EMOTIONAL CHANGE
Hey Actorsiters!
It’s Day 9 in our Countdown of our 12-day series - Fundamental Questions to ask about your character!
Today we’re talking about EMOTIONAL CHANGE. Just like in real life, emotions of characters in TV shows and movies shift over time—and these emotional shifts are often what drive the most exciting parts of the story!
Maybe you’re feeling anxious one moment and confident the next. Perhaps a surprise twist (or a small victory) has made you feel more optimistic than ever. These emotional transitions are a big part of your journey!
💭 Reflection: Imagine a character going through an emotional rollercoaster. How do they handle it? Do they stay calm under pressure, or do they let their emotions run wild?
📝 Action Step: Think about one emotional change you’ve gone through in the past week. What triggered it? How did you handle it? Can you bring that experience into any character development that you may be working on currently? Or, write about your personal experience in your actor journal/notebook so you can use it for your next character analysis for any class scenes or auditions. Juicy stuff!
