03Interp Fundamentals

Cutting your piece, blocking, character differentiation, and transitions.

Bring the story to life

Mark beats, vary voice and body posture, and practice transitions to keep the story vivid. Use a triangle for character placement and keep eye focus consistent for each persona.

Blocking checklist

  • Three fixed points for three main characters; turn your torso to switch.
  • Gesture vocabulary: assign 1–2 signature gestures per character.
  • Transition cues: one breath + one step to signal perspective change.
