I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don't get that laugh, there's something wrong.
It's hard enough to write a good drama, it's much harder to write a good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is.
You know, comedy's hard. With drama, you have a responsibility to the emotional truth, but with comedy, you have emotional truth and you have technique on top of it.
I feel more comfortable in drama. Comedy is a high-wire act. I find it stressful. It's a precision science in a way.
Creating a wonderful drama is an art form, while comedy is just entertainment.
Drama comes more naturally to me. It's the comedy you really have to delve into.
To be perfectly honest, drama is a lot simpler than comedy.
Drama is easier to do because you just have to have the emotion and not get caught acting, but comedy is much harder.
People think comedians don't do drama. Comics are drama. And what is drama, as opposed to comedy? It's all the same to me.
Comedy has to be so much cleaner than drama. You can't layer it in the way you can a dramatic performance. Which is why it's more difficult than drama - you don't have so many tricks.
