working out your objectives

It is important that you know your objective for every single line your character says. For example one of my lines is 'I forbid you to go' and my objective is to control. It is so important because it makes your lines have meaning. If you know your objective it is much easier to act with your whole body and not just your face. It  makes your lines flow and they sound more natural. It doesn't look like you are pretending when you are playing your character, because you really are working to achieve your objective.

It is important that when you get your script, you read through it and write an objective next to each line, or even each part of a line. It is easier to work out the objectives if you perform the scene a few time and work out what objectives you character has, depending on the other characters responses and actions.
