The hidden monologue of subtext
Hey everyone, today I want to talk to you about subtext and why it's important for you to understand in order to add authenticity and believability to your performance.
Subtext is an inner monologue that helps you to determine your choices when you speak the copy. Think of it as the text that kind of runs underneath the actual copy. In order to understand the subtext you really have to understand the story that's being presented. So then you can then add on those subtle nuances that really add to the authenticity of your performance.
Understanding the subtext of the script is key when making acting choices for your Voiceover performance. It's more than just choosing which word to emphasize, it's about intention and objective. Anne gives you a couple of quick examples as a starting place to discover the subtext in your next script.
