The word etude comes from the etude pencil and refers to the time when a painter is drawing the prototype of his painting with an etude pencil to paint the final design after making the initial corrections. In acting, this term has also been used to perform a play or to perform an image of the role or situation in which the character is contracted. Definitely, this performance is not without problems and it is only a preliminary plan and will be changed many times for the main performance or the day of filming. Usually, acting studies are performed without decor and without full use of stage accessories, and if it is to be filmed, it is recorded with a mobile phone or a camera other than the main camera.
Types of acting fits
There are two types of acting etudes in terms of performance:
Acting Acting for theater or Show
The style of performance in this type of acting study is like a theater and the actor tries to perform his performance by acting theatrically and using traditional expressions and movements in the theater.
Acting Acting for Cinema or in front of the camera
In this method, the actor tries to perform his acting study in a real and realistic way and avoids extra movements and exaggerated expressions.
The acting studio is divided into two categories according to the number of people present:
Single acting or monologue
In this method, a person should perform a performance piece as a single person. In this method, usually the text that is going to be performed is in the form of a monologue, which is called a monologue.
Multicolor
In this method, several people are present in the execution of the study. Of course, one person can play instead of several people and practically perform a multi-player etude by one person, which we call this style of etude, a game within a game. The text that people perform is no longer a soliloquy or monologue, and we call it a dialogue.
Etude is divided into three categories according to the situation and performance conditions:

In any case, the effort is for the students to get the necessary preparation for the audition.

These etudes are after being chosen for a theater project or a filming project, and in it, the situation that is in the mind of the director is performed by the actor, and both parties agree on the type of play, mise-en-scenes, dialogues, feelings, etc. reach the final.
