“JUST BE YOURSELF” IS THE WORST PIECE OF ACTING ADVICE!
Written By Renato Rizzuti & Photo By Maria Rizzuti
“Just be yourself” is the worst piece of acting advice I have ever received! This was from a so called “expert” who supposedly had a wealth of experience with actors and acting!
If I was to just be myself, I would probably take a nap or enjoy a nice cup of espresso! Marlon Brando who was the top actor of our time, would probably mumble incoherently!
The whole point of playing a fictional character is to totally transform yourself into that character’s persona. You must concentrate on that character’s manner of speaking, that character’s body language and that character’s way of thinking.
You cannot just be yourself. When acting you speak much more clearly, you walk more purposely and you think in that character’s mindset.
You must represent a dramatic or comical character unlike yourself.
Fictional characters on film or on stage tend to be larger than life. Under normal circumstances you present a perfectly normal scale and are not larger than life.
By the way, when are you just being yourself? Probably when you are alone in private are you just being yourself. Audiences want to see a show! Audiences want to see you perform!
When you are just being yourself, you may find yourself amused. However, that does not make a good show!
The show is the king where upon “acting” is the thing!
