The key to becoming a talented actor is perspective change. If you can't do this, your going to have a hard time becoming an actor, a great actor.Believe me I know this. Set your ego aside and listen. I'm here to give you a tip. Say your trying out for a part in a horror movie. This is it. Let say your supposed to respond to a fake monster or a person in makeup or whatever. Lets just say so your going act scared,but you know in your mind which faces reality that it isn't. Now imagine that it is. Imagine what if this was really happening in real life.How would you feel in real life if the monster was real. You would be feeling alot different. You would be really afraid. O.K. heres the thing. YOU know the monster isn't real, right. So your going to try to act like your really afraid. When your trying to really be afraid, your mind is going to tell you something different.Because it knows it really isn't. this is the thing. When your trying really hard to be scared of something fake is to mix it with real life. This is the key:you will laugh, and this the key: you'll laugh with out consiencely trying. It will just pop out effortlesly. In essense what yor doing is tricking your own mind out. This will make you fearless. Even in real life you'll be alot less fearless.Wouldn't you agree that the laughter emotion is the hardest one to get at. The anger emotion is the easyest to get out.CONSENTRATE on your really deep laughter emotion. Thats in side of alot of people.YOU need to take it dead serious. Because of the way the mind works its going to tell you the opposite. This is what does it. I mean this is what gives you the perspective change. Its critical that you change your perspective. Or you may never be a talented actor.Believe me, I know this. | ||

I'd say the key, then, is imagination....and homework. If you really do the personal homework and find out what truly makes you afraid, and you stay in your imagination long enough to work yourself up into that state...and you do this over and over again until the feeling of being afraid is extremely familiar to you, then you can go to that place whenever you want....and it's effortless. That is why people like Meryl Streep, and the late Jack Lemmon, can hang out and be having casual conversations with the crew and once the director calls action, they can just "switch it on". It takes practice. | ||

Imagination is especially important for the blue-/greenscreen actor. Imagining that little balls or letters are people or corners of a room.... Well trying to imagine and react accordingly to things that arent there at all... You get my point.... Hard.
