What is Method Acting?
Method acting is where an actor fully embraces their character and incorporates him in day-to-day life. It was created by the actor and theatre director Konstantin Stanislavski although, not referring to his technique as "Method Acting" at the time, it was further adapted by the theatre director Lee Strasberg. It was created in order to help actors create more believable characters and to further enrapture audiences.
What is Classical Acting?
Classical acting is where an actor uses his voice and physicality in order to create a compelling character and was created by the actor and theatre director Konstantin Stanislavski. This technique is generally used when performing in a Shakespeare play but, is also used outside of this genre in other theatre and film productions.
How does Acting on Stage and Film Differ?
There are many differences between acting on a stage and acting in front of a camera for example, if you're on stage, you must project your voice in order to reach audiences nearer the back of the theatre whereas, on a film set, you would not need to project your voice because the boom mic or camera will pick it up.
Other differences include:
On Stage:
In Film:
-You perform in front of a live audience.
-You may have to exaggerate your facial expressions so the audience can see it from a distance.
-Actors will know the script and usually would not need to worry about any changes made to the script before performing.
-Your performance is recorded for the audience to watch at a later date.
-You would not have to exaggerate because it will appear clear on the screen.
-The script may change just before a take where actors would have to quickly memorise new dialogue or blocking for example.
