Hi Anab, Welcome to the group! Here’s an answer to your questions: When analysing a script for a self tape (or any other reason) start by asking yourself the ‘W’ questions ie who, what, where, when, why (see below for a detailed explanation). As for ‘warm up’ techniques, you don’t really need to do this for self tapes. Once, you’ve done the preparation as outlined below, just run the scene as many times as you need. The first few takes will be enough of a warm up (and they might even be the best as they are fresh!). Here’s an AI explanation of W questions: The Five Ws (and How) are one of the most effective tools for script analysis. They help an actor move beyond memorising lines to understanding the character’s world, objectives, and behaviour. Every answer should come from the script whenever possible, with informed imagination filling in any gaps. 1. WHO? Who am I? This explores the character’s identity and relationships. Ask yourself: - What is my name, age and occupation? - What is my social status? - What are my beliefs and values? - What are my strengths and weaknesses? - How do I see myself? - How do other characters see me? - What is my relationship with each character? - What happened in my life before the play began? Purpose: Creates a complete, believable person rather than simply delivering dialogue. 2. WHAT? What is happening? This examines the action and objectives. Ask yourself: - What is happening in this scene? - What do I want? (My objective.) - What am I trying to achieve? - What obstacle is preventing me from getting it? - What tactics do I use to overcome those obstacles? - What changes by the end of the scene? Purpose: Acting is pursuing an objective. Every line should be motivated by wanting something. 3. WHERE? Where am I? This defines the physical environment. Ask yourself: - Where is the scene set? - Is it public or private? - What does the space look like? - What can I see, hear, smell and feel? - How does the environment affect my behaviour? - Do I feel comfortable or threatened here?
