Tips for Acting. Live it, breath it and commit to it!

Platform2c (c) 2022

The most important tips for getting the best out of your acting.

1. Learn the script—really learn it. Break it down, analyze it, and try to understand it inside and out.

2. Live the character. Have a clear understanding of their motivations, thoughts, emotions, and goals.

3. Know your lines. Commit them to memory, so that you are able to deliver them without having to think.

4. Make strong, physical choices. Don’t rely on using just your face or voice to create a character, really embody them.

5. Listen. Be present in the moment, and be reaction oriented.

6. Believe in yourself. Trust your instincts and be open to direction.

7. Use and create action verbs. Actively conjure images in the minds of viewers and stay in the moment.

8. Don’t be afraid of looking foolish. Good acting often involves taking risks, so don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone.

9. Live it. Love it. Enjoy it. When your passion for acting takes over, it will flow out of you and impact your performance.

10. Prep and rest. Make sure you are physically and mentally prepared and well-rested before you tackle a role.
