Acting and Drama - Sound is Important

The sounds, like the sights of a performance, are vital to the overall success of a show, when you are acting. Making sure that you have auditions for your performance is key to getting the quality sound and personality for the show. Practicing more times than feels needed is key in achieving the quality of sound desired. The expression that you use along with a quality sound system will improve what the audience members hear, as well.

The audition for a show is one of the most important things that a director can do to ensure that the proper actors and actresses are in place. Not only auditioning the potential actors and actresses in their speaking abilities, but also in their vocal abilities, for certain parts is vital to the overall performance. Someone who may be great at acting the part may not be able to sing and note and will cause your audience to focus on the individual being out of tune, rather than experiencing the emotion or statement being reflected in the song. The same is true for an excellent vocalist that cannot act. These little details will ensure that your audience remembers where they were transported to through acting, rather than remembering and commenting on the one actor that sang the whole song out of tune.

Practice makes as close to perfect as one can get in all things in life. The same holds true for one who is an actor or actress. You must ensure that your practices are meeting the standard of excellence that you desire from the performance itself. If you are not acting to the best of your ability during practice times, it is inevitable that you will do the same on opening night. Making sure that you have a lot of time to rehearse will, obviously, improve your quality as well.

There is not enough words to discuss the importance of one's expression, while acting. Not only does your expression affect the way that your audience experiences and is brought into your performance, but it also is something that can be clearly heard in your voice. If your expressions are no more than what your friend would see standing next to you, while you were talking, then that is exactly what your audience will hear. If they wanted to hear someone talking in that manner, they might as well stay at home. Your level of expression will also be impacted by the amount of and the quality of the sound equipment you have available. If a limited amount or no sound equipment is available, your expression is that much more important. Your expression will strengthen and enhance your sound to the viewers.

These are just a few ways that you can improve the sound of your show for your audience. Keep in mind to hold auditions, to practice as though you are performing and to use sound equipment when possible and to show far more expression than your feel is necessary and you will be on your way to making yourself heard in a very good way on stage.
