Improv for Character Study
by Drama Teacher Academy
Sometimes actors have to fill in the blanks of a character. Musical theatre actors use their minds (another actor tool) to envision the type of character they want to portray. It is often up to the actor to come up with the character’s personality, movements, and mindset. While the script, music, or libretto music tell an actor what to say, the musical theatre performer must bring the character to life through their own techniques, personal background, and experiences. This lesson prompts students to create characters through improv exercises.
