Acting, can or do you act?

TheCatWoman

I've never really been into acting or drama and I don't think I could do it, or rather not screen acting, I think I could do theatre, I can't get my head around how to act disconnected scenes rather than a whole dialogue thing. It would really discombobulate me if I had act scenes out of sequence because of locations, like if part of the film was outside a stately home and all the scenes inside were filmed in a studio and you had to do all your pieces muddled up.

Sorry I'm not explaining this very well, but do you know what I mean?

Do any of act, apart from masking which is an act but totally different.

  • This is not quite what you mean, but it's voice acting related.

    I've discovered since having kids that I love to do the voices for the characters in books and I'm actually really good at it. I'm a bit sad I don't get to read to them as much now as they are reading themselves, though my daughter still enjoys a picture book now and again. I loved doing the 'Oi frog' series, and my peak was 'Oi duck-billed platypus', as I can do about 20 different voices for that. 

    My daughter used to talk to the characters when she was little, in the middle of the book she'd just start telling them things, so I obviously kept in character with replies. It was sweet that she considered them real.

    I was always too shy to act in school plays back in the day and would worry I looked a little clumsy the way I hold myself -I always look awkward in photos.
