Theatrics and acting can be a very difficult field, but also
one that is very fun and engaging, as long as you are passionate about it. Many
actors and performers say that the key to being a good actor or actress is all
about how much effort you put into it. While this is true in a lot of cases,
there are ways that you can work smarter, not harder to become a better
performer and wow the crowd. Doing so may require a few small sacrifices of
your time from yourself, but in the end you will feel that it is worth it when
you hear the roar of the crowd as they shower you in praise.
One way to help improve your acting skills phenomenally is
by utilizing method acting techniques. When you are playing a character, you
should ask yourself, who is this person?
What motivates this person to be making the actions that they are making
throughout the production? What part do I play in this world? These are pivotal
questions that you need to ask yourself in order to get into the head of the
character. A good actor or actress doesn’t pretend to be someone, they become
that person. This is achieved by understanding how the character thinks,
knowing how they would react in certain situations and playing out the scene in
such a manner that is congruent with those thoughts.
