Acting Tips
We've added our second piece of information.
Memorization. That ubiquitous source of consternation in actors and
actresses everywhere. Find some techniques that we've used for
getting those lines committed to memory
Our initial piece of informaiton: Characterization. Any of you who have performed in a
play will know that the only information that is given about your
character is what is absolutely necessary for the action of the
play. However, every person has had a past...whether it is 3 months
or 100 years...everyone has events that have made them the person that
they are during the play. The decisions you make about your
characters "BACKSTORY" will very likely be different that anyone
else's decisions about the same character...that's one of the things that
makes theatre so marvelous. Here is a list of some questions or
prompts you can use to develop a character who is a living, breathing
human being rather than a stiff, one-dimensional caricature or, sometimes
even worse, a stereotype.
