In cartoons and in improv, anything can happen. You can be any character you want. The rules of real life don't always apply.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As long as I can wear a wig I can be any character, and in real life I can be myself.
You can perform all kind of characters but you cannot change what people feel for you.
In order to make characters real - no matter what the character is doing - you have to see yourself as capable of having done that.
Confident people, who understand comedy, improvise so much better than people who are scared. You can't be scared to improvise. You have to know your character, and then you have to let go.
One has to be able to twist and change and distort characters, play with them like clay, so everything fits together. Real people don't permit you to do that.
You must lose yourself if you want to be successful in animation and be the character.
You and the character just become the same person in a way. There isn't really a character; it's just you creating this illusion.
You can't form a character without being completely comfortable with who you are as a person.
I like playing characters that are true to life, and there's no guarantee that any of us are going to be okay, but we intend to be, and we take the time to try to be. I don't think it's any different for a character.
I don't think anyone can do any character that doesn't have at least some ounce of themselves in it. You are who you are, and your brain is drawing on things that you've experienced.
