Are you serious being a professional actor?
Can you portray all types of people with different attitudes you see around?
Can you display different types of emotions, instantly?
Remember, Emotions Affect Attitudes and Behaviors of a character in a script
Dialogues in a script creating thoughts
How to plan and prepare!
- Develop a strong habit of "observation" and concentration of watching people keenly say on the road, bust stand, garden, shops. Note emotions and attitudes exhibited.
- Note down or record on mobile such observation
- Maintain a mental data bank by practicing what you have observed
- When the need arises to create a character from a script, imagine "IF I AM THAT PERSON" how will I behave?
Emotions
1. ComedyWhich produces laughter, makes people happy and gives pleasure. In emotions which are comical, everything is at a higher level, faster and illogical. A bizarre, unexpected and opposite responses could be funny. You need a presence of mind and great timing to play comedy!
2. Astonishment (Wonderment)
An expressive reaction of wonder, magic, space falling, unusual sighting in the sky and astonishing thoughts. Exhibited by popping eyes, raised eyebrows and open mouth
3. Disgust
Emotions due to seeing something dirty, hearing dirty or smelling dirty.
For example, irritating man, subject, story or some
4. Fear
Emotions due to some frightful happening, seeing blood, visiting a burial ground in the night, a sudden frightful sound in a silent night or someone approaching to kill you
5. Peace/ tranquility
The character of a priest, P
A man or a woman with a tranquil voice and smooth and deliberate gestures
6. Love
A person with twinkling eyes, lost and not in the "present', talking to a person, but doesn't know what she/he is talking about-with wife, girlfriend or we can call it "a lover's love". The others are for mother, daughter, brother's son and so on. In each the emotions would be different. The basic difference is - one could be called as "love" and the other could be emotions of "affection" or "attachment"- a love which is brotherly, motherly, fatherly or even friendly
7. Sad
Death, broken love, failed in an audition or examination.
Remember that in emotions emerging out of this situation the tempo rhythm goes down. Reactions are slow
8. Brave
Shows enthusiasm, a daring and a positive attitude. The tempo, rhythm accelerates e.g. Army officer, leader, police
9. Anger
A heightened emotion and consequent reaction e.g. If you are cheated, somebody abuses you,
People playing dirty with you. Tempo rhythm increases
