I was one of the interviewers to audition an actor for a role in an upcoming indie short film titled 'Genggam'. Another interviewer was Nazrin and his advice to the actor at the end of the audition session really made alot of sense to me. It made me wan to be an actor!!
His advise was...as an actor, one have to observe 3 basic rules. The order is as follows:
1. THINK about the character you are playing. Think about the scene and the situation the character is in. Plan your character's actions.
2. EMOTION of the character in that particular scene. Emotion can be portrayed thru facial expressions as well as movements. Also, the character has to interact with other characters in the scene too.
3. DIALOGUE. An actor need to know how a dialogue is delivered. How are the words said, with wat tone, speed, volume, etc. Most directors dont mind if you dont follow the script word for word. As long as you know the main points in the dialogue and it suits the scene.
Another important point is breathing. Control your breathing while acting so that you are not out of breath. Breath thru your stomach and not your chest so that you dont get nervous.
The Internet and library are good places to learn bout acting. Get your acting experience by acting in plays and short films. Just go out and do it!
Here are some websites you can read from. I do not agree wif some of the points but overall, acting is simple and easy to learn. Anyway, if all these is too much reading for you, I agree!! The best way to enjoy acting is go out there to act now!!
