“The first draft is just a skeleton-just bare bones. It's like the very first rehearsal of a play, where the director moves the actors around mechanically to get a feel of the action.” FeelsWritingFirstsPlayActionMovingActorsDirectorsBonesRehearsalSkeletons Author:Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

“If you're sounding right, you're probably walking right, and vice versa. If you get the footwork right - if you get even one line right in a rehearsal, the director will say, do you know when you said that, it was exactly the character. You were - really landed on it.” IfsKnowsSaidCharacterLinesWalkingDirectorsVicesDo You KnowRehearsalVice VersaOne LineFootwork Author:Ian Mckellen
“I generally enjoy the rehearsal process because that's where you can share your ideas, get your thoughts and feelings out and see whether or not they're going to land, whether or not people are going to agree with them, particularly the director. So you can sort out in that process any elements that need to be sorted out before you're on the set, and of course that saves time and it also makes everyone more comfortable working together.” PeopleNeedsIdeasFeelingsTogetherCoursesProcessEnjoyShareLandDirectorsElementsComfortableAgreeWorking TogetherRehearsalThoughts And Feelings Author:Nicolas Cage
“I come from the theater, so for me rehearsal is vital and a way of life. There are many film directors who don't believe in it and some actors who prefer not to rehearse.” WayBelieveFilmActorsDirectorsTheaterDon't BelieveRehearsalFilm Directors Author:Hugh Jackman
“I find it rather tedious working with some actors who have to go into a corner and bounce up and down, shake their hands and arms, saying to the director, "Just a second - I'll be ready in a few minutes, " while all the other actors are waiting around to get in. Then they say, "OK! I'm ready now." And then they come on and do it exactly the same way they've done it in rehearsal.” WayDoneHandsActorsWaitingMinutesReadyArmsDirectorsCornersShakesNow And ThenUp And DownRehearsalTediousBounceWaiting Around Author:Elizabeth Taylor
“I love rehearsals and I love creating a character, sticking with it until you have something to tell. It's always different though. Sometimes a director will tell you from day one what they want.

“The directors were often really nice and I was well behaved, so I would just sit there in rehearsal. That allowed me to see the process - not just the result, the red carpet, all of the wonderful, fun things that happen afterwards - the nuts and bolts, the nitty-gritty, "Let's try to build this character from the page," tech rehearsals.” TryingWellsCharacterHappensFunProcessResultsNiceWonderfulDirectorsPagesRedNutsCarpetRehearsalReally NiceBoltsRed CarpetFun ThingsNuts And Bolts Author:Condola Rashad

“The music director, Stephen Oremus, was telling me: "I hope you've done your work." We only have ten days rehearsal. The music is no joke. My solo singing is not that hard. But the stuff I have as part of the choir or as a "Dead Guest" in the second-half... I'm singing some really incredible chorus stuff that I haven't done in a long time. It's extremely difficult.” LongHardDoneStuffDifficultHalfHavensDirectorsTenMusic IsLong TimeSingingJokesIncrediblesGuestsSoloRehearsalChorusChoir Author:Max von Essen
