Abstract
Each actor has their own approach to creating and bringing to life a character. From the moment they are cast in their role to their final performance bows, there is a specific process that is followed to make that character on a page turn into a living person with a past, a present and future. Acknowledging the things they want, need and must have and making bold choices to achieve them. Making those words within a script, their own personal thoughts, feelings and reactions. This is an examination of my ever-growing acting process.
