learn more from animals than humans in life. |
|
The actor starts with a clean canvas -- you are the material
in creating another person with the character's who am I,
what do I feel, what do I want, attitude and mask. |
|
The character is asking these questions, not the actor: |
|
|
who
am I? |
|
what do I feel? |
|
and
what do I want? |
|
Also, find the personal
character's
attitude
toward others, because every
character must have an attitude to make their
individual self. |
| Then
give the character a
mask... |
always
remember people wear a mask. |
|
|
Reading a part, don't believe everything character says:
natural behavior of lying everyday. |
The
face they put on to the world. |
What
is really going on inside the person is what you choose.
What they pretend is only their mask. |
|
However, if you succeed
too well in your mask, there is no drama. |
|
 |
|
Know
what to do with a character even without
lines |
"In the end, it
can't look like acting."
