Acting is a difficult thing to comprehend. Many people, including myself, don’t understand how simple acting can be many people believe that acting is something that is forced, meanwhile most people everyday are acting and they don’t even know it. Acting is being able to take into account your own feelings and experiences and applying it to the scene. Good actors are just people who understand how to put their own feelings into their scene. They know how to take what they are feeling and letting it take over their character. Many people also don’t understand that the lines are not what is important in the scene. The way you perform the lines and who your character is and the way they say the lines is what’s important. My STAC teacher, Luke, was telling all of the students this and it has changed my viewpoint on acting and behavior. Many things we do everyday, our reactions, the way we talk, the way we think, is normally represented through very simple actions. For example, when we think, we don’t scratch our head or bring hand to our chin, all we do is think. We don’t have any over reacted actions that we do when we thing, we just think! It has truly opened my eyes and really helped me understand how acting is truly a natural and real thing. Acting is truly a way of representing what actually happens in real life and in real life situations. Normally, when you see good acting, it is when the actors understand real life situations and their real emotions in the moment and applying it to their character and the scene. In acting, the way your character reacts to things will have something to do with how you actually feel in the moment. If you’re nervous before you perform a scene, you should allow your character to feel nervous as well and you should perform the scene as nervous. As well as manipulating your character, you can also manipulate your lines because when you see the script, the lines are not what’s important. You can also manipulate your lines in many different ways as well. The same script can be said in many completely different ways if you change the character and what they are trying to get across. Therefore, your lines is not what’s important. It was truly a life changer to understand what acting actually is. It has helped me understand that acting is a real thing and something people every where do every single day.
