Body and Mind

An actor's tools are unusual among artists.  Whereas a painter's tools are his  watercolors, brushes, and paper, and a guitarist's tool is her instrument, an actor has no tools but him or herself.  An actor uses voice, body, and mind/spirit to create a character.  Like the pianist or other performing artists, the actor is usually an interpretive artist, meaning that the actor is part of an interpretation of a primary artist's work -- in this case, the primary artist is the story writer and screenplay writer of the film.  Because an actor is usually interpreting a role written by someone else, the play text is also a tool for character creation.

Analysis of the Script and the Character

The actor usually begins with an analysis of the script:  he searches for all clues about the character's past life, present actions, relationships with other characters, and function within the plot.  From there he can begin to create the character.  Anything not supplied by the screenwriter directly is up to the actor's imagination.

Body

The actor then uses her own body, voice, and mind, adapting aspects of herself to become the character.  The actor may alter her voice by varying her pitch range, dynamic range, timbre, and tempo or by speaking with a dialect.
The actor will also use his body in ways specifically chosen to express his character.  He will select gestures, postures, and movement patterns that may be different from his own.  Some of these physical aspects, Hindi, and gestures of the character may be determined by the customs of another historical time;  for example during  Ashoka's, Mughal dynasty or during Mahabharat period

Mind

The character's mental processes are also important;  these include thoughts, emotions, and psychological traits.  Analysis of what a character says and does in the script of the play will be an important beginning for an actor in finding her character's "inner life".

Therefore, it's absolutely essential to develop body and mind to portray a character convincingly. And it's here that a training is required. In the case of a beginner, preferably by a sensitive and highly skilled acting coach
