Act like a cartoon character

We all act a certain way and when we act simply by the way we are at the moment we aren’t acting out of conviction but out of a state of uncertainty.

We act the way we feel and so our actions are dominated by how we feel.

During my time onstage I worked with the director who concentrated on how things looked. He wasn’t concerned with what we felt about the character but about the way the audience was seeing the character.This was a sort of plastic way of acting and it gave me a clou about life.

There’s a conscious connection between the mind and the body so when we act from the body first we can control the mind. That may seem a little backwards but it works. Yes that is a command coming from the mind but we are when doing that we are controlling the mind and not being controlled by the mind so it is like sitting at the computer and typing in the commands instead of having the commands be automatically given by the computer so in life if all you do is is fake it for you’re acting the way a cartoon character acts and then if you act that way you will soon feel that way and that is an empowering feeling.

another thing you can do to get yourself feeling good is to perform in front of the camera. When kids are misbehaving if you point the camera at them they will stop acting poorly usually.

because when someone is watching we act differently. So I camera is like you watching yourself. And so you act for the camera and I put you in a good mood.

as the saying goes all the world is a stage and all the people are merely characters playing a role. So performed for yourself and feel the way you want to feel.

Try it!

Have a good day.
