Lights, camera…..ACTION!

What else if we’re all not busy hustling with Prosa Mania 2019? As their team, I’m also a part of this upcoming production, which is the actor team. So, let me expose about what we did a few weeks back then.

Little did I know that acting was just piece of cake, but deep down, it’s harder than it seems. I took that challenge. I faced it. I encounter it. I confront it. No matter how good you are, but without practices, it means nothing.

“So, what is the rehearsal all about?”

Well, every time we had rehearsals, we always started with proper warm ups to ensure that we could avoid body injuries. Acting does need exercise, not to mention vocals. The isolation warm up comes in, then followed by vocal and speech exercises so that we don’t get twisted with our own lines.

One thing for sure, which is out of other important notes being an actor is to be CONFIDENT. Personally, I do get tired sometimes but if I don’t give it a try, I will never know, wouldn’t it?

Here are some useful tips for being an actor especially beginners:

  • Be confident
  • Be wise
  • Control our energy and vocal stamina
  • Speaks dynamically
  • Dominant spaces
  • Mind your blocking
  • Try to be relax in a suitable way

Experience is the best teacher.

Yes. That’s what they always said. Mostly, experience takes place within ourselves that would lead us to improvising, fixing and becoming better. I rather say that we could not promise that we are in good track but sometimes we lost it. Yet, we helped others to give them support and friendly advises.

I just thought that , in a team, we all had the same, we all felt the same because we are all in this together. No one is left behind. We make sure that everybody work and rest. But actors, we’ll just keep on improvising the lines, the best that we could.

As long as the countdown keeps marked on the calendar, we will make it together.
