1. Basic Stage Positions | 基本舞台方位
When you step onto a stage, you need to name the spaces correctly. Upstage is the area furthest from the audience, while downstage is the closest. Centre stage sits exactly in the middle. Stage left and stage right are always given from the actor's point of view, looking out at the audience.
踏进舞台时，你需要正确称呼各个区域。舞台后方（Upstage） 是离观众最远的区域，而舞台前方（Downstage） 离观众最近。舞台中央（Centre stage） 正好位于中间。舞台左侧（Stage left） 与舞台右侧（Stage right） 始终以演员面向观众的角度来划分。
Wings are the hidden side spaces where actors wait before entering. The apron is the part of the stage floor that extends in front of the main curtain. A proscenium arch is the frame that separates the auditorium from the stage in a traditional theatre.
侧幕（Wings） 是舞台两侧隐藏的区域，演员上场前在此等候。台唇（Apron） 是主幕前突出的一部分台面。镜框式拱门（Proscenium arch） 是传统剧场中将观众席与舞台分隔开的框架。
Not all stages sit behind an arch. A thrust stage juts out so the audience wraps around three sides. Theatre in the round has spectators on every side. A traverse stage places the audience along two long edges, with the performance between them.
并非所有舞台都藏在拱门之后。伸出式舞台（Thrust stage） 向观众席凸出，使观众三面环绕。圆形剧场（Theatre in the round） 则四面皆是观众。过道式舞台（Traverse stage） 将观众设在两个长边，表演区居于中。
2. Vocal Skills | 声音技巧
Your voice is a powerful tool. Pitch refers to how high or low you sound. Pace is the speed of your speech, and a deliberate pause can build moment. Volume controls whether you are loud or quiet, while projection means using your breath to fill the space without shouting.
你的声音是一件有力的工具。音高（Pitch） 指声音听起来的高低。语速（Pace） 是你说话的快慢，而刻意的停顿（Pause） 能营造瞬间。音量（Volume） 控制说话的大小，发声投射（Projection） 则是用气息填满空间而不必叫喊。
Tone adds emotion — a warm tone might suggest kindness, a sharp tone anger. Intonation is the musical rise and fall of your voice; monotone can sound boring. Your accent reveals where a character might come from.
语气（Tone） 增添情感——温暖的语气暗示善意，尖锐的语气表达愤怒。语调（Intonation） 是声音优美的升降变化；单一音调会显得乏味。口音（Accent） 能透露角色来自何方。
Clear speaking is called good articulation or diction. It means shaping every consonant and vowel so the audience understands each word. Practice tongue twisters to improve this skill.
清晰的说话被称为良好的吐字（Articulation）或口齿（Diction）。这意味着发出每一个辅音和元音，让观众听懂每个字。练习绕口令能提升这一技能。
3. Physical Skills | 肢体技巧
Your body communicates even before you speak. Posture is how you hold your spine and shoulders; a slumped posture can show old age or sadness. Gesture uses hands and arms to emphasise meaning, while facial expression brings the eyes, mouth and forehead alive.
你的身体在开口前就已开始交流。体态（Posture） 是你脊柱和肩膀的姿势；耷拉的体态能表现年迈或悲伤。手势（Gesture） 用手臂动作强调意义，面部表情（Facial expression） 则让眼睛、嘴巴和额头都活跃起来。
Eye contact creates connection or shows authority. Body language is the unspoken signal you send through position and movement. A character's walk is called their gait, and even a subtle change of speed tells a story.
眼神交流（Eye contact） 建立联系或显示权威。肢体语言（Body language） 是你通过姿态和动作发出的无声信号。一个角色的走路方式称为步态（Gait），甚至微小的速度变化也能传达故事。
Levels describe being high (standing on a box), medium or low (crouching). Proxemics is the distance between performers; standing close suggests intimacy, while distance can show coldness. Stillness is a deliberate pause in movement and can be extremely powerful.
层面（Levels） 指高（如站在箱子上）、中或低（如蹲伏）。空间关系（Proxemics） 是演员之间的距离；站得近暗示亲密，间距大则显冷淡。静止（Stillness） 是有意停止动作，效果常常极强。
4. Character and Role | 角色与扮演
A role is the part you are cast in. Your character
