I watched the movie version of "A Christmas Carol" with Kelsey Grammar and Jennifer Love Hewitt. This version is the one closest to the musical script that we used for the fall musical. An enjoyable movie that helped me visualize the characters and understand the story in another way.

This video shows ideas that were drawn out and then brought to life for the characters in play.

Very in depth video on the process of stage makeup for the character Marley. Helps build ideas and show how makeup has progressed.

12/4/13 I found this article on how to make an actor become a three-dimensional character. The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts Dee Cannon shares the ten questions that actors need to investigate about their character to make them a fully-idealised person instead of just a character's dialogue with a visual of them. The ten questions and Cannon's advice on how to answer the questions through your character's point of view helped me to understand how professional actor's are able to become the character. A couple of the questions reminded me of what I talked about with Jen Allred about how to act my break-up scene in "A Christmas Carol" well. It also gave me other suggestions that I will use the next character I act.
