WHAT IS ACTING
Infect there is not a particular definition of Acting. Good Actor make their own definition. It is a subjective thing, so everyone has his/her own definition.
Some Actors made following definition.
A – Action
C – Concentration
T – Timing
I – Imagination
N – Natural
G – Graph
There are basically 3 platform where we Act.
Cinema
TV
Theatre(stage)
A good actor knows the difference of all these 3 platforms and if anyone want to be a good Actor then he/she must know the difference of these 3 platforms.
If you are acting for Film, you cannot do TV acting and if you are doing TV then you cannot do film acting and when you are doing Theatre then you can’t do TV or film acting.
The very best actors have good technique and exceptional talent. Acting techniques, like projecting your voice and movement on stage, can be learned and finessed, improving any talent. The extra edge that extraordinary natural talent brings is something that cannot be taught and is what makes great actors stand out.
Actors portray characters in stories such as plays, musicals, films, television shows and radio shows. They engage with the audience and convince them through altered speech patterns, hand gestures and more that they truly are the character.
WHAT IS FILM ACTING?
Films are called LARGER THAN LIFE so it`s Acting should be large. In early of 70es, Film acting was very loud and stylist, Film Star has his own style and meninism. That time most of the actor came from Theatre background so they did loud act but according to time Acting pattern has been changed. Now a days there is no loud acting though Stylish acting is still there. Good actor understand it
Some star Like Amitabah Bachan, Sharukh Khan, Salman Khan, known for their style.
But for newcomer I suggest doing natural acting in films.
Voice projection should not be louder like theatre.
In Film an actor must have knowledge of lances like he/she Must know that in a particular lance, how much I will be seen?
good Actors keep it in there`s mind.
WHAT IS TV ACTING FOR GOOD ACTOR?
If we compare TV from Film or Theatre, we understand that is smaller than both in size.
TV is a Box. We must understand this so we should do BOX ACTING, Means- we should act with expression, most of the time there is close shot only so we must act from face.
There should not be large gesture and posture.
Voice projection must be normal because there must be mice near you.
Working for TV is always hectic work because they do not have time to rest.
Good Actor always keep it in their mind
WHAT IS THEATRE ACTING?
Theatre is the oldest form of Acting. Theatre Acting is always loud with loud gesture and posture.
Earlier there were no mice and the audience are far from stage so Actor had to be loud.
Now a days Theatre acting is also changed now theatre actors are also doing natural acting.
Theatre Acting is a vast subject, there is no shortcut in theatre.
For understand theatre you must read plays and watch theatre`s play.
Good Actors come from theatre
