Have A Successful Production By Applying Theater Makeup

By Jerry Patterson


Theatre actors should be convincing in their acting for them to get a standing ovation. The stage must also be decorated according to the place time of the play to it to be convincing, as well. However, those two are not the only factors to consider for the theatre company to get a standing ovation. Theater Makeup plays a role to in the acquisition of standing ovations. For the impact from powerful acting may not be convincing if the actor does not look the part or have the facial features of the fictional or maybe real character that the actor is portraying.

Through makeup, the transformation of an actor into a younger person or an older person is attained. Switching genders is also possible with makeup, and even looking like from a different planet. The makeup does not just convince the attendees, but also convince the actor that the actor truly is the fictional or real character one is playing.

Many are the purposes of stage makeup. Blemishes or scars are able to be covered up by it in scenes wherein the actor must look refreshed. It is also for the enhancement of dramatic impact or effect to the those who are in the stadium.

The story must also be the one that is loved by the directors. Directors and script writers are to spend most of their days in making a production a successful one. Hence, the selected story must be the one most capable of letting their creative juices endlessly flow.

The decorators must also be meticulous in the designs and must be well informed about the era where the story is set in. This includes the lights, the sounds, props and the costumes of the actors. The director must have brainstorming sessions with the decorators for the designs to convince that the attendees are witnessing happenings from the past or on the future.

A calendar of events should also be made or devised by the director. It is inevitable to have delays during the preparation which may result in having negative feedback from the public. Directors should also share the calendar of events to every person in the preparation.

The director must also stick to the schedule and must emphasize on the staff punctuality. Rehearsals should start on the scheduled time and end at the schedule time. One must make sure that every actor is focused and fully participating on the play even when they are not part of the scene.

It is also important to choose the right persons for the play. The time and effort spent on finding the right persons for the play is never a waste. However, it is not just about those who are on stage, persons behind the stage should be worthy to trust and have diligence on their tasks.

Theatre production is an art the touches the soul of the audience. The impacts of movies and television series are nothing compared to the impact given by a successful production. This magnificent art will stay relevant for many years to come.
