Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I was Belle once - best part ever and ive played in lots of stuff

Bellle starts off carefree, a bookworm, and curious about life outside her little town and annoyed at the life in it!.

PLAY IT LIKE!.!.!.you are looking dreamy when reading and look abrupt when you are staring about your town!. Be polite and feminine to show the audience you deserve your name

Belle then becomes very self concious about who she is and why her town doesnt accept her

PLAY IT LIKE!.!.!.you talk to your father in a worried an a conserved manner, not fully relieved at the end of the song even though he assures you he is not odd

Belle is constantly trying to escape from Gustaus grasp

PLAY IT LIKE!.!.!.you are entirely uninterested in him, not at all charmed in his ways, try to decline him politely but when he insists you are the one act very uncomfortable make your feelings aparent and humorous

Belle searches for her father

PLAY IT LIKE!.!.!.just act frightened, audience loves a femenine main character

Belle enters the mansion

PLAY IT LIKE!.!.!.you are curious but no less frigtened at theis place, and you want to know more but still have your missing father on your mind

Belle finds out about her father and is intimidated by the Beast

PLAY IT LIKE!.!.!.you are overwhelemed and frightened by this character, and revolted at his hideous appearence!. Be noble and brave when fighting for your father but at "Home" appear weak and helpless but still curious

I will leave you there to give you a head start!.!.!.i cant be Belle for you!.!.!.but this should help you understand up to a certain point the characteristics of Belle

GOOD LUCK!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I see Belle as sort of the ultimate "good girl!." Even though it is mostly stressed that she is very beautiful and very smart, above all she is kind-hearted!. So just keep in mind that you have to truly believe in everything you're doing - like, when she begins to fall for the Beast, don't just play it like "oh, actually, I love him now" - make it clear that she sees the good in everyone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
