Dear Isabelle, You asked: > Perhaps it has to do with a lack of self-consciousness? I believe you're onto something there. Essentially, I see it as a communications challenge. I have to understand the character, then I have to find a way to relate to what could possibly motivate them do do what they do, then I have to relate it in some way - no matter how remote - to what I've done in my life. Working at the craft of it is exasperating and tremendous fun at the same time.
There is a sort of self hypnosis (some call it focus) that you have to learn to "live in". That's all I can think to say, 'cause everybody has to learn how to do it for themselves. Warmest regards, Les
