama course combined. But I wasn’t ready to accept that real fulfillment comes from systematic work rather than impressive mystique. So I left The Science of Acting behind. It took 10 years working in the industry to realize my mistake. I’m Philip Lambert - actor and teacher of The Science of Acting, a systematic approach to understanding consciousness and creating characters that live on stage and in front of the camera as we do in life.

I Called This Acting Technique BS at 19 (Biggest Mistake of My Career) #acting #actortraining
Most acting training ignores the most important element of performance: your subconscious (or as it is called in The Science of Acting - Invisible Thinking). This video explains what it is and why understanding it is essential for actors who want to master their craft systematically rather than rely on mystique.
