Re:What kind of Actor are you? - 2007/05/20 11:13
I think I'm mostly a natural actor. However, I am kind of representational. The difference is that I do consider what will entertain the audience, especially when I do comedy.
I just did a show where during rehearsals I was kind of funny, but I didn't really try very hard. Then, when I got on stage, everything just naturally flowed out of me, and not to toot my horn but, I was hilarious! I did consider the audience. The whole time I was on stage I was thinking "Oh, they'll think this is SO funny." but the funny things just came naturally to me, without having to think about what I was going to do in rehearsal.
When it comes to dramatic pieces, I'm very split. I recently did a monologue for UIL where I cried during the performance. I was so shocked, I can't cry on cue! I had never cried when rehearsing it or anything, it just kind of came out of me. It was like I was really inside the character, feeling her pain. But only about 30% of me was there. The other 70% was going through the routine (i.e. do this hand motion, look at that person, turn here, shout here.) It was a very strange feeling to have myself and my emotion divided like that.
