Collaboration and creativity are the real joys of storytelling.

Intense rehearsals can deprive us of the opportunity to try out the performance process. So, preparing for the rehearsal pays off exponentially in the long run. Take advantage of the time when you have to think outside the box about how you plan to prepare for the role. I have some ideas you might want to try:
Next, it’s time to think about how to shape your character. You don’t have to be 100% there on the first day, but if you take the time to understand your character beforehand, the rehearsal will go much smoother. Your supervisor will appreciate your efforts.
Prepare for a new acting role.
Turn off your phone, iPad, or any other communication device you currently own. Leave your questions and distractions out. Do a simple warm-up yourself (even if your supervisor starts with a company warm-up). Do some gentle stretches, some simple vocal exercises, and you’ll be ready to go.
The first thing to do is to read pure “joy”. Read the script just for your own pleasure, just like you would sit down and read a book. Don’t take notes, there’s a lot of time later. Try not to focus on your character (it will be very difficult). Your goal is to understand how the piece works as a whole.
Now you understand everything you said in the text and the world your character lives in. Time to start working and learning the lines. Well, there is no perfect way to do this, and I suggest you avoid learning lines just by repetition. This can lead to difficult-to-follow decisions. Instead, try to understand the thinking behind the lines. I always try to make this physical. stand up! Embody words with your body and turn them into shapes!

I love learning and believe that one of the keys to a meaningful life is…showing more content…being able to make a living as an actor, whether on stage or in film and tv, is an absolute dream come true. I’ve always Like many different things in life. I love trying new jobs, new ways of thinking, new ways of living and growing, and I’m always told I have to choose a path, but through acting I can be and do whatever the script demands.

I found that acting was not just something I wanted to do, it was something I had to do
