Projecting Your Image:

I know, I know, it’s been a couple of weeks – I’ve been a busy bee releasing a new effect (VANITY) and gigging about the place, as you do!

So, moving on from filtering material, it’s all good and well having our character clear in our own mind, what we can and cannot do and the stylish threads which grace our backs fit perfectly with the tone of our voice… That’s no good however unless the spectators can grasp the character and understand what we are and what in the world we are doing!

To be slightly less vague, imagine going to a fancy dress party, you’ve decided to go as a banana – nice idea. So, you put on some yellow shoes, socks and a yellow t-shirt… Because you know what you are, it’s easy for you to jump to the conclusion that you are a banana, but if someone approaches you cold, they may not have a clue why you are dressed in such a mono-colored fashion!

How do we get the message across we want to? Easy. Believe it yourself and play the role. Look over your notes from the last four articles and stand in front of the mirror.

It sounds extremely obvious to say that you just need to do what we’ve been discussing, but it really is one thing reading an article of this manner and a whole other to put it into action!

So this is your task. I want you to look over everything again and just go out one evening to a bar and play your character. Go to a bar you’ve never been to before and play the role, get used to interacting they way your character interacts with people, practice makes perfect.

Next time I feel we may just wrap up this series and move onto another subject, if there is anything you feel like you want to ask or have any ideas of another subject you’d like us to cover, just sent an email to DC@Mindlapse.net and I’ll sort you out!

Peace out world!!
