In contemporary theatrical performance, audiences are increasingly seeking deeper emotional engagement with artistic works. The background and significance of this study center on how to create and convey authentic and profound emotional experiences in performance in order to resonate with the audience on a deeper level. Theatrical acting is not merely a display of technique; it is a process of constructing a bridge between the emotions of the actor and those of the audience. This research aims to explore and analyze how actors can achieve genuine emotional expression through self-exploration, systematic training, and refined stage techniques. By doing so, it seeks to enhance the artistic impact of dramatic works and foster a stronger sense of emotional resonance among viewers.
