Ross: 'In the shower I am kinda playing with these characters. That sounds really weird'. Me....🤯
@elijahnajera5425 4 years ago

Becoming my characters is no problem for me, I often act out my characters to get a feel of how my characters look, act, and move better. Boy, girl, old, young, human or monster, nothing is beyond my acting.

My biggest issue is coming up with an outfit for my character, I try to use references as much as possible but I still struggle with it a lot, idk if there’s a specific way to learn

Lyris reminded me of Esdeath from Akame Ga Kill "She's like,, elegant and beautiful- but she's deadly." lmao

I think maybe instead of "Become your character" it should be "Be passionate about your character". I feel that if people tie their sense of self too closely to their characters it makes it harder for them to notice any flaws or receive criticism. If you are your character any critiques your character receives feel like attacks against you as a person.
