For any actors...

It always seems more fun to do it the other way around, however, this really seemed to make sense. From this site:

Every actor eventually is called upon to act drunk. Most do this by slurring their speech, stumbling around, and perhaps drooling a bit. This is what a freshman drama teacher calls “indicating.” A better way to appear drunk is to act very, very sober. Walk very carefully, and try not to let anyone see that you’re inebriated. This is much more subtle and will register on a level the audience won’t immediately recognize.

Think about it for a moment, and picture yourself drunk. Now picture yourself drunk, trying to act sober, and how much drunker you actually seem. See? Posted by Matthew at September 15, 2004 07:52 PM
