Re: Comedy vs. Drama- question | | It all depends on what you are comfortable with as a person. If you are a naturally goofy person, drama will be more taxing, if however, you're a closed person, you may do better in dramatic scenes than comedic scenes. Personally, I think they are both equally challenging. It's hard to make people of all walks of life laugh at the same joke, and yet it is also hard to convey a dramatic situation to the viewers. It all depends what you have more experience doing. Or what you would be more comfortable doing. For example, in my community theatre group all we have really done are comedies, really kind of slapstick [yeah I did Much Ado as well, although I played Don Pedro], so I would be comfortable in doing comedies, however, as a person I am more down to earth, closed and think in a very dramatic way, therefore, I would be comfortable doing dramas... Actually I prefer them. One, they are something that everyone can relate to on some level, and it has the reward of portraying life how it really is and that's the challenge that would thrill me. So from my point of view, dramatic characters would be more challenging than comedic, because they have a lot more levels of emotion to them.
