Take Yourself out of the Mix

<p>When creating a character, it’s important to take yourself out of the mix. If you don’t, you’ll bring the character down to you, falling back on how <em>you</em> would react to the given circumstances, as opposed to taking stock of what you know about the character, and building a human being based on those facts. If you know where the character ends up— being a success— then you can further examine the nature of that fact: what is the makeup of a successful person? How do they operate in the world? What do they do? Also, this episode is worth listening to just to hear Milton talk about Wu-Tang.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/actingclass/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/actingclass/support</a>
