The Concept of Acting

Acting: is the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in theater, television, film, or any other storytelling medium who tells the story by portraying a character and, usually, speaking or singing the written text or play.

Now when it comes to acting there are MANY different types of acting that can be refereed to. The most common method of acting that most of us are accustomed to is the acting that we see on a daily basis. Such as television sitcoms, movies, and commercials. Now that is the most common types that we see on a daily basis. This type of acting is definitely a talent driven type of acting but there is room for error during a performance since it can be done as many times as needed to get the right take.

There are other types of acting such as live acting. This would be things such as theater, plays, and any other live performances that we see live and not on film. This is a more demanding and rehearsed type of acting.

There is hardly any room for errors while doing a performance since an error can mess up the flow of the performance.

So as you can see there are many different types of acting in the industry but the basic concept behind all of them are; you MUST be talented, committed, and passionate about being an actor or actress. You will need all these attributes in order to be a believable and successful actor/actress. An actor/actress must be able to get into character basically on the spot. This mostly is important for film actors/actresses since the scenes are not filmed in order as they are in the film/movie.

As for live performers this is a bit different since their performances are done in order. There is a bit more stress put on this type of acting since it is live and you CAN’T mess up.

So to me the concept of acting is the expression, skill, and delivery an actor/actress possesses and expresses to their audience. Whether it be a live performance or filmed.

Manage Your Stress From Acting And Modeling

As most actors and models already know, the acting and modeling industry can bring on boat loads of unneeded stress and anxiety.  To avoid these feelings of stress and anxiety, a person mush know exactly how to take things step by step.  It is also crucial to give yourself some much need relax time every day or every few days to feel more at ease.  There are five simple steps that you can do, by yourself, on a daily basis to help a person fight stress and anxiety and live a happier life.

The first thing you can do to deal with these feelings is the good old method of counting to ten if you are in a situation that is appalling.  This will give you a chance to take a step back and think about what is happening and find a way to react in a way that is less mean or inappropriate.

The second thing you can do, if you enjoy the outdoors, like the beach or mountains, you can visit one of these places to help calm your mood and change it into something much more enjoyable.

Third, write things down.  You see, writing things down can be a great outlet when you have a crowded mind with thoughts and ideas.  This will help you organize your thoughts and have a better vision of what needs to be done.  In the end, this should help you become more relaxed.

The fourth thing you can do may make you look a little crazy, but it works.  You can talk to yourself, you know, have a little pep talk.  Doing this, will help you vent out your thoughts and frustrations and allow you to listen to yourself.  This will help you stay calm and think straight.

The fifth and last thing I want to talk about is taking a break from what you are doing.  Most people’s lives are made up of too many demanding things.  Take small break and close your eyes, get a drink (not alcohol), get something to drink, or do whatever might calm you down.

Applying these things on a daily basis will help you reduce the amount of stress and anxiety that you might be feeling from your daily activities.

Second, if you are participating in a live performance, you need to get involved in your character as much as possible.  Becoming your character in every aspect will make you more believable and more enjoyable for the audience.

Third, you should listen very carefully to what the other actors are saying.  This will give everyone the impression that you care about what is happening, instead of just on your own part.

If you want to become an actor, there are some things that you are going to need to do to prepare yourself for success.  If done, these things will strengthen your acting skills and make you a much stronger candidate for acting gigs all around the country.

This is a crucial step because a talent manager can jumpstart your success by leveraging their professional network and making it yours in a sense.  They will work hard to promote you as a person and an actor so you have more opportunities to be seen.

  • Start small and work your way to larger opportunities

Wanna know the true key to success?  Don’t think you have the talent to walk on to the next big feature, whether it be a tv show or a movie.  Those individuals who start small will get far more acting opportunities and training than those who try to make it big from the beginning.  If you get some smaller productions out of the way and on your resume, you will be a much more attractive candidate for the larger features. (climbing the ladder or paying your dues, if you will)

  • Hone your auditioning skills

Know what it is that casting directos are looking for and do everything in your power to be that kind of an actor.  Make sure that you prepare and practice before every audition.  Failing to prepare is preparing to fail!

Nothing can be substituted for hard work!  Hard work and dedication is noticed and will pay off in the long run.  Work hard now and reap the benefits in the future.
