When I'm working on my characters, that's something I pay a lot of attention to: how their body works, how they move, how they articulate.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A thing I do with all my characters is I break them down into one of three things: mind, heart, and groin. I figure out where they come from and what they utilize most.
Often you find the character through the things they say. How they talk about other people, how they describe themselves - which is very rare.
I try mainly to just focus on character and what my character's point of view is, with each person, and try to figure out story.
When I'm trying to find my way into a character, the voice and physicality are the first two things I do.
I try to use all of my senses when describing a setting, and try to think of everything that would impact a character in any given scene.
Often the starting point for characters, for me, is finding a little, most minor detail, and I'll go from there.
I am good when there is something central about the character. There is always a human theme I attach myself to. I am really looking for something that is moving or enlightening or something with depth as an actor. I look for these kinds of roles.
How I would describe my characters is absolutely different from how I would describe myself.
I love saying dialogue and creating a full character more than just being physical. But I always end up doing physical stuff in my roles.
I think you can do a lot, like describing people with their physical characteristics, things like that, but to me, I've always found it to be a much more informative question to ask somebody what they read.
