Acting

I would like to learn how to act. I feel like learning how to act will help me develop my skills as a writer, and director. The more I can experiment with the art of facial expression, and facial modification the more I feel like I can direct and tell people how i want things done. Directing in the past has not been too difficult but i would like to achieve a more powerful performance from my film. I have a film i want to get done this summer which is more performance based than visuals which will be a dramatic change for me.
