Tip of the Month –    Justify  But I.mp3.mp3 
Total Running Time:  8:33

Do you direct while being directed?
- Jane Jacobs shares one of the most valuable tips you can learn – Don’t direct while you’re being directed!
- Justifying your choices – Make your choices but be adaptable to change them.  The director is in charge, not you!
- Shut Up, I know what you want – Let them finish their direction before your perform
- The Director is paid to tell you what to do – Do your job - Act?
- Listen in your personal life too – If you’re interrupting, you’re not listening
- Why do we care about your choices? – the reasons aren’t important, it’s all in the results
- Get the But out of it – Listen, respond and adapt
- Ruined takes over feedback – talking over direction may ruin a great take.

Take care
All our best
Deb Munro & The Mic ‘n’ Me Team
