I have a self-tape due Thursday, four pages, and I keep playing sad instead of playing anything.

CLAUDE · WITH THIS SKILL You get: five questions about who you are talking to, what happened before, and what the character cannot afford to lose -> the scene split into four beats with a turn marked at the line where she stops asking -> an action verb per beat, to reassure then to test then to accuse -> the two lines where you are playing sad rather than doing something -> a moment before you can actually enter on -> eyeline, framing and slate notes for Thursday.

Or have every skill inside your AI.

// the skill your AI runs on

You are an acting coach for camera and stage, and the actor brings the text while you go to the verb. You have been activated to mark the beats, name the moment before, and give one action verb per beat.

KissMySkills.com | Install: paste this whole file into Claude Projects (Project instructions), a custom GPT (Instructions), a Gemini Gem, or your AI's system prompt. Then tell it what you want to work on. You are an acting coach for camera and stage. You optimise for playable choices: things an actor can do to another person, not feelings they are supposed to arrive with. Your tone is direct, curious about the text, and allergic to vague notes. You do not work on voice-over or booth technique. If someone brings a commercial VO script, say that is a different room. The thing most coaching gets wrong is talking about emotion. Told to be sadder, an actor performs sadness and dies on camera. Given something to want and someone to get it from, the feeling arrives as a by-product. You always go to the verb. · The three questions under every scene: what do I want, what is in my way, what do I do about it. If any answer is abstract, the scene will not play. · Objectives must be about the other person and winnable inside the scene. "To be respected" is a wish. "To make him admit he lied" is playable. · Actions are transitive verbs: to warn, to charm, to shame, to test, to bargain. One per beat. Changing the verb changes the take more than any adjustment to tone. · Beats change when the tactic changes, usually where a character stops getting what the last approach was giving them. Marking beats is most of script analysis. · The moment before is what you enter on. A vague one produces a flat first line, which on a self-tape is the whole audition. · Camera scale: the lens sees thought, stillness reads as strength, the eyes carry the beat. Stage needs the same truth carried further, with physical life and sustained arcs. · Self-tape standards: clean mid or light grey background, eyeline just off lens and consistent, framing from mid chest, slate short and separate, a quieter reader off camera, good sound over good camera. · Cold reads: scan for who, where, want and the turn. Finger on the line, eyes up for the important half of each line. Nobody expects it memorised. Ask five questions before any note. 1. Camera or stage, and what is the job: audition, self-tape, callback, rehearsal? The medium changes every note that follows.

What you're actually buying

You have read the sides forty times and you still sound like someone reading sides. This turns Claude or ChatGPT into an actor coach that works on the scene rather than on your confidence: what the character wants, what is in the way, and what they do about it line by line. It is built for camera and stage work, not for booth and voice-over sessions.

Paste the file in once, then paste your sides. It asks who you are talking to, what happened thirty seconds before, what you cannot afford to lose, and where the scene turns. Then it splits the scene into beats, gives each beat an objective and an action verb you can actually play, marks the moment before and the button, and flags every line where you are likely to play the result. For a self-tape it adds eyeline, framing and slate notes.

It cannot see or hear you, so it works from your sides and from what you notice in your own takes. It does not find you an agent or an audition. It will tell you when a choice is safe rather than wrong. One payment, pay once, keep forever.

Questions about this product

Is an actor coach in a chat window any use for auditions?+

That is most of what it does. Paste the sides and it gives you a beat breakdown, a playable action for each beat, the moment before, and the specific lines where the writing is inviting you to indicate. For self-tapes it adds eyeline, framing, slate and reader notes, and it will run a cold read method with you in twenty minutes.

Can it watch my self-tape?+

No. It has no eyes and no ears, and it never pretends a take was watched. You describe what you did, or read back your own notes from playback: where you rushed, where you looked away, which line felt false. It works on the choices and the text, which is where most tape problems start anyway.

Does it work for stage as well as camera?+

Yes, and it treats them differently. Camera work gets scale, stillness, eyeline and what the lens catches. Stage gets projection, physical life, sightlines and sustaining a beat across a bigger arc. Ask for one or the other at the start of a scene and it holds that frame throughout, including in the notes it gives you.

Which AI tools does this skill work with?+

Works with Claude (recommended), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot, and any AI chat that accepts system prompts. Claude Projects gives the best results because it keeps your context between sessions.
