I Need Help To Prove A Theory

Before I answer the questions, I would just like to say that these are good questions to ask. They really are. 1. For me, I think it depends a bit on the situation. But I would say that I am usually outgoing and sociable. I find it easy to talk to people that I have just met, if opportunity arises. 2. I usually like to just talk a bit with them and hang out a bit. Once the show is over, I think we all need to relax a bit. And so, for me, these actors, technicians, and such are perhaps the better positioned people to relax a bit with, because ultimately, we are in the same boat. I find myself very opened with them, for the most part. 3. Once I get home, I feel good, generally speaking, and happy. 4. When preparing for my character, I try to do a good analysis of the character, the story, the period, motivations, and such. Doing these things will help me enter the character and the character's world, as well as understand as much as I can. I question myself about the character and anything there is to know about this character. 5. For me, it depends on the direction. It has occurred that, if the director suggested that I do a certain movement and it didn't feel natural, for instance, then I might say something. But generally, I don't really. 6. My main focus is on the present, the moment in time that I am on stage delivering my line, and the story. 7. I can't really answer this question, as I haven't really had a scene when I had to cry. I hope that this may be of some help to you.

Hello singout, Long time no speak. I read you discussion on acting, and thought I would give you a response. 1. I use to be very,very, shy, but with God's help I've gotten a little braver in speaking my mind. In my experience, with the little acting that I have done on stage, I have learned that the shyest people are the best or better actors. They have the ability to be any character they need to be on stage in whatever script they read. They kind of step out of themselves and are very good at making believe that they are someone else. Because subconsciously they are not prohibit in character, always wanting to be able to do or be other then themselves. A person who is confident or thinks too highly of themselves then to bring their own personality in the character they are to portrait. And can't be someone else without their personality/or likes or dislikes interfering. 2. The shy person probably is still in character because they enjoy the emotional state of mind the actor brings to them. They feel like they are in more control of the conversations. 3. Some perhaps are still in character after going home because of all rehearsals and the more you're in character the more you are practicing, and perfecting your character. Until you can relax after a long time away from the stage and can be yourself again. 4. I've seen my husband, who happens to be a very good actor, constantly rehearsing and practicing his part till it all comes natural to him and he is that character. 5. You have to be able to take directions from the director or from those who you personally know that are trying to help you and you know what they are talking about that will help you. 6. To make the audience believe that you are truly the person you are portraying without any question. You have to make them feel your character's emotions and purpose for your character in being part of the story. 7. I can, when I need to because I am a very emotional person. I feel other's emotions and get involved in their situations. I know that my husband can when he is on stage and it calls for him to be very emotional, he can cry and also be very mean and evil if it call for it. I just put myself in that person's place and imagine what they must be feeling.
