Question: Are there some good acting tips and exersises(10 points best answer)!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
When you're onstage!.!.!.
Posture is important, unless you have a character who slouches!.
Project your voice!
Don't break character!. Ever!.

At an audition!.!.!.
Smile and speak up!.
Choose character- and age-appropriate pieces!.
Act confident and professional!.
DON'T fidget!. That goes for absolutely ANY time you're onstage, but esp!. auditions!.

At home!.!.!.
Practice your part in front of a mirror!.
Imagine!. If you were the character, how would you feel!? How would you react to the given situations!? Try not to think like yourself when you practice your lines!.
Make markings in the margins of your script!. Highlight your lines!. (Make blocking notes at rehearsal)!.
Try to put yourself in situations where you would have the same emotional reactions as your character!. This will help you remember how your body feels when you feel that way--for example, if your character is near tears, you might feel your face getting all hot!.

Those are just a few things!. Hope they help :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would suggest reading either
Sanford Meisner on Acting or
The Art Of Acting

They will give you a good idea of not only exercises that you could do, but also how they actually should work and what an acting teacher would be looking to help you accomplish!.
