A CHARACTER IS A MASK!
When creating a character, always remember that you are putting on a mask to tell a story. It's very easy to slip into being yourself when performing because it's "how you'd react".
Try distancing yourself physically and vocally so that you are able to create more of a fully-rounded character.
Top Tip: When you take a step away from how you would react, it allows you to see what creative decisions work for your character and also what your character needs in order to stand out.
