JAKARTA - Derry Drajat has taken a big role in Indonesian acting. The man who was born on August 8, 1969 has starred in 5 films and 38 soap operas since 1996. Of course this is not an easy achievement for Derry.

His abilities as an actor and host makes him easy to get into all kinds of jobs in entertainment. Only singing was never done by Derry as a profession.

Apparently, not only acting, Derry is now also busy sharing his experiences and abilities. Derry claims to be a teacher now.

""I'm still involved with a production that will air soon and other activities of my teaching routine. Mr. Teacher. So my subject matter is public speaking and acting method," he said when met in Gandaria City, some time ago.

The pandemic did not make him die of lice, learning continued even though it was admitted that it was not optimal. "It's still running. Online. Even though the online method is actually not quite right, because this method is 90% continuous practice," he explained.

According to him, public speaking and acting methods are very important for those who want to be serious about acting. "Speaking of acting is an actor, so how do we learn to be good at communicating, we use the learning method of an actor," he said.

Derry emphasized that an actor must master at least 5 things in his work. "One he has the power of concentration, the second he has a wealth of emotions, the third he has the power of imagination, the fourth he must have excellent vocal quality and the fifth he must have body flexibility," he said.

"So imagine a speaker when we speak in public, we make a presentation, we are strong in concentration when we speak, we have a wealth of emotions, the speech is not monotonous, so interesting. Third, we also have the power of imagination, so those who listen are as if seeing events. Fourth, we convey with good articulation because the vocal quality is excellent and when we speak we are not there," continued Derry.

With the science of acting, one can simultaneously improve communication skills. "Yes, it's an acting method that allows people to be more skilled at communicating," he said.

If you master the science of communication, the power of concentration can be suppressed. "In average, people's difficulties in communicating are always the first reason being nervous, nervous, afraid of being wrong, afraid of being ugly, embarrassed, unsure, not confident. Things that interfere with the power of concentration are lost," he said.

The main problem of communication, said Dery, is concentration. Therefore, through public speaking and acting lessons, Derry wants to emphasize how to maintain concentration.

"Concentration can be learned. Yes, after strong concentration, after we are not afraid of being wrong and ugly, if everything is resolved, we will be confident," he said.

It was not too difficult for him to try out his role as a teacher because his background was education. "My background is from acting education. I am an alumni of IKJ majoring in performing arts, faculty of theater and I took the major in acting," he recalled.

So when speaking of public speaking, Derry believes he can help many people who have difficulty speaking fluently. "Many people find it difficult to present all ideas and ideas. It must be presented because people believe and believe in our ideas, but if communication is hampered, it is difficult," he explained.

That's why Derry Drajat combines acting and public speaking skills in his teaching. "I see that for people to be good at communicating, it turns out that the acting method, the knowledge that actors usually learn to apply to the world of communication, is easier, easier, and people learn faster and even learn to be happier, more fun, easier to digest, and more communicative. so hurry up," he said confidently.

Invention of Public Speaking with Acting Method.

Apart from being an actor and teacher, Derry Drajat is also a motivator. This time, Derry accidentally got his knowledge.

"So initially it was more or less around 2015-2016, there was a friend who gave me a ticket, a ticket for a motivator seminar about the key to success and the key to success in a five-star hotel," he recalls.

"'Der, I've already bought the ticket, I've already bought it,' if I'm not mistaken, he bought 4 million tickets. "What?" "Yes, there is a motivational seminar on the key to success and the key to success. I can't. If I'm not mistaken, you can't because you have to go out of town, it's a shame if you don't use it," continued Derry.

Unexpectedly from that accidental meeting, Derry got new knowledge. He studied more deeply about communication science.

"It was an event from 8 in the morning until the afternoon. At the ballroom table, we listen to a motivator. How he explains in detail and is structured so easily if we use this method for success," he explained.

Derry admitted that he was amazed as a participant at that time. But after leaving the room he got a different reality.

"I tried to see the other participants. In everyday life, it turns out that it is difficult to apply it when the body is not ready. How do people want to present when they are still being followed by nervousness and nervousness. Feeling unsure, if they speak unclear articulation, their concentration is weak, they never deal with many people. What if the body is not ready, "he said.

These questions triggered Derry to try out a combination of acting and communication. According to him, the unpreparedness of the body can be overcome by acting.

"To prepare the body so that it is ready, the acting method is the fastest. For people who are weak in concentration, in acting class, there is a lesson on how we have strong concentration. he insisted.

From that experience, Derry then analyzed, observed, and with experiences became a method of teaching public speaking with an acting method.

"So public speaking with the acting method, we don't want to learn acting, not actors, but a quick way for us to be good at communication. Because communication is the number one key to success," he said.

Communication is like a bridge to success. Because when asked what people want in general the answer is success and success.

"What is the key to success? There are top 5 answers. In order to be successful we must be honest human beings - this cannot be ruled out. Number four integrity oh put that aside, number three what? Responsibility. We are responsible, we become successful humans this is put aside too . Two disciplines. Number one what? Communication," he said.

Derry Drajat is not stingy in sharing knowledge. According to him, the public speaking with acting method is not only needed by chords.

"If we are good at communication, of course it will be easier for us to achieve success and success. But how can we achieve success? With public speaking with acting methods," he concluded.
