Body language is essential for an actress, even if you don't use your body in an athletic way. Just to be free, to use it like your voice. A body can be small and have incredible violence. A body talks.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Actors only have our bodies, voices, and the text. So I think actors need to have a fit and in-tune body. I was always very disciplined in wanting to have that. That's one of my favorite things - playing a role with a physical requirement.
Body language is a very powerful tool. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently, 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.
When you're an actress you've got to keep your body as your sanctuary and your muscles.
I think there's something to be said for being physical in acting.
If you've ever been around a group of actors, you've noticed, no doubt, that they can talk of nothing else under the sun but acting. It's exactly the same way with baseball players. Your heart must be in your work.
When people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I'm just a face or a body to them.
I assume the body language no matter what in doing voiceover. There is a transformative aspect.
I love body language.
For me, actors have to have a character, an aura, body language. They're not models. They used to call actors models. But I want them to participate in the film.
Actors always start with the voice and language. That's wrong. They should start with the body. The body is an actor's most important resource.
