Question: How to play a nice person in acting!?

Hey,
I am very serious in acting, but I can never play the nice hero girl! I always play the mean person, and when I try to play a nice person, I sound mean! How can I learn to play a sweet, nice person!? Any tips!? Any other acting tips would be great! Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nice!?

Nice is boring!. Nobody wants to come see a play about a nice person!. ZZzzz!. Conflict is the essence of Drama!.

Are you really good, and convincing, as the mean person!? Way to go! Villains are tough to play realistically!. Most actors fall in to the "bwahahaha!" trap!. All villains are heroes, in their own minds!.

How do you succesfully portray a "nice" person!? Nothing simpler!. Pitch your voice a couple of notes higher, and be constantly amazed at how lucky you are to be living in such a world!. Remember to actively listen to the other characters!.

Come to think of it, that last sentence is good advice regardless of your character!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

First, think high pitched talking girl who likes skipping in flower fields!. Think about how you would ask your mom for something really expensive!. Would you say, MOM, YOU ARE GOING TO BUY ME THIS AND YOU ARE GONNA LIKE IT, or will you act all sweet and innocent and think of a cute way to ask!. Hope this helps, and good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Use your imagination and pretend that you are surrounded by people that like you for who you are and thus you are nice to them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
