Here are some ways that you can get into a difficult character:
- Perform a lot of research on them and their environment
- Practice in real life. Try spending a whole day in that character
- Find a real life source to mimic
- Make a true connection with the character in any way...big or small

"I played a character very different from my true self, in a play, last year. I got into character by doing an immense amount of research on the characters' background. I literally put myself in her shoes by practicing the accent at every opportunity. I also found a motivation source. A real life character that I could emulate."

Transforming into a new character can be tough! Physical transformation is one thing, but there are some characters you will play that require skill and technique in order for you to embody them in a convincing way.
Talk to the interviewer about how you over come the challenge of embodying a very detailed character. Talk about your techniques, talents, and strategies that helped you to get into character.

"So far, the most challenging character I have had to change into was a character much older than myself. I echoed his personality by tapping into some of the mannerisms that I saw in my own grandfather. That technique was very helpful for me."
