Hi everyone and welcome, it’s Loren here from Acting Classes In Perth. In this FREE Online Acting Class, The Top 3 Things You Need To Know About Non-verbal Communication as an actor:
1. Non-verbal communication is everything except for the dialog:
Number one: non-verbal communication is everything except for the dialog. So, it could be the posture, the movements, the gesture, the energy, that your character holds in that space.
2. Identify the different ways you can bring across those different traits:
Number two: to develop non-verbal communication skills you wanna identify the different ways that you can bring across those different traits. Now, you do this through observation, through watching others in their everyday life and taking their small micro-expressions – how do these people communicate with other people in different situations with different personalities.
3. Non-verbal communication is very important
And then finally, how important is non-verbal communication. Well, it's so important! The vast majority of your communication as an actor, but also as an individual, as a human, is like eighty percent – the vast majority of your communication is non-verbal. So I want you to work in identifying how you communicate with others in your non-verbal communication. How do you look at them, how do you interact with them, how do you... how far do you stand from them when you talk to them given different scenarios, watch your posture, watch your energy, do you have an increased heart-rate... All these things are non-verbal and it's really important to identify when it comes to your characters.
Well, all the best with your character development and working on your non-verbal communication skills until I see you again next time. Stay safe and, as always, happy acting.
