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.

  • When I was an undergraduate I spent a lot of time involved in light opera: a nice mix of singing and acting. I found it liberating. I could be someone else entirely and behave in ways that would just not be possible in the everyday world. And I could be so much more articulate than in daily life because everything was carefully scripted.

    Of course, with an opera (like theatre) there is a clear sequence. Having to do things out of sequence would be quite disturbing (though come to think of it, I was once involved in recording a choral piece with the RSNO and managed to survive repeat takes of sections of the work).
