Explorative strategies are techniques that you can use to gain a deeper understanding of characters, to explore scenes and to experiment with characterisation.
Every person is a unique individual. Your role may have similarities to you but may also be vastly different. The way a person feels, thinks and the experiences they have had affect the way they move and speak.
Think about the role you are playing in detail. Consider where the person is from, what sort of accent they have and how old and how confident they are. Ask yourself how this affects their pace, weight on the ground and posture. No two characters are ever completely alike. A skilled actor is versatile and able to change vocal and physical characteristics to communicate a role effectively.
