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.
