The foundation for film acting is stage acting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Stage acting is for me the basic form of acting. If you make films all the time, you have so few possibilities to rehearse. And it's important to rehearse, because it gives you the possibility to try things which are not good!
I've learnt that there's acting for film, acting for theatre, and acting for an audition.
Acting is acting.
Film actors are, by nature, more complicated than stage actors.
I really feel that acting for film and acting for the stage are two different crafts. I think that they share things in common. But I liken it to a painter switching over to photography. There are similar things - you have to be conscious of light and color and form - but it's a whole different medium.
It's very different working on stage to film; the immediacy is there on stage.
I have been taking classes and I'm familiar with stage, but I'm not as familiar with acting on camera.
I have a theory that most people disagree with. I really feel that acting for film and acting for the stage are two different crafts. I think that they share things in common. But I liken it to a painter switching over to photography.
Acting in the theatre is fun; acting in film is work.
Movie acting is about covering the machinery. Stage acting is about exposing the machinery. In cinema, you should think the actor is playing himself, if he's that good. It looks very easy. It should. But it's not, I assure you.
