How To Master Truthful Acting Without Trying Hard | Under Tension | In A Fear Of Failing Or Rejection 


The growth as an actor and growth as a human being are similar(synonymous). The objective should be to 
  1. Understanding and learning about "Self", to know your type (Archetype) and about what is acting as a delicate art and actor learning with tools, and with the discipline to grow. 
  2. Most importantly, To learn how to develop the limitless human imagination in their task of studying and bringing a script and a character to an interesting life.
  3. This is possible only by becoming neutral, a blank slate/ paper self and by transforming yourself into new life
  4. This can be definitely be done individually at home and be learning to become an actor without so-called "Acting" where an audience finds you as a truthful actor in a given circumstances rather than as a fake or trying hard to play a role.



The Simple 4  Basics Of  Becoming An Actor Are



A.The Self Development



An actor's talent is is him. He should discover, identify and learn how to develop it
To think them and not on anybody's suggestion
Respect their own ideas and values(unique ideas which have been developed over an entire lifetime)
To be an independent and intelligent actor determined to train their mind, bodies, voice, and spirits to achieve their goals (Learn how to set goals)


B. Why Develop The Power Of Imagination?


An actor's imaginations are the most powerful source to create even unimaginative.
To bring a film or a theatre play and characters to life. The actor must be able to create from his own living experiences or by a considerable period of observation of anything he feels by his 5 senses(See, smell, taste, hear and touch). The classical example is of a great actor-Lee J Cobb who acted in an award-winning play "The death of a salesman".


C. The Importance Of "Action"


Drama in a film or at heater depends on 'Doing' rather than 'Saying' or Just 'Feeling'. However, an actor's approach strongly depends on connecting these together by creating a drama(conflict) between him and other characters or with 'given circumstances' in a story. This drama 'should not' be between his own various shades of life(Me and myself)  which may push him into an isolation in the story. These actions especially in for the camera should be subtle, creative and expressive (with eyes and face).


D. Understanding Script And Its Interpretation


  • A story by a writer and recreated as a screenplay for film or a script for a play once submitted is a unique object with its own life and has a tremendous potential to 'impact'on the minds of the audience.To play it is not in words but in you.
  • It's an actor's responsibility  to respect the script with deep and repeated readings, 
  • To know where the script is leading the character
  • Understanding  the character's environment(situation in a scene where the actor is performing)
  • Understanding changes in emotions, conflicts and rhythm and tempo



All of the above becomes easier if he has or developed the power of the imagination to incredible heights. Finally, for an actor to achieve a true excellence resolution, determination and sacrifice becomes essential~ Author
