 Re: it doesn't take a rocket sience to become a great screen actor | |
i look in the mirror quite a lot, even when i dont think that in reality i should care what i look like... like when i'm for real crying at something... once as i cried, i looked in the mirror... i saw how my face looked... and ever since i knew what i honestly looked like when i honestly cried--i thought myself a bit stupid for caring what i would look like had my fit of sadness been make-believe on camera--and ever since i read in my psych class that when people try to mask a feeling they use other muscles to cover it up, i've learned how to correctly manipulate my face. People mess up the fake look by maybe the way the nose flares, the lips, the eyebrow sinking in or up, and the cheeks, how the eyes close a little... one missing ingredient and its all fake....
If you're thinking about going into serious acting, take a psychology class or pick up a book on it at the store... It really helps... I read my entire 14 ch. 500 some paged textbook cover to cover, and not only did it help me ace my tests and my college exam, it opened up new ideas about the inner workings of different people. And since we actors play different people only and not ourselves, these things are good things to know and be aware of fully. It also helps you better decide who you truly are as a person, mentally/emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
