Well I think I'm an ok actress. But I would like to get better... so does anyone have any advice or tips to help make me more convincing? Thanks! ~ KellyActing Tips/Advice???????
there are two really easy steps to help you get better. the only thing is, it's kind of a full time job:
1) OBSERVE. everyone and everything about you moves differently, feels differently, thinks differently, and speaks differently. watch and listen to it all, and little things you pick up from different kinds of people (old people, homeless people, cheerleaders etc.) you'll be able to incorporate into your characters.
2) PRACTICE. whenever you can, usually in your own home, take what you observed and try to embody it in front of the mirror. practice voicing your characters in different tones, and your facial expressions and movements. also, cold reading is really tough but you're asked to do it a lot at auditons (if you don't know, it's when they give you a script called a ';side'; and maybe a little bit of time to go over your lines, and then you're asked to read your lines). to practice for that, try reading out loud in books, magazines, whatever you have, and voicing it all sorts of different ways and emotions.
those are really the basic things you need to do to improve. if you can find acting lessons or classes, those are good to. good luck =)
