Newcomer Rytasha Rathore, who is seen portraying an over-sized girl Badho in &TV’s show Badho Bahu is taking audience and industry by storm with her flawless acting talent.
The young lass started her career with theatre in Mumbai. Being a theatre artist and having grown up in South Mumbai, Rytasha was initially very apprehensive to do television soap, but eventually caved in as playing a rural Haryanvi girl presented a challenge for her as an actor.
Although her character on screen portrays a meek rural bride, Rytasha is the complete opposite in real life.
Her acting skill has become the talk of the town and hence we asked the beauty to share some acting tips. Here read on for some expert tips...
Acting is all about listening
Listen to your co-actor. Listen to your body. Just listen!! Don't pretend to listen. Actually pay attention to what the other person is saying.
Leave your ego at the door
There is no room for your ego when you are acting. That's the most important thing I learnt at drama school. Approach your work with humility and curiosity. We will never know everything - nobody does. Every single day there is something new to learn. Never assume anything. And don't direct your co-actors - that isn't your job. There's a director for that.
Read the script
The clues are in the text. If you read the script closely enough you will find out everything there is to know about the scene. At least for TV, the script is my main reference point. Also, punctuation marks are so important. It really assists in dialogue delivery if you understand punctuation.
Breathe
Breathing is possibly the most important thing for an actor. Just breathe and speak. Or breathe and listen. But just breathe. It helps me to stay in the moment and not get distracted.
Be present
Lastly, stay in the moment. Be present. It is all happening now. The character is experiencing what you are acting for the first time. So even if you've rehearsed it 100 times, the character doesn't know what's about to happen. So just play every moment - never ahead and never before the line or the moment that is currently happening.
How’s it coming from a newbie like Rytasha? Stunningly true and awesome, right!!
Bravo girl, Rytasha. Guess your tips will be the talk of the town now...
