I need stage acting tips?

That's exactly how I felt before our play! wierd....

anywho...here's some tips-

1) Anunciate (I can't spell it). It may sound clear to you, but it most likely isn't to the audience. If you have braces (like me sadly..) you need to over-anunciate.

2) React to things that happen. This means any sound effects (like a gunshot) or what people are saying and doing. BUT- don't react to the audience!

3) Pause for laughter. When it dies down a bit pick right back up.

4) Make your facial expressions big! It may seem stupid but otherwise it looks like you're not doing anything. When we did Steel Magnolias I had to act out a seizure. (It's a lot harder than it looks) That had to be HUGE motion...enough to spill juice all over me and mess up my hair.

hope this helps! break a leg!

Acting is just pretending. The key to both is believability. Obviously you did something right already; you've got a role. Memorization is key, but don't forget to listen and genuinely react. You have to actually hear and understand what the other character is saying, and then understand what your character would feel. Subtext is great; try spending one day as your character and saying out loud everything she would feel. Or suggest maybe having a subtext rehearsal. Everyone talks all the time but only says what their character is feeling/thinking. Most of the time the lines just come. It's a challenge and they're great fun!!!

Talk to the director and find out what they're looking for with your character. Good for you for learning your lines. I always do that first too. Then I try saying them in different ways until it feels right. I also try and think about how my character would walk, move, laugh, speak, etc. hope that heps.

To have been given a lead role, you must have done something right. Congratulations and Break a Leg!

practice, practice, practice..... Act out a scene at home with a family member, try to connect with the audience when you have a dress rehearsal infront of the directors. Just be your character. Walke around in her shoes for a while.

You should read the wonderful acting theory by Constantin Stanislavski. One of the masters.

projection, projection, PROJECTION. One the most important things you need to know. Make sure that person seated in the back row can hear you.

If it's stage acting - bring it up.

If it's film acting - bring it down.

try to listen some songs so that it makes you comfortable before performing on stage.
