Question Posted Monday January 17 2005, 5:24 pm

OK. I didnt really know what to put this under. I have play tryouts coming up soon for a school play. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on getting into character. And I also need tips on learning my lines. I tried to look it up on google, but i didn't find anything. Thank you for helping me if you do. I need it.

Hey,
I love meeting a fellow drama geek! Try acting as the character in the part you want the day of or before the tryout. Or you can try to make up the life of the character...you know, the bits that aren't written down. I've read poems in the perspective of the character. I use one by Shell Silverstein, called "Someone Ate The Baby" in the perspective of a hopeless romantic...let me tell you, REALLY funny.

Well, I hope I helped!! Also, which play is it? Please, email me or IM me, I'd love to know what happens!!

ok...i love to act....how i get into character is i practice my character alot...and my lines alot....for the character...if you have any movies that are close to what your character is like, watch them and try to do the same and when its time to do your play, remember the movie and get all your laughs out before it. for the lines, what i do is i say the first line over and over in my head then out loud...then i look at the paper to see if i got it right...then i practice the second line etc but after the second line i say the first and second together and so on and so forth...also put your whole heart and soul into it and act like its really your life...and if you have the giggles or think you will just think of somthing sad like someone dying or somthing...it works for me...i hope i helped and i hope you do a great job..good luck!

Well as far as acting some things just come naturally to people. If you believe in yourself Im guessing you probably will get in. Unfortunately, not all people get the role they want but when you know what you have to do just pretend you're really into it, even if your not. Sweet talk to the judges. Kiss ass sometimes works although it is terrible to say its true. Just do your best and dont worry so much. Basicially, thats really one of the best things you can do at this point.
I wish you luck!
