One of the best ways to begin your own acting studies is to start reading some good plays.Choose your favorite role from one of your favorite plays and prepare to act it out in front of the audience.To learn to act,you must act.Here are some tips on how to become an actor with no experience:
To play a role,you must understand the character that you are going to play with open arms.Understand the plot of the play,as well as the psyche of your character.Understand the conditions in which your character lives.Try to understand why your character behaves in that way.So you must learn the lines or dialogues thoroughly and explore the thought behind every sentence.This will help you picture the circumstances in which the character finds himself/herself.Some actors go as far as"living"as that person for a while,to understand him or her.The idea is to go as close as possible to being that person.More importantly,only through practice can you get close to actually being that person.So seize every chance and perform as frequently as you can.This will help you develop confidence and overcome stage fright.
As a student of acting,you need to always be a sponge (海绵),ready to absorb,learn,and observe the performances of great actors,to learn the slight differences of the art.While you watch movies,plays and any other performance,study the differences of a role played by any actors,especially the masters.By just keeping your eyes open,you can pick up a lot of things.
Why do you want to act?Is it for money,fame,or genuine love for the art?Would you do it if you were not paid for it?If the answer and your motivation is love for acting,you are sure to eventually succeed.
