Edutainment App Launch Video Press Release Script

Whatever our role in life, we are almost certainly likely to be working with other people at some point and it can be very important to understand what makes people tick. Salespeople and marketers, for example, need to understand what people might be thinking and how they might react to certain words and phrases or propositions.
Another example is acting. Actors need to be in tune with the audience to portray the right emotions at the right times. Not only do actors need to be skilled in hitting the target emotionally, but writers and directors also need to make sure that their creations have the &lsquo;human&rsquo; touch; that people can relate to them and feel the same emotions that characters are feeling.
This is where the role of an acting coach comes in. We spoke with well-respected acting coach Kru Ngor Rossukon about acting, and how it can give you an advantage when it comes to understanding people.
<h2>Learning to Understand People</h2>
Kru Ngor told us that one of the biggest challenges she faces is when writers, producers, or actors have difficulty understanding human nature. These people will often have lives that are going smoothly and have never been in the shoes of somebody who is struggling. The result is characters and situations that audiences cannot relate with, causing the audience to put up mental barriers and disconnect with the characters.
Kru Ngor tells us that although many people believe acting involves wearing a mask &ndash; it actually involves removing a mask you&rsquo;re already wearing.
Actors need to learn to examine their own actions and motivations. They need to become honest about their own behaviors and once they&rsquo;ve achieved this, they can begin to learn more about themselves and other people. It&rsquo;s not so much that actors need to fake being somebody else when playing a character, but more that they need to truthfully portray that character in certain situations and this involves learning how to understand people.
These skills can be applied to life away from acting in numerous ways, including:
<h2>Seeing Different Perspectives</h2>
Acting encourages us to look deeper into other peoples&rsquo; lives and experiences. It helps us to see that many people do have very different lives from us and that their experiences are likely to give them different perspectives to our own. Acting effectively helps us to see the world through other people&rsquo;s eyes, and understand why and how they might have different thoughts to us on certain subjects. It can be so authentic that some actors need to &lsquo;de-role&rsquo; after performing, while studies have also shown that the brain behaves differently when people are in character.
Being able to see different perspectives can be very beneficial to us when it comes to certain real-life situations. For example, it might help us to close a deal, or settle a customer. Being able to see things from a different perspective might also help with disagreements in relationships, and help make relationships a lot more pleasant and enjoyable for all parties.
<h2>Listening</h2>
Too many of us are guilty of not actually listening to what other people are saying to us. It can be all so easy for us to develop pre-conceptions of what people are likely to say or think, and act on those instead of what is really being said. Actors, however, are trained to listen more closely so they can learn how to understand people. They are also taught to look for mannerisms and behavioral clues that might tell them about a person&rsquo;s emotional state.
Listening properly helps to significantly improve peoples&rsquo; communications skills. Reading body language also helps actors to understand people better than they would otherwise be able to, adding a further boost to their ability to communicate with other people. Enhanced communication skills can help us improve many aspects of our lives including personal and professional relationships, while we will also become a lot more skilled at problem-solving.
<h2>Self Confidence</h2>
It takes nerves to get up on a stage and act in front of other people and just the thought of doing so will be nerve-racking to a lot of people. The more somebody gets used to being in front of an audience, however, the more they will get used to it and their self-confidence will gradually grow. Even otherwise timid people can eventually begin to come out of their shells.
Confidence isn&rsquo;t only beneficial for actors &ndash; it is also beneficial in other areas of life. Gaining confidence in social situations will help improve a lot of people&rsquo;s quality of life, while it can also encourage people to go for professional opportunities they might otherwise have passed on. Although confidence needs to be tempered with a degree of modesty, it&rsquo;s something that can help people succeed.
<h2>Adaptability</h2>
Actors need to be flexible. Not only do they need to be able to transform themselves into new characters, but they often also need to be able to adapt to situations in real-time as they develop. They will often need to think quickly and improvise or adapt to feedback and these are skills that take practice to perfect &ndash; and acting provides the opportunity to practice. This adaptability can be very useful in other areas of life, such as when something doesn&rsquo;t go to plan at work. While everybody else is panicking and not sure of what to do, actors can put their adaptability skills into practice to help ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
<h2>Summary</h2>
Acting is a skill that&rsquo;s developed over many years in most cases, but it&rsquo;s not only beneficial on the stage. The skills that an actor will learn can also be helpful in other aspects of life and can help with personal and professional relationships. Even if acting lessons don&rsquo;t take you to Hollywood or even get you on TV, they can teach you how to understand people in ways that will help you succeed in life.

How Acting Can Teach Us About Other People

Music is a universal language and it's unique to each individual. My music language has no rigid rules. I use my feelings, understanding, imagination, and experiences to work on my pieces of music.
<h2>The Secrets to Becoming a Master Director of Music</h2>
Hello, I am Neung Jakkawal. A Pianist, Commentator and Music Director
[NEUNG JAKKAWAL - MUSIC DIRECTOR]
&nbsp;
<h2>The Role of Music Director</h2>
Many don't know what a music director does. A music director has to see the whole picture of the piece of work or a concert, from start to finish. From song selection, song positioning, and arrangements So that each song is interesting and impressive for the audience.
Today, I will share what it means to be a music director and suggestions on how to create something outstanding and unique, for all music enthusiasts.
<h2>My First Notes</h2>
When I started to play music, I didn't even have money to learn it. I learned from my dad. Dad was my first teacher. He would sing for me and say this is the sound of music. Then he would ask me to try drumming with him. I used anything I could find, water bottles, a clothes basket, plates, and bowls. I arranged them in a row and drummed.
My dad would then teach me the patterns of rhythms like 'Beguine', 'Cha-Cha-Cha', or 'Bolero'. They were the folks' rhythms. That was how I learned. I did this every day and night because we didn't have any toys at home. Our house had nothing to boast about.
<h2>Music is My Life</h2>
After I had been able to play music, my dad set up a folk band for me to gain experience. The only three instruments were drum, bass, and organ. We played at housewarming ceremonies, top-knot cutting ceremonies, temple fairs, or friends' birthday parties.
I continued gathering experience. Until one day, I had this urge to try playing various types of music in a day.
<h2>Towards Becoming a Professional Musician</h2>
And when I had more experience from playing all kinds of music, I had an idea of sharing this with the general public. I wanted to let the public decide whether the songs we play or ideas we have can be successful. So I started rearranging and covering songs from various artists. I changed chords and rhythms. Then I asked people in the band whether they'd like to try them out. And I would write the chords for them.
All in all, it was quite unexpected. People liked and accepted our style of music. This spread by word of mouth from one artist to another, that if they wanted to have a band or to create songs, try letting Neung do it and see how they come about.
<h2>5 Keys to Becoming a Great Music Director</h2>
And today I will share five techniques to make you become a good music director.
<h3>1. Focus on Listening</h3>
Firstly, listening is crucial. If you practice a lot but don't listen, you won't have imaginations or ideas to work or create something new. Here is an example, this is the accordion, the instrument I learned to play as a child. An accordion is a Western instrument if it is played a Western song or style, It will have the Western flair. But if we adapt it to play a Thai traditional song, the tone and method will be different. Here we go. This is from the same instrument, the accordion. If we listen more, we will be able to use our imagination more. We will have ideas how to use our instruments to play various kinds of music or how to apply them to different songs.
<h3>2. Strong Fundamentals Make Strong Solos</h3>
Secondly, a good solo comes from good basics. Practicing the basics slowly, always with the melody. Here is an example. When I practice, I do it very slowly, to see how both hands coordinate. And balance the weight between both hands. We can do a solo with these. Everything comes from practice. Everything I play comes from the basics.
<h3>3. Unleash Your Imagination in Your Work</h3>
Thirdly, imagination is very important. When I work, when I have an idea or an initiative, it is usually the time when I am alone. I have to work alone in a studio. I cannot ask anyone or another musician to be with me all the time.
For example, if I need to work on a chorus, a film's or a series' scores, you will need to realize that these songs mostly use string instruments. You will need to imagine an orchestra in front of you.
Now you see, when you imagine string instruments or an orchestra, you need to balance your sounds, hands, and feelings to be clear how your music will come about.
<h3>4. Bring out the Uniqueness of Artists</h3>
Fourthly, each song and each artist is unique.
A music director needs to be on the same page with an artist. - Let's try doing a folk song out of this. - Yes sure
Start with Li Kay (Thai Musical Folk Drama). Pick a line. Go on. Try it.
♪You are the one I have been waiting for♪
What you may not know is that when you see an artist working on a certain genre or style, they may be different at concerts. You may observe that everyone has their own tricks. So their fans can see that they have broader talent than what we can see on YouTube or CDs. This is how you learn about artists.
<h3>5. Understand Timing with Band Members</h3>
And lastly, what every music director should have is the ability to know the timings of the band. You need to know when is the time for a member to perform. Like this song, the violin is to do a solo, every other instrument needs to quiet down. Even vocalists will follow the music director whether to add anything to a line, or to just have the piano and vocalist.
Hence, we communicate within the band. We share our skills and do not compete. We don't compete for solos.
The most important duty of a music director is to look at the band and strike a balance to make a harmonious piece of music. These are what make a good music director.
For me, it's easy to play an instrument well. The difficult part is how to also create a good image of the band. How to make a vocalist look good. How to make the audience like you. That's hard.
