On stage, you've got dialogue you've learned. You've got a paying audience. It couldn't be better, you know?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Stage is about imperfections and working with them, whether it be from you or the audience.
For film and TV, try to have a more conversational tone. For stage, you'll need better diction and bigger vocal production.
The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.
I think the more you do this and the more comfortable you become on stage, you start speaking more and becoming more of a character in yourself.
Acting on stage is a living organism you can never pin down, and I believe the audience feeds off that, too.
Stage actors are usually much more conscious of speaking up and making sure that everyone can hear in the back of the theatre; a film actor probably thinks of that a little less.
On the stage, you have to find truth, even if you have to lose the audience.
The performances you have in your head are always much better than the performances on stage.
Somebody has to be on stage, and some people have to be in the audience. That's the only difference. Don't put any thought as to why you are on the stage or how you need to be 'better' than the people in the audience. You aren't better. You're simply the speaker.
I never used to speak to the audience at all. I never really knew what to say onstage.
