Having the ability to convey a stage presence is one of the most important aspects of being a theatre actor, and it is also (when mastered) possible to transfer the same presence to a camera.
There are some actors that start out in their professions who are naturally charismatic people, who can quickly master the ability to own a stage and be noticed. However, for most actors, stage presence is something that needs development and practice.
Stage presence is also a key factor which the majority of writers, producers and directors will look for in acting auditions.
• The lead actor in any performance will often take a position in centre stage and build energy with the crowd from moving left to right initiating eye contact with the audience is vital.
• If there is a song either performed by you or another actor always use parts of your body to convey the rhythm. Simple movements show you are enjoying what you are doing and pull your audience in.
• If it is an upbeat play, have fun with it – even if you’re nervous. Performing for a live crowd is a very rewarding and stimulating experience for an actor. Enjoy your contribution to the production and let your audience see this excitement in you.
