Acting Class 3

So, last week for acting class we were asked to make up our own characters using a technique of acting.  In this technique, we were supposed to think of a character and answer really in depth questions about them (like where does she work?  what's her favorite color? what's her deepest fear?  what's her favorite memory? etc.) Basically, we were supposed to be thinking like our character to answer the questions.

With these back stories in mind, we came in and told the class a little bit about ourselves (as the character).  Then, we did scenes normally and then with the character we chose in mind.  It was funny to see the difference a  well developed character can make in your acting.  It adds a whole other level to what your feeling and thinking, and subsequently makes your acting better.

So, that's all we did this week, but my blog for next week should be fun (we are doing accents)!

What's your favorite method for acting?

Thanks for reading another blog and tune in again soon!
