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.

  • I can in the right circumstances. e.g. With a script, and with rehearsing.

    I had a brief attempt at playing the part of a racist in a short video a few years ago. This was difficult because there was no script, so it was difficult to make up racist abuse off the top of my head (and I was also a bit embarrassed doing it in a busy city centre). Had the exact words been scripted, and I'd had plenty of time to rehearse, I would have been fine.

    Its a bit like when giving speeches/presentations/etc. I can do it confidently, but I have to know what I am talking about! If I don't, I can't.

    I did enjoy drama in year 7 at school and we had a really good drama teacher (he left at the end of the year), but I got bullied by other people in the class so it was difficult to get on with some people which didn't help. I lost interest but in more recent years I have wondered whether it might be worth pursuing in some way.
