When spects begin to play, they need you to appear confident so they can become confident themselves. A major factor is the way you speak. Even if you’re playing low physical status, while spects are building their confidence, speak with assurance. Confident speech is also important when playing experts.

An expert is anyone who has specialized knowledge. As an inter-actor, you play people from many professions and walks of life. It might be a senator, a scientist, or a psychic. The more you know, the more you have to play with, but you can’t know it all. Here are some ways to play experts with limited knowledge.

playing with full emotional commitment to a character’s perspective
When spects begin to play, they’re often nervous. They settle down when inter-actors look like they know what they’re doing. That’s why it’s best to start off playing strong. Play with full commitment to whatever you’re doing. Playing “gently” can read as uncertainty. In spects’ eyes, uncertain characters seem like uncertain inter-actors, which makes spects even more nervous. Play strong to give spects something solid to work with. It assures them that you know what you’re doing, and they’ll play better as a result.
