Actors

INTRODUCTION Every student actor has been there. You know the feeling. Palms sweaty, heart pumping and nerves on edge. Audition time! You walk across the wooden boards and try to avoid the eyes of the lackluster auditors in order to open your mouth to speak… Shakespeare! Ugh. Shakespeare who is boring and makes no sense and makes you feel lost while speaking words that lack meaning while having some of the highest stake performances of your life. Why oh why, do we have to perform…

Stanislavski was extremely concerned that the actors would get distracted by the audience when they are performing on stage. Stanislavski came up with a way to make actors observe in a way in which it would help them develop their acting making them more focused and aware. The audience is very important to the overall piece, however he did not find them a ‘crippling factor’. Stanislavski came to realise that actor’s lost control of their basic acting skills on stage. Moreover it was recognised…

As an actor, one must interpret the playwright’s writing within the boundaries of the “given circumstances”. As a lighting designer, one must support and embellish those actors’ interpretations while still abiding by the given circumstances. The Dramatic Imagination refers to lighting as not only a craft, but also an art form, and drama to be a living organism. Without lighting, there ceases to be as vigorous a life essence within the performance. This essay will discuss various elements of the…

Anyone can become a hot and happening actor or actress. If you have a good attitude you can become a rich and famous actor or actress.

Car Named Desire put on by the seniors had good and bad qualities and the actors slightly committed to their characters but not fully. The scenes were choppy and a little too frequent, I understand Anna Carson’s approach but the scenes could have flowed more smoothly. The scene changes were noisy and a little chaotic, having the actors move and change the scene in the set change lights would have made it easier for the actors and the scene change would have been smoother. The music in the…

System in Hollywood is what powers the rise of unknowns into household names and Hollywood fame. The Star, the actor and even the real person all play a role in the success and failure of an actor or actress, personas which in combination will be able to make or break a film before it is even released. Harrison Ford manages this expertly, a rough yet heroic star, a quick witted and dead pan actor, and the actual person hidden away from the public kept extremely private. These traits are what…

The best example of this is Thyona and Constantine. Their roles represent the radical opinions, and each actor successfully represented them. The true commitment from those actors led to an honest performance. The audience was engulfed and intently listening to them, even if they did not share the characters points of view. For example, the plotline about killing the grooms seemed irrational…

production made use of only two actors, and as there are significantly more characters in the story than just two, I was intrigued and excited to see how this had been done. Herford had commissioned Mallatratt to write a Christmas show, but since he had a very limited budget, it being the end of the season, he told Mallatratt that he “can’t afford to have more than four actors or elaborate sets”. By making the audience feel as though the theatre was empty but for the two actors, Mallatratt…

programs and auditioning to gain experience. Most actors start off in the major industry by having lots of previous theatre credits and experience in lead roles. He or she may also choose to attend a college theatre program such as a liberal arts program to gain more knowledge. Susan Blair Ross gives advice on this topic by saying, “I didn’t major in acting in college, but I know a lot of people who did, with great results. I think the strongest college theater programs right now are at…

Korean actor; however, he is also a famous male model. Won Bin’s acting career started with his debut in the drama film “Propose”. After his little success with the supporting role in this drama, Won Bin decided to improve his acting skills and entered Baekje Arts College for acting classes.
