You may need to appear to be a blind man during acting or simply appear to be blind to trick your friends. Mimicking a blind person is not so easy. It won’t be wrong to say that it’s essentially a skill. If you want to look like a blind man, then there are certain {items|things] without which this cannot be done. The first thing that you will require for this performance is a cane which resembles the telescoping handles of telescoping hand carts.
Other items to glorify your performance could be moderate-sized black sunglasses along with light grey contacts. If you ever saw a blind person, then you will be familiar that grey contacts or the ones lighter than your actual eye color will put up a great show.
The next point is a very crucial one, in which you have to practice with all these items. You can begin practicing the walk initially by using a white cane. The usual method that you have to follow is swaying the stick to and fro. You can encounter some problems in the beginning and in order to avoid them, you can practice in a space that does not have any delicate obstacles.
The eyes must be closed in a way as if you are willing to relax. Moreover, the cane has to be kept in your left hand in such a way that the other end reaches the ground. Ensure you are merely touching the ground with the cane and not forcing it to the ground.
Move the cane in a semi circle lightly just ahead of you which is the usual motion that a blind person does in order to avoid any closer obstacles that the stick hits. When your cane hits an obstacle, maintain the cane near to it and try to walk over or acoss the object. You will be able to have a complete grasp on this type of walking only after a certain amount of practice.
If you thought of bringing the actual feel of a blind person, then putting on contacts can be a nice idea. Try them on and look at yourself in the mirror. Lightly shut your eyes and look at how your eyes rotate when your eyelids are covering them. Try to follow the similar movement of your eyes after opening them, only this time it will be a quicker and a more relaxed one. For giving a more natural look, you can try sunglasses and perform the whole act by wearing them, practice turns you perfect.
For a last practice, sit in front of a table with your eyes shut and a plastic mug or object on the table. Take a deep breath and calm down for a minute and begin to touch around the table until you get that cup, however, you should make sure not to overdo or exaggerate this act. A performance that is nearer to the reality is more attractive to the audience. So do things cleverly and avoid overdoing them.
