 Re: it doesn't take a rocket sience to become a great screen actor | |
I have never had much luck with the mirror technique, besides feeling insecure with myself. Does it really matter what you look like while you are acting? Isn't the point to "feel". If you truly "feel" what you are doing, then the audience will pick up on that and it will be so much more real than knowing what you look like when you feel, and then contorting yourself into that posture.
It just seems so technical to concern yourself with how you look....unless you are working on an impersonation or are simply curious with your appearance.
Maybe I'm missing a bigger picture here. I'm not a novice actor, I work professionally, but I don't get this mirror concept.
Fill me in if I missed the meaning behind this, or if we just disagree. |
