Character profiles
Each actor chosen was selected from a
possible group of 3. The actors were told to stand in certain positions and
read in a certain accent, the best of the 3 were chosen for each part while the
other two were asked whether they were interested in any other parts.
The character profiles allow the actor
to maintain a better understanding of the character they are portraying, this
is helpful as they can picture the characters life and imagine as if they are
actually the characters themselves.
