在表演过程中，演员必须通过改变他们的声音和手势特征来体现他们所描绘的角色，以符合角色的标准概念。在这个表演的实验研究中，我们让专业演员扮演一系列股票角色（例如，国王，恶霸，情人），这是根据一个预测方案的基础上，自信和合作的2个正交人格维度。我们测量了演员的声乐作品的12个韵律特征，与音高，响度，音色和持续时间/时间。结果表明，性格自信对所有12个声乐参数的影响显着，但合作的影响较弱的少数声乐参数。这些研究结果包括第一次实验分析的声音手势在演员的性格刻画，并表明，演员可靠地操纵韵律线索，以对比的方式来区分字符的基础上，他们的个性特征。
During the process of acting, actors have to embody the characters that they are portraying by changing their vocal and gestural features to match standard conceptions of the characters. In this experimental study of acting, we had professional actors portray a series of stock characters (e.g., king, bully, lover), which were organized according to a predictive scheme based on the 2 orthogonal personality dimensions of assertiveness and cooperativeness. We measured 12 prosodic features of the actors' vocal productions, as related to pitch, loudness, timbre, and duration/timing. The results showed a significant effect of character assertiveness on all 12 vocal parameters, but a weaker effect of cooperativeness on fewer vocal parameters. These findings comprise the first experimental analysis of vocal gesturing during character portrayal in actors and demonstrate that actors reliably manipulate prosodic cues in a contrastive manner to differentiate characters based on their personality traits.
