Physicality

Only 7% of what we communicate is from spoken words. 

That means:

93% of what we convey to the world is non-verbal cues. 

38% is tone, pauses, volume and clarity

55% is body language, movement, facial expression, etc.

Learning how a character moves.

-is your character confident? Distressed? 

How to embody pain, whether a new injury or an old one.

-making a choice that has consistency will bring out life. Examples are House, an old injury affects how he moves, how he talks, how he views the world.

Personalization and substitution.

-we all have an inner world. We have an inner monologue that will directly affect our experience. Make that experience visible to those around us.

Posture

-the way someone stands or sits can tell a story all on it’s own as to what’s happening for that character even before they speak.

Movement and voice

-using given circumstances and text analysis will offer many clues as to how your character will behave, and where their voice will radiate from.

Authenticity drives it home.
