So, when youre acting, you need to become that character. Its, uh, imperative for you to think and feel just like that character would. These acts can make your character genuine and believable.,For example, say youre going to play the title role of Shakespeares play Henry VIII. Well, if youre going to be a king, then youll have to act like one. You have to carry yourself like one. You think, no, you know that youre better than the rest of the people on stage Henry was a proud man, convinced that his actions were right. You actually need to feel that kind of confidence in order to be a convincing king. If you cant do that, well, than youre not going to be believable. The audience will recognize that, and your performance, and the overall play, will suffer. Let me give you another example.

Become him, and youll have mastered the role and become a real actor.,Sample Answer: (2-40),The professor provides a couple of examples of how an actor can become more convincing to the audience when playing various roles.

He mentions that Hamlet is a complicated role since he is seeing ghosts and pretending to be insane. The professor insists that the actor must actually become Hamlet by feeling the things he feels and thinking the thoughts he thinks.,Useful Expressions:,Expressions that can be used in telling about the subject The professor/lecturer discussed The majority of the lecture was about.
