Abstract
As a comprehensive performing art, the core of drama lies in conveying the inner emotions of characters through the role shaping of actors. In recent years, with the continuous deepening of cross-disciplinary research in psychology, performance studies and cognitive science, how actors can touch people’s hearts and shape their characters with emotions on stage has become an important issue in performance teaching and practice. This article, through the analysis and summary of relevant literature, explores the methods of emotional expression in the shaping of drama characters, with a focus on analyzing the synergy of actors’ emotional experience, body movements and voice intonation, as well as the guiding significance of Stanislavsky’s system for emotional authenticity in modern performance. Research has found that the authenticity of emotional expression stems from the actor’s psychological immersion and situational resonance, rather than superficial imitation. Meanwhile, technological and psychological research have provided new tools and perspectives for emotional training and assessment. This article aims to provide theoretical support and practical reference for the teaching and creation of contemporary drama actors.
