Actors/actresses? Oh boy. Here we go. 'Get my tea ready for exactly 4 o'clock and at 121 degrees (F) (about 49 degrees C) and don't forget to massage my big toe.' Just kidding. However, I am sure that is kinda-of what Hollywood is like.
Working with performers is like dealing with little children. You have to spell out everything for them to get the acting that you need for the sake of the film. Not trying to be insulting to actors/actresses, but that is just how I see things from a director perspective.
Anyway, the best thing to remember is constant validation. Keep reminding your actors/actresses on set that they are doing a good job. Actually, remember that for your crew as well. If your actors/actresses or anyone on set makes a mistake, don't yell at them or assault them. It's unprofessional and childish.
Finally, be sure to feed your crew, do table reads with them, and avoid saying just 'more' and that's it. More what? You need to finish your sentence. Anyway, I have linked below a video made by RocketJump. That should help you.
