Be open-minded
Be open on the ideas that everyone is telling you. Always try on different approaches on how you introduce your character to the audience. Listen to the instructors guide on the way you will make your gestures and the right timing of showing it. Then apply it on the next play your class would do. During the presentation allow yourself to be directed by the teacher. Do not try to argue on the new techniques they may suggest to you. Your classmates will definitely help you be the best actor you can be. San Diego Acting Schools give these kinds of workshops for the future use of the students.
