Everything that has happened to you in your life has made you the person you are today. This also applies to your character. There are many factors that you have to think about when your creating your character.
Stanislavski believed that to play a character naturally you had to become that character. You had to think about all the different factors that will effect your character's personality.
If your given a script, pay close attention to the stage directions. By reading between the lines you will get an idea about how your character acts and moves.
When thinking of your character consider:
1. Age
2. Family Backgrounds
3. Where they grew up
4. Where they currently living
5. How many friends they have
6. If they are single or in a relationship
Stanislavski also believed that an actor should not just play a character, but feel what the character would feel by using there own experience's or stepping into their shoes. This makes the emotions seem more realistic and natural.
