 Hi, my friends call me Lyme and I want to help you perform even better in your videos and last episode we talked about over and underacting and we concluded that the same performance could be viewed as either overacting or underacting depending on the context and in this episode I want to discuss why. Now I don't have a definitive answer, I'm honestly just been thinking about it and I believe that it's about two things. Clouding of information and relativity. In the last episode we talked about the need to act differently on stage compared to close in front of the camera and the reason is simple. When I'm this far away you can't hear my voice as clearly as you would up close and you can't see my facial expressions as well or read my body language as clearly because distance clouds information and so I need to enhance it all for my message to actually reach you as well as it otherwise would if I have to show that my chest hurts that I can't only do this I need to do this but when I'm this close you can see all of the tiny changes so I don't really need to do that. Now loud noises also clouds information because this noise causes me to have to raise my voice and articulate a lot more for you to hear me but not only that I need to express my emotions more clearly so that it reaches you. Now I don't have to articulate my body language as much and I could continue this bitch if you would shut up. Now if you don't mean you have to so if I want you to shut up like this. A lot of people don't think about this but talking to someone on camera clouds more information than talking to someone away from keyboard even if the distance is kind of the same and that is because different media clouds different amount of information and so when you want to convey a message then you need to think about what information does the media that I'm using cloud and then adapt to that. Now my other conclusion is relativity because it's not always about the clouding of information sometimes it's just about what we're used to what we're comparing it to imagine someone saying I love you so very much you you are my world then we will see that as underacting because we're used to a certain level of energy in certain situation and someone who doesn't match that level seems to lack energy by comparison in soap operas they were used to a certain level of drama but if vloggers would talk like this then it would seem tacky and it's the same with different genres what we might see as overacting in a reality show we might see as underacting in a talent show so we're always comparing and depending on what we're comparing it to and what we expect from a certain genre then that affects how we view the performance whether we think it's overacting or underacting so those are my conclusions about how the context can affect the quality of your performance do you agree with these conclusions do you maybe have other explanations if so tell me that in the comments below thank you for watching bye
