ACTING!!help!!!!?

Question

I need acting tips and advice

Answer 1

Any way you can add more details?

Answer 2

Depends on your age. If you're an adult, take some classes at the nearest college or try out for a community theater production. Even if you're just in the chorus, you can watch and learn.

If you're still a kid, get involved in school plays..any experience you can get will be a chance to learn and develop your talent.

Who knows? Maybe you'll decide it's not for you at all. Or you could get the bug and be able to think of nothing else. You never know...

Answer 3

This sounds cliche' but I believe it to be the soundest advice there is: Always be prepared. You need to know the play backwards and forwards (conveniently, there's a good book by the same name "Backwards and Forwards-"-which will help you on how to read plays. )You need to know about the author of the play you're doing a monologue or scene from, why the author wrote the play, what the title means, what the circumstances are for your character, wants and needs etc. You need to be clear on what place you are in, your surroundings &how your surroundings affect your character. What your character says about himself & others. What others say about your character.You need to research the time period. Above all you need to know your characters objective. What do you want? When doing a scene or monologue, take complete responsibility for all you do, dont make excuses and always be on time. Always have your props & costume prepared. Read Stanislavski, Uta Hagen for how to do prep work and have a good foundation of the classic plays. Read Shakespeare,Chekhov, Ibsen, Strindberg and Moliere. (When reading Chekhov, the definitive translation is by Eugene K Bristow.) All this I've mentioned is basic actor knowledge. Good luck

Answer 4

Take some classes. You arent going to learn to be an actor on Yahoo answers. I have been studying acting for 5 years and it is still very challenging. Especially the audition process.

Answer 5

Well, as an actress. Just kidding. Seriously though, do NOT imitate movies. If you watch POINT BREAK and you try out for Romeo and Juliet, chances are you are not playing the right character. Your best approach is to research your role and do it as you see fit. That's my advice.

Answer 6

Instead of acting LIKE the character, BE THE CHARACTER AND EVERYTHING WILL COME TO YOU. TRUST ME I DO IT AND IT'S AMAZING!!! I was never able to make myself cry until I actually was the character in the situation and the tears came on!!!

Answer 7

When you are acting a character, think to yourself, what does this character want in the scene?

Try to turn that want into an actable verb such as, he/she wants to push away, he/she wants to run.

Focus on these verbs, and get into character.
