As any good commercial acting class with teach you, a successful actor must consider human emotion and nature in any and every performance. However, an actor does not need to suffer in order to successfully perform in auditions and land meaningful roles. How can an actor embrace a role and explore a stereotype without becoming lost in the role?
When talking about character identities and stereotypes, distortion immediately comes to mind. Regardless of whether the actor is learning commercial acting techniques or methods for other types of acting, distortion is a necessary talent. All actors distort the truth, from those who are involved in dramatic films to those that perform on reality shows. A properly executed distortion can actually allow us to see ourselves more clearly. This is, in reality, the job of the actor.
