Step 2: Judge your strengths Judge your own strengths. Do you have expressive eyes? An interesting voice? A commanding physical presence?

Even if you’re a nameless passerby, give yourself a persona; it will help you become your role. Tip Be creative with your character, but stay within the director’s boundaries. Step 4: Show enthusiasm Show enthusiasm. That means staying excited, not being irritatingly peppy. Step 5: Stand out in a crowd Act just a little differently than everyone else in the scene. Don’t be distracting, but have a unique mannerism that will draw some attention to you. Step 6: Become your character Think about the back story you’ve created for your role during your big moment; it will help you behave in character.
