"Acted drama requires surrender of one's self, sympathetic absorption in the play as it develops"

- George P. Baker

About this Quote

This quote by George P. Baker speaks with the importance of being totally immersed in the world of a play when carrying out. Acting in a drama requires an actor to give up their own identity and become the character they are portraying. This implies that the actor must be able to have compassion with the character and the story they are telling. They should be able to comprehend the emotions and motivations of the character and be able to depict them in a credible method. This needs a deep understanding of the play and the character, and an ability to get in touch with the audience. By surrendering themselves to the play, actors can create a powerful and meaningful performance that will leave a long lasting impression on the audience.
