Example: Using pencil for a wand - **6 Questions ** 1. Who or What? 2. Is Doing What? 3. To Whom or What 4. Where and When? 5. To What End? 6. The Obstacle? - **Substitution and Emotional Recall ** (Emotional Recall is an actor using an event that occurred in their life as well as the character they are playing and remembering those emotions they felt and using it in their scene. Substitution is an actor taking an event that occurred in their life, even though it is not the same event that is happening to the character you are playing, and using it to conjure those emotions for the scene.) - **Relaxation ** (This is helpful for memorization, pace, and the connection that the actor has with their character.) - **Given Circumstances ** (Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How) -**Public Solitude ** (An actor acting is if alone and no one is watching them)
