Things to do the be a great actor ?

-I like acting and all but what can I do to be a great acotr

if you have any scripts (even invented ones can you give me the link)

what are some acting exercises?

How to for example cry like in the movies or have a fear face or have a angry face etc

thanks ppl and happy 4th of july ^^When you're in character, really get behind all that's happening in the scene and really get to know your character. What are his parent's like? How many pet's does he has? If he brought a punker rock girl home, what would his Grandpa say? Things like that...Well, are you taking classes? Are you going to a drama school? Are you getting experience in a community theatre?

Really, unless you're getting some sort of training, nothing you can do at home will help much.



Self-teaching usually results in picking up lots of really bad habits which may be impossible to break, and no-one can accurately assess their own progress, skills or talent.



Becoming a great actor takes years of training and gaining experience.

And, of course, a huge natural talent.
You gave yourself examples. You could practice making youself cry or look into a mirror and practice different emotions. And the most important thing is HAVE CONFIDENCE!! Btw there are many famous plays you could get from a book or google so you find one of your liking. Good luck(:
Have perseverance.



Try different techniques and see which one clicks with you the best (Meisner, Strasberg, Stella Adler, Stanislavski, etc).
