"That's very specific. Acting isn't about playing a specific role, one doesn't always become someone from a clan great or minor. Some pieces don't have clans at all, to avoid offense to any others. The idea of acting is to take a role from the paper and breathe life into it. Give it feelings, emotions. Give it a voice, a personality. Make it live. I'll make an example."
She paused, to think a moment, before speaking.
"Imagine the role of a painter. On paper the painter is someone lacking in confidence but loves their art. If you take that, bring it to life. Picture it as a person. How do you do that?"

"Mmmmm... I suppose they would always be looking for... inspiration, but they would be nervous about speaking with others. I would, perhaps, have them sometimes speak of their art at times that are slightly... inappropriate to the current topic of discussion?"Usogawa Emiko wrote: ↑Sun Aug 08, 2021 2:56 pmEmiko looked slightly confused at that.

"Perfect" Emiko nodded "now hold onto that and bring it to life. Try thinking like that person. How would they be now, speaking with a friend here?"Kakita Sakura wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 7:34 am"Mmmmm...

Her lips twitch slightly. "Perhaps, they would be speaking of things more private than normal."

"See, you've brought the character to life" Emiko said with a smile "now become the character. That's what acting is; bringing the story to life, and becoming the character in the story."Kakita Sakura wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 12:07 pmSakura hums. "Blunt.
