QUESTION 3) How can i make my acting more interesting and not DRY TOAST!!! How can i get that extra 'something' to make my performance SHINE!!!! WHAT MAKES A MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE??? Thank you indeed!! :D The answer to all your questions is outside of you. In other words, be open to feedback. Especially feedback from strangers who have no interest in buttering you up. "How do you know if you are talented and can act very well?" You don't. Not by yourself, anyway. You know only if people want to see you act. Is that tough to make happen? You bet. There are NO shortcuts to success, onstage or off, no matter what anyone says. "QUESTION 2) How can the 'eyes' have it, when you are acting?" If you're looking at yourself in the mirror, you're out of the acting ambit. Acting has acquired the unfortunate tag of artificiality, where it is presumed that the performer isn't really feeling what she is portraying. The truth is, unless the actor feels it, it can't be authentically portrayed. The eyes WILL have it when the actor feels it. "QUESTION 3) How can i make my acting more interesting and not DRY TOAST!!!" Delve deep into the acting experience. Go on stage. Fail. Go again. Fail again. Keep doing that until you get it right. The stage is unforgiving of failures but hugely rewarding to those who keep trying, nevertheless. So fail, lick your wounds, try again, lick your wounds, try again... and again. When theatre sees that you just won't give up, it will open its doors and you'll never look back again. Too LONG!! Sorry i am going out 2 c JUMPER!! Hayden Christensen is sooo HOT!!! 1. when u are sure that you can portray any character and be completely in character. making people believe that you are that character and not an actor... 2..i cant explain it 3. i wish i could tell u..but what makes a memorable performance is something u do in a performance that every one remembers it can be a number of things 1. The only clue to your ability is the size of the roles you are getting cast in. You cannot tell anything my acting in front of a mirror. How can you act if you are busy looking at yourself? You can't. To tell the difference between good acting and bad acting you have to have a set of priciples to go by, (Learn these in my free book)> 2. The eyes indeed do have it when it comes to acting. You have to be able to feel what your eyes are communicating. The deeper your feel, the more your eyes will reveal. 3. Knowledge and energy. YOu have to know what acting is (you obviously do not) and you have act with energy. 4. For a memorable performance I would return to the principles of an affective performance. The stronger they are met by the actor, the better chance the performance is memorable. I've myself am part of Ford Agencies and it didn't just come by luck. It cost money and skills. I've auditioned many times before. I'm fully qualify to answer. I've appeared in an International Commercial for Coca Cola and I'm a model. I modelled for Abercrombie, american eagle, bebe, Gap, Gawzilla Fashion and you get the point? Anyhow... QUESTION 1) Well, the best way to know is by filming yourself while reading out loud part of a story with a speech. Questions 2) It's really the eyebrow that give you the look from questioning to a smile and stuff. Though you can put on eyeliner and mascara to make you look beautiful question 3) You can cry or do back flips anytime ;) or try setting off fire or mini fireworks. Good luck 1. when u walk on stage/about to practice and you are so into the character that u walk off stage and wonder where your'e at, or completely lose track of time when practicing, and u can just feel that u did a good job, not just 'o i practice a lot' but 'i dont practice much but i know i've accomplished something' 2. i know u narrow ur eyes when u r mad/evil but arent showing fear, big when shocked, and just normal when normal 3.wow. dry toast must be an england term, never heard that before! but ok i know wut u mean. when u channel your emotions from personal experiences into the part and emotion of your character it will naturally shine |
