Question

" Acting is Reacting" what does that really mean?

Answer 1

It means that you're always reacting to the situation, the environment and other characters. Every line that comes out of your mouth is a reaction to something that happened and the thoughts that were triggered because of it.

No lines come out of nowhere. There's a reason for everything that your character does--be it a reaction to something another character said/did, to something in your environment, or something in your character's past.

Answer 2

theres many diffrent answers to this but Ive made my own little thing. acting is reacting means (to me) that instead of acting like your character your reacting to his or her thoughts or reacting to what the scenes about if your in a death type scene you want to react to the killer killing you you don't want to act like the killer is killing you. there are many answers to this and i think you should just find out what it means to you.

my acting class and i always joke about this and no one know the direct approach or right answer to this.
