Lady Gaga as Ally in A Star is Born

Amirah Bilqis 17211144010

What makes an actor truly great? The actor's job is to bring a scripted
character to life. Acting technique is paramount to anyone wanting to be a serious
actor. It's quite easy to imitate a character or even an emotion, but where's the
depth in that? How can you sustain or repeat again what you might have found
intuitively? Do you even know what you did or how you did it?

The technique, however, will help you find a character, which in turn
informs how you approach the text/script/written word. How do you bring the
dialogue alive? How do you know what choices to make? The goal of a trained
actor is to become a fully realised three-dimensional character, with a rich
backstory. I must believe the character you play is truthful and not a cliche, a
caricature, a thin external representation of someone who barely resembles a
human being. I must believe what you say is real and that you're not reciting,
spouting or commenting. Like what richard bolelawsky say “To imitate is
wrong. to create is right”, a great actor does not pretend to be someone else.
They just act as realistic as possible.
