    I love theatre and want to be an actress... the only problem is I am shy and super awkward

      I've had a little luck doing theater in the last year or so... Late starter.. Cuz I'm a bit shy myself.. But interestingly enough.. being the task is to be a character, be someone else... thy shyness thing doesn't even register.

      Same, but I don't think my parents would approve. My dream is to be on broadway lol. I don't even care if it's a lead role, and I'm willing to take every lesson I need in order to become good enough. But where I currently live, chances are super small, and my parents don't really think I have to like my job. They see jobs more as just something you do to get money, and use the money to have good things that will make you happy. But every time I watch a show, I can't help but feel like I want to be more than just an audience member.

      Clara Eke Nope! Only if it's in the script. It comes off as unprofessional, like you don't have your lines memorized. You don't say 'um' while singing, you don't say 'um' in a monologue. Don't say um.

    • @Noir0rioN
      @Noir0rioN 5 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      @@placeholder9462 sorry. Agree to disagree. I use fake little affectations like ums and quick little stutters all the time. Saying lines rarely sounds natural as written. They often need just A LITTLE fine-tuning and tweaking. (*Doing two translated plays from French, so this is especially true. As a writer first, actor second, I trust myself more than some French major to convey what's happening in every line, every scene.
      So, um it up. As long as it's, NATURALISTIC AS HELL. That trumps all. Coming off...REAL. Believable. Tangible. And we real people say um and stumble over their words ALL THE TIME. So, thus, so do many of my characters.
      But hey, that's just my opinion; I could be wrong.
      (*and yes-MANY directors won't let you deviate even an adverb or preposition from the script... they're...fun. So I do see your point. If this is THEA101...then yes. Rules should be learned first, and broken or bent later when you've gotten better. So um, I guess I, umm, technically..."apologize": Yeah-don't deviate (too much!) from the script. Umm....anything else?

    I just got enrolled into acting classes, i have no experience and I *know* everyone there is already experienced 😓I literally watch a TV show two of the kids from there were in here. I’m good at acting, but not in front of people. Maybe it’s just in front of family, in fear to make a scene and just get way too scared and run out. I don’t even know but I’m going for it, acting has been my dream for so long and this may be the only chance I’ll get so I’m taking it! I wish everyone watching this luck!

    Aaargh! So excited!
    Developing characters comes to me naturally though, as I love reading and writing. I know exactly how the character shall be feeling.
    But. I can't express it at all.
    I think I seem kinda fake and overly emotional sometimes. Also I can't hold my body still and always do too much gestures.
    But hey, Gotta get through it!

  • @CarnieKing
    @CarnieKing 12 ปีที่แล้ว +48

    Every director I've ever worked states "do not say umm (because the audience will think you messed up) and if you're going to think do so deliberately. Same as every speech (as I do public speaking) teacher/coach. But their method is to say uh or ah if you have to think. Acting isn't real. Its idealized. People are full with layers--hundreds even. Actors don't have time to be a complete human being.

    Hey y’all! I’m a freshman with a secondary lead role in my play in 3 days. We are presenting the Play that goes Wrong. Now, it’s exactly what’s happening in the title, going horribly wrong. We are on day 5 of tech week, and everyone is an absolute wreck. The person with the top role decided to not memorize any of her lines! She was fired tonight, so…. Here we are. It’s horrible. The line deadline was 2 weeks ago. I need any general tips people with more experience would have for me. I’ve been acting for 3 years, so I know how everything works. My first high school production was a sixth grader. Please, TIPS.

But, i auditioned for Mamma Mia, our school's spring play, and got Donna's understudy. Its time for me to be good incase someone gets sick, because i wont embarrass myself in front of the whole school because of a sucky teacher.

Cause like I know I have to move, but in that situation, I wouldn't normally move. Like in a sad scene, I would probably lie down and sob but on stage I can't exactly do that. In an angry scene I would probably just stand there but on stage I have to move. SO, I can't exactly do that. Help
