Happy New Year everyone! As we begin 2023, we thought it would be helpful to circle back and address some fundamental ideas about character. Like everything else in acting, this is not a cut and dry, fill-in-the-banks process. Sometimes a large piece of a character is their background, the time period in which they lived, or their social circumstances. Sometimes we’re creating specific character traits. We also cover: whether or not personalities change, how to avoid a one-dimensional character portrayal, and the importance of being able to play a wide range of different human beings.
