In this compendium episode, John and Craig look at how we can best articulate our characters\u2019 inner lives and get the audience invested in them. They discuss the intricacies of point of view, finding truthful emotional states, and why it\u2019s so important for your characters to be liars.
How do you engage an audience\u2019s empathy? What makes an audience cry? What emotional response breaks their trust? Why is point of view important, and how can it be manipulated? How can lies be used to drive a character to emotional authenticity? And what is the best way to reveal your character\u2019s secrets?
In our bonus segment for premium members, John and Craig talk single-use characters and crown the greatest day-player of all time.
