The 10 Steps to Creating a Character
Actors, wouldn’t it be wonderful to go to auditions feeling supremely prepared and confident that you have the very best technique, knowledge and freedom to do a great job and create any character?
The first part of the job of an actor, analysis of the play, could well be compared to the job of a detective…You arrive at the ‘scene of the crime’ (receive the script) and the search begins to find ‘clues’ to help you piece together and establish the facts of the ‘case’.
The script itself can only ever give you a limited amount of information, or ‘clues’, about the characters life, from which it is then your job to piece the information together and design a psychological totality. The actor needs a balance of clear reasoning and active imagination to establish the missing pieces in order to design and create a truthful, living character.
The second part of the actors job is to embody the character. This means to become fully absorbed and to literally think the characters thoughts, feel the characters feelings and allow them to manifest through the actors own voice and body…all the time in front of an audience (or camera crew) without allowing the actors own subconscious thinking getting in the way… No mean feat!
But how do you do it? If only there was a clear and simple process, a practical system that allowed you to break down the character and get to the heart of who you are supposed to be playing…
Well, fortunately there is…!
Evolved and refined from the system of Stanislavski, The 10 Steps to Creating a Character represents the ‘Holy Grail’ of Acting.
