Content excerpt from “5 tips… auditions.”
When Stanislavsky developed his method, his primary goal was to give actors the tools they could use to deliver the most realistic performance possible. Breaking with the standing rule of bodywork and voice projection as the most important work an actor could do, he wanted to instill emotion in the audience through naturalism and empathy.
In other words, actors were trained to memorize their lines, speak them loudly and clearly, and move on the stage precisely. Stanislavsky observed that some actors delivered a great performance, making the audience enjoy the story whereas others seemed to act robotically and were not as entertaining to watch.
He started his experimental lab with improvisation and trial-and-error exercises. His goal was to create every scene with meaning: a person does not just leave their house through the front door; the scene starts a moment before that – when they mentally set their goal to “go out” and proceed to get ready, grab their keys, make sure they locked everything, etc.
With this approach to acting, where an actor fills the shows of a character with their personal senses and emotions, performances reached a new level of excellence. Until this day, actors all over the world aim for that naturalism when performing. That creates more compelling stories to watch. Once you know your character’s intention and establish their demeanor, explore the actual words they say. Every character has a personality and a demeanor, as we just talked about. Now take it to the next level: find out what the most important words are said in every line. Highlight that word or those words and give them special color and musicality. Make sure your audience does not only hear those words but fully embody their meaning in the context. Words are also important. Stress them accordingly.
