Where do the characters go when not in use?
Good Morning, Something very weird happened.Where do characters go when they are not in use? Where do they hide out? I was watching Monster
Madhouse last night as I was working. I realized something, and this is
very strange, when I am watching Slo Frank
on the screen, while I am sitting there watching the show, I tend to go
in and out of character. I do not know if I do this all the time
because I do not pay attention, but i know that it does happen, and has
happened before. All of my characters are very very personal to me and
they are in fact, a mind altering
experience, with great depth. When I deliver you get what you pay for. I
have said on numerous occasions that when I am in a role there is
usually still a 5 to 10 percent me still in there somewhere floating
around almost as a safety net. I am beginning to wonder if while I am
not in character if the characters are still lingering around in their
own kind of safety net. Ready to reappear if needed when the
surroundings become overly familiar and something triggers it. I don't
know. I wish I could video my face without me knowing it while I am
watching myself do a deep performance and see where my eyes go, see
where my facial expressions go, and see where my mind goes. It's kind of
creepy when you think about it. I do know that when I do go in to
character, I am tucked away inside somewhere and I am warm. It happens
when I get comfortable writing too. I become very warm. My body
temperature changes. Like I am covered up by somebody else warm skin.
When these things happen I know that I am "there". Who knows. Maybe I am
going crazy,
