Journal In Character

Journal In Character is the first prompted journal created to guide young actors through detailed character analysis as part of their process in preparing for a role.

 

When you get a role in a production, it is your job as an actor to fully flesh out your character’s life. To get to know your character as well as you know yourself. This is called creating detailed character analysis, and it is a widely used preparation tool for actors which will help you deliver a richer and deeper performance.

 

Journalling has become a popular tool in modern life, helping people to gain clarity on their emotions, thoughts and dreams, and to achieve their goals. It is also why it is the perfect tool to use as an actor to help you dig deep and create your character analysis.

Journal In character invites you to live and breathe as your character and step into their imaginary world.

  • When to use?

    Journal In Character is to be used when you have an acting role to work on and therefore a character to develop.

    Whether that is for an acting class, a school production, as practice alongside a monologue you are working on or with a professional engagement, this journal will be your step-by-step guide to building detailed character development.

  • Made to be long-lasting

    Journal In Character has been made to be environmentally friendly.

    It is made from FSC recycled paper.

How to use

Journal In Character

Every time you sit down to write in your Journal In Character, you are stepping into the mind of the character you are playing, and filling in the journal in the same way you would fill in a journal in real life.

You should let the voice of your character fully come through as you answer the questions in the journal and express the answers in the tone of voice your character would write in. The good, the bad and the ugly!
