How funny are voice mail greetings and or messages? Particularly evident when it is someone you know well..."Hi this is so and so...", they/we either go out of the way to be super natural, maybe funny, or present a voice which represents this message persona, but is it you, or them? Of course it is you. Why do we do that?
How about your behavior within your profession? Step back and listen to yourself dealing with people in your daily bread gig; what character are you creating for that specific interaction? Think about that. Here's a secret, one that will unlock the essence/objective of a scene or your relationship to the other characters in it... "that character" you create and are constantly creating will ALWAYS be based on what you want. Let me make a clear example. If you make a living at sales (we are all salespeople, by the way, children being the best), internally go through your pitch. How is it different from client to client, to feedback, to obstacles, and yet, it is a life and death (drama of course) situation, because if you don't sell, you don't eat. Your actions (offer coffee, sit down be comfortable), tone, words, EVERYTHING surrounds that end, buy the car, the perfume, the house, etc. Within the range of life filters you possess, your personality will adjust to the assumptions you have made in any given situation.
