How do I act like Willy Wonka?

Question: How do I act like Willy Wonka!?

I'm trying out for a High school play!. My competition for the part is a very stuck up punk who sings with amazing talent!. He scared the rest of the guys from the part!. I'm the only one left and I really need to capture this part!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Study Gene Wilder's "Wonka!."

(Don't watch the new one!.!.!. Johnny Depp is not Willy Wonka!.)

And work your good points!. You said your competition has amazing singing talent!.!.!.!. what is YOUR big selling point!?

I wouldn't worry too much about your competition!. An excellent voice isn't necessarily what would make a great Willy Wonka, anyway!. In neither movie, did they see any importance in casting someone who was an amazing singer!? That's not what Wonka's about!.

Wonka to me is about someone with a childlike spirit, whimsical, gentle, reassuring, but with a dark side, kind of a wicked sense of humor!. :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

rent both versions of the movie, study, study, study!
Gene Wilder as W!. Wonka (you may have to buy it used on Amazon)
Johnny Depp as W!. Wonka

what do they have in common!?
they're a little goofy, off-beat, odd, eclectic!.!.!. which one would have to be if they were millionaire chocolatiers that leave their empire to a poor, nobody little boy that just happened to win the last golden ticket!.

Use as a subtext that there's something fantastical that you know about that no one else on earth knows you know!. Keep a half-smile, half-smirk on your face at all times and keep in your mind that "I love you but I'm going to eat you later!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Like a couple of others have said study both movies, and also read the book, then try to combine what you like best from all of them!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Study the 2 movies that were made!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
