The difference between internal and external notions of acting lies in the approach to portraying a character. External acting focuses on physicality, gestures, and vocal techniques to convey the character, while internal acting emphasizes the actor's emotional and psychological connection to the character.
Previous theoreticians and writers have varied opinions on this matter. Stanislavski, a prominent figure in acting theory, advocated for internal acting, emphasizing the importance of emotional truth and psychological realism in portraying a character. On the other hand, Brecht, another influential figure, promoted external acting, emphasizing the use of physical and vocal techniques to distance the audience from the character and provoke critical thinking.
The debate over how much of "the character" is actually the actor versus the part as written by the playwright is ongoing. Some argue that the actor brings their own experiences and emotions to the character, shaping it in their own image. Others believe that the character is a creation of the playwright, and the actor's job is to faithfully interpret and embody the written role.
Ultimately, the portrayal of a character is a complex interplay between the actor's interpretation and the playwright's creation. Both internal and external acting techniques have their merits, and the balance between the two may vary depending on the specific demands of a role and the artistic vision of the production.
