Acting Tools You Already Have

                                        

                              

You’ll have learnt about Seven Acting Tools! you didn’t even realize you had: tools for self-taping or creating original film content. This post will show you it’s possible to create your own materials as an actor without forking out hundreds of dollars.

You'll learn about 7 Acting Tools! which are below:

#1 A Camera Phone

The first acting tool you likely already have is a camera phone. Most phones nowadays have a built-in camera and the visual quality is usually reasonably good. Of course, it’s awesome to have a professional camera but it is more than possible to shoot high-quality content on a phone.

#2 A Plain Wall

Having a plain backdrop is essential for filming self-tapes. As an actor, you want to be able to film self-tapes at home at short notice, as hiring a studio space is time-consuming and the cost adds up. While it is ideal to have a blue or grey backdrop, a plain white wall will do the trick.

#3 Voice Memos

The voice memos app can be useful for recording vocals and sound effects. If you find your camera phone does not record good quality audio, this can be a great alternative.

#4 Free Film Software

We are lucky to live in a time where there is so much free film editing software out there, for example, MacBook computers will come with iMovie built-in, and Windows have a similar software called Video Editor.

#5 Word Processing Software

Lots of actors think that to write scripts, they need professional screenwriting software. Screenplays have a specific format and if you want to imitate this formatting it can help to use software like Final Draft, Squealer or Fade In.

#6 Creative Friends

Finding like-minded creatives as an actor is so beneficial. Fellow creatives, whether they are actors, musicians, writers, directors or film crew, are your best resource in this industry. This is partially because you can collaborate on projects together, like short films, sketches, plays and self-tapes.

#7 Friends or Family

It’s awesome to practice lines and film content with fellow actors. But when you don’t have an acting partner nearby, a willing (or reluctant) friend or family member will often do the trick.
