Question 4

• For "performing feelings often comes across as insincere": When actors try to directly perform feelings, it can seem forced and insincere, so focusing on objectives (what the character wants to achieve) is better. This is a valid reason.
• For "focusing on objectives allows emotions to flow naturally": By concentrating on what the character is trying to do (objectives), the emotions related to pursuing those objectives will emerge more naturally, rather than being artificially acted. This is a valid reason.
• For "feelings should not be shown in performances": This is incorrect. Feelings/emotions are an important part of performances, but they should arise from the character's actions and objectives, not be directly performed. So this option is wrong.

• "characterization" is the term used to describe the process by which an actor uses various skills (like understanding the character's background, objectives, mannerisms, etc.) to create a character.
• "character making" is not the standard term for this process.
• "finding character" is not the precise, standard theatrical term for the actor's process of creating a character.
• "gesture" refers to physical movements or signals, not the overall process of creating a character.

Answer:

• performing feelings often comes across as insincere
• focusing on objectives allows emotions to flow naturally
