Finding Words That Work For You

When working on a role, we will inevitably come face-to-face with adjectives that describe our characters. We find these adjectives in the script itself, or if auditioning, in the breakdown. But if those adjectives don’t do anything for us, as actors, we need to find ones that do. Just as we have to translate an “effect direction” into something active that brings us to life, we also have to take descriptors we don’t connect with, and translate them into words that affect us and free us up, words that we “get” and instinctually know how to play. Otherwise, we may fall into the trap of playing a cliche. Brought to you by weaudition.com and anchor.fm I Don’t an Acting Class- the book is out November 1st.
