MOVE YOUR HEAD: Radtai’s Top 10 Acting Tips
9) Move Your Head
Human’s thoughts are not linear, it jumps from one thought to another. For example, when I chitchat with friends, I talk about my lover, and shift to my ex, and then I skip to talk about my dog, and jump to talk about my shoes, and then start to ask what I am going to have for a dinner, and this time, get back on track to talk about my lover again. It is a natural process, it is the way our mind work. In acting, we call it “Interrupted Thought”.
Young actors tend to focus so strong, so that their bodies are way to stiff when act, as a result, their heads are blogged and not moving. This could effect the quality of their acting a great deal. When your thought process is not allowed to be working the way it should be working in real life, you act badly. And audiences are watching a talking flintstones.
Good playwright and screenwriter know it, so they write in a way that resonates with natural nuance and reality. And good actors know it, so they move their head. As a result, they lost no inspiration in the middle of the scene.
