Actor

for actors and actresses. As we progress each day, we start to realize that there are standards on what we should have in terms of how our body looks due to Social media. The expectations of actors and actresses bodies from the past may be laughed upon or degraded in today's society. When time periods changes, so does expectations in society. Today, men may have to have huge pecs and a six-pack on their stomachs, while women may need a big chest and a big butt. Although actresses and actors…

The thought of ever becoming an actor or musician was always a dream, but now I know that after googling myself, I've learned that if I would ever want to become a famous actor or a musician I would not be able to use my real name or else it might be mixed up with Brian Nash, an actor from the 1960's or another Brian Nash, a famous British musician. Brian Nash the actor, was born in Glendale, California on May 20th, 1956. He was most famous for roles in 1960's T.V. series such as Please Don't…

a play funny, Kaitlyn whitehead had great character choices that were very funny. All of the actors had really good projection and annunciation, but Kennon's annunciation was superb. Jonelle could have used more variety in her voice, doing that could have benefited her character. The blocking flowed very smoothly and I was happy to see all of the stage being used. It was a good idea to have the actors sit in the actual audience, I have never seen that done before. Jonelle and lava were in…

The given circumstances can whether relate to the character or the play itself To achieve the realism Stanislavski put so much work to explored this topic so that the actors would be able to truly understand their role and become more realism. From his book “An Actor Prepares”, he taught the actors how to answer any of given circumstances question to about their character's parentage, childhood or stuff that aren't mentioned in the script. Stanislavski said “the reality of the inner…

Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet was put on by the Brown/Trinity MFA program. In the 2nd year of the program, the students put on two Shakespearean plays simultaneously. The cast is also in rep meaning, it is the same cast of actors for both productions. For the Brown Trinity MFA program, the leads in one of the shows will be minor characters for the other. Each year the MFA program likes to feature one area of social discussion for each play. For Romeo and Juliet,…

insanely overrated. I think talent comes through hard work and learning the craft. I find this an interesting occupation I 'm in, and I guess I 've always approached if differently than most of the world. I know a lot of people think that to be an actor, you have to be born with it. Everyone assumes that everyone who does it is just naturally good at it. What we do is we recreate real life, human experiences on cue and on command, but all we 're doing is recreating humanity. So the first…

Casting is a vital part of creating a movie and the director must be involved in the process to bring his or her vision to life. In the case of some movies any actor who fits a general type will be able to fulfill a director’s vision, but in other cases there is only one actor who will work in the role. Both of these situations are reflected in the casting of the protagonists in The Drop and Spy. The movie Spy without the casting of Melissa McCarthy would have lost the impact of the majority of…

the theatre. This is the chief secret of our art” (Stanislavski, 1936). When analyzing Nicolas Cage, it is clear that he provides his own inspiration; yet he does not receive the sort of recognition an actor of his talents might deserve. This leads to Nicolas Cage being one of the most polarizing actors of all time and yet I believe that Cage is perhaps also one of the greatest performers of his generation. My reasons for this are noted in Cage’s two academy awards and his ability to commit to…

Before this course began, I used to think that acting was all about the individual actor, and how well that actor can portray his/her character. I thought that actors in a play work as distinctive units, and that if every unit can perform his/her character realistically and execute every line flawlessly, the final performance would be fantastic, and the audience would have a great time. Acting 1 has taught me that the art of acting is actually much more intricate and eclectic than individuals…

Primal Fear. Even though he wasn’t the star of this movie, his acting landed him an Oscar nomination. The actors in the film are not always the stars; some can be cast as supporting actors as Norton was or as extras. In this film, the star role went to Richard Gere, who is also a brilliant actor and one of my favorite. According to the textbook, the difference between a star and the supporting actor in a…
