Acting Update
I worked on a scene yesterday and I felt like it went well. I was told I needed to be more active at certain parts. Not like active as in exercise, but more "bouncing around." My problem is I don't know how to do this without faking. Yesterday I was physically and mentally exhausted beyond belief. I could have faked the bouncing around but it would be very obvious. So all in all, I think what I'm trying to ask is if I'm supposed to act how I feel in a scene, how do I act what I'm not feeling without faking?

Ok.
ReplyDeleteWell, the emotional content of a scene is one thing, but the physical movement of the body - moving faster, etc., isn't the same thing, nor are the two dependent on each other. Bouncing around can't be faked anymore that one can fake walking quickly. Does that make sense? You have to divorce the physical actions of the body from the emotional state of the soul. And in doing so, you'll get the soul to follow the body, rather than the body dependent on the soul.
