Instruction manual
one
Explore the role prototype. After reading the script, the actor searches for the most suitable object to study the character of his hero. He observes a manner of behavior, inherent movements, temperament. The actor notes the smallest details: timbre and tone of voice, look, facial expressions and gestures. According to Stanislavsky, he “interferes with his soul” and becomes infected in a new way. The self-identity goes by the wayside, and only the character of your role should come to the surface. It doesn’t matter what role it is: teacher, politician or seller.
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere. Professional actors visit the "habitat" of their character and get used to the role.

Create a convincing look. Of great importance is the stage image, costume and accessories. Free yourself from psychological clamps, relieve physical stress. The actor must be able to observe himself from the outside and direct his emotions into words and actions.
3
Learn the necessary skills. The acting profession involves quick learning and good knowledge of the subject matter. Each image involves certain knowledge, experience and philosophy of life. If you need to play the role of a pianist, hire a teacher and learn how to easily perform at least one piece of music.
4
Transmit emotions. To be convincing in the performance of the role, it is necessary to reproduce the entire emotional background inherent in your hero. Create authenticity of experiences. If you want to play the role of a melancholic, plunge into the sad memories of the past, enter into a state of mental trance. If the situation requires a charismatic personality, turn to successful experience when you were confident, energetic and felt victory. To recreate certain emotions, try to remember the smallest details of the situation.
5
Believe in your fiction and live it sincerely. Do not prepare a speech in advance, but feel that you really have become a different person with a different set of thoughts, feelings, experiences. Improvise. The actor must be able to think figuratively and constantly train to transform into different roles.
