I am a new voice actor with a burning desire to take my skill to the next level. While my voice acting realism with memorized scripts is relatively good when I'm not reading; there is a problem: My conversational realism is not as good while I'm actually reading. So my question is: *How do I act in a more realistically resonant way when actually reading the script?* By the way, I appreciate the video!
As I said, While this realism does not happen to the same degree when I'm actually reading the script out loud, it happens when I'm beginning to memorize or have memorized the script. These two modes of acting (memorized versus reading) feel very different in my mind. In fact, I find that when *I've realistically acted a memorized script, and I then try to act it while reading the result is not as good as if I'm not reading.
I've also noticed the more I've analyzed the script (and eventually memorized it), and the more I let go and live the story, the more realistic my acting. However, I find it very difficult to achieve the same level of realism while I'm reading the script out loud, even after I've analyzed and memorized it -- *the reading itself seems to get in the way*
So again my question is:*How do I act in a realistically resonant way when reading a script?* I think my challenge is that I have difficulty being fully immersed in or connected to "the theater of my mind" (as I've heard voice actors call it) as I read.
As I said, I'm a new voice actor with a burning desire to take my skill to the next level, and I would deeply appreciate any feedback you can give. Thanks
