You can't just sit there and do the lines. You have to do something revealing or unusual.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's nowhere to hide in the theatre. You can't be the one in rehearsal who doesn't know their lines.
Because if I don't know my lines, I really don't know what I'm doing.
Keep everything in context, and try to have each line doing more than one thing - not just giving exposition but also revealing character and history, etc.
The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!
Lines are very difficult to learn.
I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them.
Oh yes. I'm an actor, so I just learn my lines, and show up and do it. I gave it a little bit of thought.
I'm not into that method acting thing. I just turn up, say my lines and go home.
Just say the lines and don't trip over the furniture.
Know your lines and don't bump into the furniture.
