My acting skills at the moment are ones which have been developed over the years of learning- learning from others, learning from myself. I feel that my main skill as a developing actor is to get lost in my character- I am always interested as to how I can portray the character role, yet also how to feel what they feel. Acting, of course, is an art, and it took me a while to figure out what exactly was meant by that. But I understand now. To place yourself in someone else's shoes- to forget about you and your world- to step into something unknown despite yourself- that is an art. I feel as if my passion for acting as also helped me to create a strong interest towards whatever I am faced in theatre. Me, personally, I find that I enjoy myself so much more when I am intrigued by what I am doing, which is always the case for myself when it comes down to drama. Taking an interest towards my character then helps me to develop the way they speak, use spacial awareness and what kind of appropriate facial expressions to use. If you have this attitude towards your project, then it really helps to bring the script to life, which is key, because- let's be honest. No one enjoys a dull script.
What's more, I know that I have room to improve (as I'm sure we all do) with my improvisation skills- how to free your mind from being limited. I know that as an actor this mind set is cruicial and will help me with many tasks that come my way, so I hope that by studying theatre at BRIT will help me to achieve just this, along with other new skills which I can't wait to take on board!
