How to improve acting skills?

How can I improve my acting skills?

  • I want to take my acting ability further but I always get nervous and my performances lack depth and often come off wooden. All the fellow actors out there; what tips do you have for ...show more

  • Answer:

    i would practice in front of family members. i am in many drama productions and i find if i sing the songs in the shower that helps. i no its odd but it helps. also go over any lines you have and scream them loudly. invite friends over to watch you. if you can't preform with someone watching you, i don't think acting is your thing. if you can preform with someone watching you, ask your director to have more then one night of the show so you can get used to it. or ask he/she to let you practice when the theatre is not in use. good luck and happy acting:)

okay, well i happenly be an actress and model. first, you have to be confident and not be monotone or tone deaf or else you say everything in one tone and its boring! you have to learn to memorize a momolougue in 5 minutes to be able to act it out for an audition or whatever your looking for. every once in a while, go in front of a mirror and start acting and keep control of your tone levels and your facial expressions and make it sound good and real! you cant be shy, and you have to speak up loud and you have to act like how you feel ;)

To be honest, acting is something that you have to be born with, an extra drama flair in your dna. However, every great actor has to fine tune his raw talent, so don't despair! The fastest way to acquire a new skill is to learn from the best, so go search around your local community, enroll in a crazy drama class that allows you to shout and have split personalities and what not, to let your creative juices flow and let go of all inhibitions! Then go watch oscar winning movies, and mouth the words along with the actors, twisting your face and putting tremendous emotion into the words, pretend as if you are the actor. Everyday when you brush your teeth (I sincerely hope its 2 times a day) give yourself 5 minutes, invent something completely over the top or something you feel strongly about and deliver it with exuberance and enthusiasm in front of the mirror. Remember, its all about the eyes, the facial expression, the pitch and quality of your voice, your gestures, the pitch and volume of your voice (Always vary it). I wish you all the best! P.S If you are still young, go explore everything! Photography, Art, Sports, Writing, you never know what you were programmed for until you try it out!

One thing that helped me allot was reading books out loud and really learning to use your voice to make things interesting.
