Emotions is a super fun week, this is another option through which your character sees the world. Here are my thoughts on how to use emotions:

• Emotion as a Lens: Think of emotion as a Point of View tool you choose at the start of a scene to color how you see the world, rather than just a feeling you have.

• Show, Don't Tell: Aim to telegraph your internal state through your physicality and tone of voice rather than simply announcing to the audience how you feel.

• Feelings Over States: Focus on choosing active, nuanced emotions from the Emotional Wheel instead of physical states like being tired or "funny" behaviors like being drunk.

• Reaction and Heightening: Once you or your partner establishes an emotional response to a base reality, your job is to observe that choice and heighten the intensity as the scene progresses.

• The Sound of Emotion: Use exercises like gibberish to practice conveying deep emotional meaning through sounds and gestures alone, proving that the "vibe" of a scene often matters more than the specific words spoken.
