A.C.T “A Conscious Thought” Method by Kathy Uyen, is an approach to help not only professional actors, and performers but also every day people to manage their emotions, actions, voice, movement, and speech by using the POWER of A CONSCIOUS THOUGHT.
A.C.T is a step by step breakdown of the human communications and behavior process tracing emotions, actions, voice, movement and speech back to A Conscious Thought. By accepting that our thoughts trigger emotions, behavior, voice and movement, we can consciously focus on a series of new thoughts to change our desired emotion, reactions and behaviors.
