Acting is a sport. Just like an athlete, you have to be really dedicated.
You have to be fighting fit – and determined to be the very best.
You have to train for the big event. You have to go over the same thing over and over again. Practising all the time – at every opportunity!
Then, on the big day – you get just one shot at it. And if you win the
Gold Medal – you feel GREAT!
If you can remember all of the following you’ll be a winner!
> Supporting role or a Principal – the team isn’t complete without you.
> The Director is the Team Manager – and therefore is the Boss!
> Do whatever they ask – even if you don’t understand why.
> Develop good projection and make yourself heard!
> Learn the script fully and accurately – and as soon as possible.
> Use your imagination to create convincing characters. Don’t be just YOU!
> Use the stage in a dynamic, confident way. Don't just wander on, say a few lines and wander off again.
Look dynamic and strong – not limp, half-hearted, and weak! Show effort and energy – finish the dance sweating and out of breath!
> Understand the importance of props and costume and look after them properly.
> Have expressions suitable for the mood of the music – smile when you’re happy!
> Work on the show at home, practising your lines, songs and dances.
> If you’re absent, you mess everything up for everyone else!
> Watch your friends, watch TV, DVDs or go to the theatre.
Then say: I can do that better!
