HOW TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A ROLE - Joseph Owusu (Movie Expect)

Joseph Ofosu
( Movie Producer & Director )
De-Joe Films

1. READ THE GIVEN SCRIPT MORE THAN TWICE 

Once you have a script you need to know the entire story well, not just your character. Actors exist to drive forward the larger theme and plot of a movie, play or TV show. If you don't understand the larger themes and ideas of the script then your performance will seem out of place. When reading the script, ask yourself what the main theme of the work is. How does your character fit into the story?Once you've got a grasp on the full story, turn to your parts and read them an extra 1-2 times. Now, focus on your character's role and lines.

2. ASK AND ANSWER SEVERAL KEY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER. 

To really get into your character, you need to dive past what is on the page and start thinking about what makes your character. All of this might not make it to the screen/stage, but these little facts will help you fully portray the character and can lead to important discoveries about how you'll play the role. Asking the director or writer questions like Who am I? Where am I from? Why am I here? could help.

3. KNOW YOUR CHARACTER'S DEFINING DESIRE. 

All characters, in almost all stories, want something. This is the basis of plot. The desire can be to save the world, to get a date, or simply to grab a bite to eat. But you need to know this desire, and why your character has it, in order to accurately portray them. All of your character's actions will stem in some way from this desire. It is what drives and fuels them. A character's desires can change, and you need to note when this happens. It is almost always a major scene or moment to portray.

You shouldn't ever have to stop and think about what you're about to say. You should be more concerned with how you're saying it. The only way to get to this point is to practice your lines over and over again, doing your best to recite them without consulting the script. Get a friend to play the rest of the parts so that you can realistically bounce the conversation back and forth.

4. EXPERIMENT WITH THE LINES AS YOU READ. 

Try them multiple ways, with different inflections or emphasis, and see how it affects your character.

Recording yourself and watching it later can help you see small mistakes, or hear new ways to deliver the lines. Focus on getting the lines down first before worrying about perfecting the lines. You want to be able to recitask the director about their vision for the character

5. ASK THE DIRECTOR ABOUT THEIR VISION FOR THE CHARACTER 

If you've already got the role, sit down with the director to see if there is any specific direction they want to go with things. Briefly let them know your ideas about the character and how you see them contributing to the themes in the project, then listen to their ideas as well. Remember that you are there to serve the project as a whole, not just yourself. You need to be able to take constructive criticism and ideas gracefully.If you don't have the role yet, and are going to an audition, pick a direction for the character and stick with it. Don't try and give people what they want to hear. Instead, read the notes and prepare the lines in the way that feels natural

There is always someone who can step on stage and steal the whole show. They are such a good actor / actress that they pull you into their world and leave you on the edge of your seat. Keep reading to find out how to not just an actor or actress, but a great actor/actress and show strong emotions that will captivate your audience.

Preparing For the Role

1Read the entire script 2-3 times. 

You need to know the entire play/movies or episode well, not just your character. Actors exist to drive forward the larger theme and plot of a movie, play or TV show. If you don't understand the larger themes and ideas of the script then your performance will seem out of place. When reading the script, ask yourself what the main theme of the work is. How does your character fit into the story?

·         Once you've got a grasp on the full story, turn to your parts and read them an extra 1-2 times. Now, focus on your character's role and lines.

2 Ask and answer several key questions about your character. 

To really get into your character, you need to dive past what is on the page and start thinking about what makes your character tick. All of this might not make it to the screen/stage, but these little facts will help you fully portray the character and can lead to important discoveries about how you'll play the role. When coming up with "answers," trust your gut, or ask the director or writer for help.

• ·         Who am I?
• ·         Where am I from?
• ·         Why am I here?

3Know your character's defining desire. 

All characters, in almost all stories, want something. This is the basis of plot. The desire can be to save the world, to get a date, or simply to grab a bite to eat. But you need to know this desire, and why your character has it, in order to accurately portray them. All of your character's actions will stem in some way from this desire. It is what drives and fuels them.

·         A character's desires can change, and you need to note when this happens. It is almost always a major scene or moment to portray.

·         As an exercise, try and pick out the desires of your favorite characters/actors. In There Will Be Blood, for example, the main character is completely driven by the need to find more oil. Every action, look, and emotion springs from this unending, passionate greed, and you can see it on Daniel Day-Lewis's face each scene.

4Practice your lines until they become second nature. 

You shouldn't ever have to stop and think about what you're about to say. You should be more concerned with how you're saying it. The only way to get to this point is to practice your lines over and over again, doing your best to recite them without consulting the script. Get a friend to play the rest of the parts so that you can realistically bounce the conversation back and forth.

·         Experiment with the lines as you read. Try them multiple ways, with different inflections or emphasis, and see how it affects your character.

·         Recording yourself and watching it later can help you see small mistakes, or hear new ways to deliver the lines.

·         Focus on getting the lines down first before worrying about perfecting the lines. You want to be able to recite the words now, then make them perfect later.

5Talk to the director about their vision for the character. 

If you've already got the role, sit down with the director to see if there is any specific direction they want to go with things. Briefly let them know your ideas about the character and how you see them contributing to the themes in the project, then listen to their ideas as well. Remember that you are there to serve the project as a whole, not just yourself. You need to be able to take constructive criticism and ideas gracefully.

·         If you don't have the role yet, and are going to an audition, pick a direction for the character and stick with it. Don't try and give people what they want to hear. Instead, read the notes and prepare the lines in the way that feels natural to you.

6Put yourself in the shoes of your character. 

You cannot adequately represent a character unless you can get inside their head. Even though your words are scripted out, your actions and blocking aren't always written in stone. In addition, knowing your character well will help you improvise should someone forget their lines. Preparing for a role is the process of getting into your character's head, embodying them the best you can.

·         Method acting is when an actor refuses to break character on set. In between takes, they stay in the role, trying to fully inhabit the character so that they are always perfect when playing the role on camera.

·         Find the parts of the role that ring true for you. Have you felt the sorts of emotions your character is going through? Do you know a little bit about the struggle? Find ways to channel your emotions into your character's lines for the best results.

What can you do to best memorize your lines and nail your delivery?

·         Decide beforehand how you want to portray your character, and only practice that version.

·         Record yourself delivering your lines and watch the video later to objectively judge your performance.

·         Try to perfect your delivery as you're memorizing your lines to save time.

5 Acting Tips That Will Help You Give (And Get) Better Performances

Mantse Ayitey

"Acting is simple, but not easy."

If you're an actor, giving a great performance is your chief concern while shooting a scene—and if you're a director, it's all about getting one, but acting isn't as easy as saying a few lines and not looking directly into the camera. Producer Mantse Ayitey shares some tips that will not only be helpful for actors, but for directors as well.

Each of these tips from Mantse Ayitey are excellent for actors, but if you're a director, they also reveal ways you can assist your actors with difficult scenes or exercises that'll help with their performance.

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING

1. Know your lines

This is kind of a no-brainer—know your lines. If you don't know your lines when it comes time to shoot, you'll stop up production and then everybody will get cranky. But when it comes to how to learn your lines, Mantse Ayitey suggests "rote memorization". This means that you memorize just the actual words without any inflection or rhythm attached, so when it comes time to change up the way you say it, you won't be thrown off by having to deliver your lines in a different way.

2. Manage your time on set

Don't waste time between takes; prepare for the next one. You could go over your lines, go over the blocking so you know exactly where you're supposed to be, and get into character. However, Mantse says don't go 100% with getting into the right state of mind for the scene. He advises to just "get the fire smoldering" so you can add fuel or oxygen to it when the time is right during a take.

3. Fill every scene

No scene should ever be flat, not even simple ones like walking down a hall or delivering a package. To add dimension and substance to these seemingly unimportant scenes, Mantse says to "fill the scene." For shots where there is action without dialog, he says to think about something while you're doing the action: where you're coming from, imagine people off screen, etc. You can do this too for scenes with a single line of dialog, like dropping off a file to your boss. This is when direction becomes extremely important, because the director will be the one to help an actor determine the motivation, or even help develop some kind of unestablished backstory.

4. Continuity

Even though there is (or should be) someone looking out for continuity errors during every scene, actors can also be extremely helpful for avoiding them. It's important to do every movement the same way at the same time during the scene, especially if there's dialog, because if you don't, you risk getting your best take cut out of the film because a continuity error made it unusable.

5. Take direction

The relationship between an actor and a director is one of the most important ones on a film production. It can be the most intimate, but it can also be the most volatile. This is why communication and knowing how to take direction is so integral. Some directors, especially ones who are inexperienced, may not be able to explain clearly what they need from you in a scene, which is why, according to Mantse, learning how to translate what a director is saying can be a huge benefit to you.
