"Comic timing... is how to have a relationship with the camera and deal with the camera without looking like you are"

- Colleen Haskell

About this Quote

Comic timing is an important skill for actors to have when performing in front of a cam. It is the capability to know when to pause, when to speed up, and when to decrease in order to produce the wanted comical impact. It is also the ability to interact with the cam in a natural method, without looking like you are trying too difficult or being too stiff. It is a delicate balance in between being natural and being funny. Comic timing needs an understanding of the electronic camera and how it works, along with an understanding of the audience and what they will find funny. It is a skill that takes practice and experience to master, but when done correctly, it can make an efficiency truly unforgettable.
