How to Become an Actor

Channel your emotions into the role. Look over scripts and determine the main emotions of the scene. Whatever your character is supposed to be feeling at that moment, make sure your performance conveys it. For example, if your character is sad, you may be more soft-spoken and use fewer hand gestures than an overly-excited character.

• The emotional state of the scene also helps you remember your lines since you will associate the dialogue of the scene with what you’re feeling.
