September 19, 2008, Newsletter Issue #134: Build Your Vocabulary
Tip of the Week
This seems a bit strange to be included in acting tips, but it ties in with script analysis. Building your vocabulary as an actor will help you immensely because let’s face it, if you don’t understand the words in a script you don’t understand what you’re saying and when that happens, you’re out of the play and into your head trying to put meaning where you have none. Building your vocabulary also helps you clarify your choices. How many times have you said, or heard someone say, “Well, I know what I want to say, I just can’t think of the words.” If you can’t think of the words, then you don’t know what to say. How can you have a coherent thought or decision without possessing the words to express it?
