How to Create a Character for a Play (Acting Workshop)

Описание: Welcome to the Character Creation Lab, a step-by-step guide on how to bring any character to life! This video is designed for acting, drama, and theater students who want to go beyond the script and build a character with a real, complex backstory and personality. We use Belle and the Baker's Wife from Beauty and the Beast as examples to show how the same actor can create two completely different characters.

This lesson is perfect for any classroom or individual actor wanting to learn the fundamentals of characterization. You'll learn the crucial questions to ask yourself to give your character depth, motivation, and a unique voice.
