Participating in the youtube chat, Damla Sonmez said, “I don’t know when my desire to become an actor started.” Saying that he went to Müjdat Gezen Art Center while she was in elementary school, Sönmez stated that what she learned during her time there had an important place in taking the first step in acting.
Sönmez, who excitedly stated that she was in the school theater during her secondary and high school years and always loved to be on stage during the program, said that while she was studying in the school during her university years, she played both in the series and as a assistant in the theater and ended her words with the following sentences:
“In those years, I took part in both the school and the kitchen of the business. When I look back from past to present, it is good that I say I have spent that time. It was very important to discover myself in those years and these works that I undertook also gave me great experience.”
“I Love Taking Part in Jobs That Beat My Heart”
Stating that she did not plan for the future and focused more on her current life, Damla Sönmez said that acting was very special for her at all times and under all circumstances.
“What kind of features do you want a project you want to take part in?” Sönmez, who answered the question “I like to be involved in the works that make my heart beat,” underlined that she felt a great pleasure and happiness in participating in every project she was excited about.
Making various evaluations about acting and characters, Sönmez continued her words with the following sentences:
“I have a greater interest and excitement for the characters that intimidate my eyes and I think I cannot do. I was playing in every job I could try myself in college years and looking to improve myself in every respect. Playing in motion picture is the dream of every candidate who studied at the university, of course, and I looked at everything I did in those years as an opportunity to gain experience ”.
“Understanding the Director is Understanding the Role”
The program’s moderator, Bora Talat Oyacı, said, “Is the good script understandable at the first reading?” Describing the technique that she also valued and applied to her question, Damla Sönmez said that she was accepting the project blindly when the stones were in her place at the moment she was reading the script, and the characters felt like they were coming out of the paper and talking to her. Sönmez explained the other points he paid attention to in more detail as follows:
“Sitting and talking to the director who will make the movie is always among the reasons for accepting a project. The preliminary preparation process of a movie I will play is also very important for me and I always request this before I get involved in a project. In order for a player to be able to give the right to his role, he must also understand the director very well and be in line with him. If you want to reflect exactly what the director wants to see on the screen as an actor, you should listen to the director with full attention. When you meet with the director in the same context, there is a result that you both agree. Besides, in order to tell a character to the audience, it is necessary to understand that character well ”.
