Answer 1

To recite scripts you need to memorize! Remember to become your character. If your character is having conflict with someone else imagine that someone is a person you personally have a conflict with and let all of that feeling out! show the people who are watching you that you feel the same way your character does.

I joined theater not just at school but at a performing arts academy outside of school because I have a huge passion for it. I'm not the best out there but I love it so much. It is a fun way to express yourself and to escape from my everyday life.

While on stage it can be really hard dealing with everyone's eyes are on you. just remember that everyone came because they wanted to, no one forced them to come, unless they are a little 3 year old who didn't have a choice cause mom couldn't find some one to babysit. People come to see a performance to find entertainment, and to support those in the show. No one will think bad of you unless you did something to make them dislike you. remember the audience is your support.

Mmkay...

1. Remember these two basics when reciting scripts:

First read it and try to understand it--that way it won't be too hard to memorize it. When doing hard scripts like shakespear...this helps a lot!

Second, once you have read it and actually understand what you're trying to say, put character in your voice. Ask yourself this: Who is this character?

Once you've got these two basics down...then you're pretty much good to go. Practice your scripts over and over, and remember the two basics!

2. I've always loved acting. Don't join drama because it's a fad or whatever, or you think you "have what it takes to reach fame..." NO. do it because you actually like it. Not because you're trying to be a celebrity.

3. 3 ways that I got rid of nervousness:
-Practice infront of people. Take beginning drama classes to get you warmed up. Then take the harder levels of drama once you're comfortable.
-Take a deep breath. EVEN when your onstage. I remember the first time I actually performed infront of a lot of people. I was aware that my voice was shaking when I was talking, so when the audience did not notice--I took deep breaths, and acted. somehow it worked!
- Stop caring about what everyone thinks. If you think so and so movement would work for your character do it. Even if you feel stupid, it looks good. CONFIDENCE is what really makes a performance worth watching.

Good luck if your planning to take drama! I'm sure you'll love it!

Answer 3

when it comes to reciting scripts the most basic thing you can do is memorize it. really try and feel the emotion of the scene and find out background information on the play to help you really get into character. whenever i have a new script i study it whenever i can. going over the script with a partner (who will be honest and tell you if you're bad) will also help.
when i get nervous i just shake the nerves out of my. and maybe letting out a small scream. i had to do a scene with a uber hot guy and it was semi-romantic. the more i practiced it by myself the more comfortable i was. the nerves of not knowing your lines went away because i knew them. the only nerve-racking thing was having to do the blocking. =]
i joined my drama class because of i love acting. it's a great way to express yourself and it opens up your cultural awareness and helps you gain self-confidence. there is also something so undescrible about being up on stage. =]

Blocking is the movement onstage

Answer 4

For me it's all about breaking each line down to an emotion and memorizing. Also, I'm a visual learner so I see the lines on paper in the order they go and if you're in a scene with another person you learn to play off their words. I joined that class on a hunch and a year later I was hooked. Right before I go out on stage I close my eyes and just breathe then when I hear my cue I open my eyes as my character and go! No holding back, no fear. It's just a zone that I go into. =)

Answer 5

It's about using your nervous energy in the character. Don't fight the nervousness, just use it. Don't try to justify why you are nervous, or what might happen. Just let it be there and use it. The voice in your head, use that too. Be the character offstage nervous, not you about to perform.

Messing up isn't messing up. Just be the character and stay in character. Humans don't know what to say sometimes, and your character can forget too. It's okay.

If you're in a supportive class or ensemble, no one is going to think you're messing up. It's a collaborative workshop where it's okay to feel weird. Go with it
