Scare acting:

Scare acting is a specialized form of performance art that focuses on eliciting fear, surprise, or shock from an audience. This practice is most commonly associated with haunted attractions, horror films, and immersive theatre experience, but it can also extend to various entertainment formats, including video games and escape rooms. Some key elements of scare acting could include character development as scare actors often embody characters that are designed to frighten. it could range from traditional horror figures such as ghosts and monsters to more nuanced characters that seep into psychological fears. A successful scare actor delves deep into their characters back story, motivations and fears, creating believable persona that can unsettle the audience. Physicality and movement is another key element of scare acting as it relies heavily on physical performance. Actors often use exaggerated movements, sudden gestures and unsettling body langu8age to provoke a reaction. This might include creeping slightly, sudden lunges, or unnatural postures all of which contribute to the fear factor. Vocal technique is another powerful tool in scare acting. Actors may employ a range of vocal techniques and talents from guttural growls to high-pitched screams, to evoke different types of fear. Manipulating tone, volume and rhythm can create an atmosphere of tension and unpredictability.
