if you are an actor/actress do you have any type of methods?

Question

?

Answer 1

Metho for what? Memorizing lines, Acting techniques, faking, rememebring cues? Memorizing lines if simple ofr me, I read the script once through, thne I sing it through until I have it down. It helps me alot. For my acting tecniques I just remember that a little goes a long way, and not everyone has the same opinions. For my faking, I just remember to keep my face to the audience, never turn my back or make myself look less inferior. Then for my Remembering Cues, I just do certian rituals that help me rmember what is comin up next. Like for instance before I go on to sing a certian number, I just chuge a waterbottle down everytime, or go out side, to takea breather. SOmething quick that helps me really well is to stand still for a second of two, and really consentrate on what is coming up. One other thing you must know about acting is that, when you are on stage or off stage, that you are sourrounded by people with equal or greater talents then yours, no one is less then you, and if treat some as if then are smaller, then they will not be very nice. All great minds think a like. I hope I helped!!!

Answer 2

Walk into the shoes of the character. Make your lines sound convincing. For example, if you are in a scene where you are arguing with somebody, make it sound like you're arguing in real life (you don't have to over exaggerate just because the scene is full of emotion, or else you will look unconvincing).

Another thing, is "stumbling onstage in character". Don't just walk center stage and then get in character.

Don't let down your facials. Everything from a head turn to the way your eye moves make all the difference. Staring into another character's face or into the audience will make everything else look unconvincing.

I have tons more but can't think right now. Good luck!

Answer 3

methods for memorizing lines? sure. read the script thru with out saying it outloud, and w/o think of how the character would say it. READ THE WHOLE SCRIPT. then read it again silently and think about your characters looks, personalties, and how (s)he would say the line. Dont think of some elses perception of the character. makle it your own. now,with your character in mind, it is easier to memorise it. just opened your mind to anything and you'll be set.
