Getting Into Your Character!

Cheryl had a great comment in another post.  I'm pulling it up here, so more people might read it:


" I just learned this in Oct, actors get Into their roles by making a list ALL about their character,what is their favorite color,food,fun thing to do. What family members do u have? Where r u from? etc... Not you of course, your character, who is someone completely different from you. Try it!"


Great idea!  Start on your list now, and plan on a quiz on April 12!

So, shall I make two lists? One for being a German spy and the other for being a German spy pretending to be a U.S.O. assistant? When you quizz us next week, in what character should I respond?

I think it would be more interesting to get the back story on how you became a spy. You can add elements of how you became Angie Wilberforce and got the job at the USO. You can assume total confidentiality, and no one in the audience will rat you out to the authorities. :) Of course, we won't have time in the next few weeks for everyone to give a long, detailed account of their lives. The main thing is that you know the extended version, and if you want to share it with your friends and fellow spies, that would be great.

Hope that helped,
