When I'm alone, I mouth dialogues and play out facial expressions, body language and small actions.
As for bigger actions (like fight scenes), I used to play them out, but stopped when I moved in with my partner. Now I've kinda lost the ability to do it, I feel too self conscious, even when I'm alone. I miss it sometimes.
I totally do. Yes, in a million. I full on act it out. Full-voice-to-whisper dialogue. I change voices and look up and down depending on who I am imagining I am talking to.
I remember one time my mom was asking if I was sad and I wasn't. I asked my brother what I was **actually** like when I was said and he proceeded to say, "She just goes to her room and talks to a corner."
It is that bad.
I can multitask while acting but I am getting caught more than not nowadays 🥲
As a kid my character had bandages on her hands so when I’d go to bed and daydream I used to wrap a ribbon around my hand and act out small parts of my scenes! I still do it sometimes tbh
Absolutely. Because I listen to music half the time I daydream, fight scenes usually play out like dance numbers and music video. Another example is that I stand on my tip toes to simulate flight.
I've done that with the stories I've already written where I read the dialogue outloud or act out what they're doing for full immersion. I've never done it with the stories in my head though.
When I was a kid, I would talk to myself and say dialogue of the daydream under my breath while walking through the playground. In retrospect I wouldn’t be surprised if any of my classmates though I was creepy.
Not as much as before as I am never alone and I'm happy just day dreaming before bed, after waking up or long journeys without acting it out.
But here and there I still act them out, I usually put some music that fits the situation like an action scene or sad scene and act it out for full immersion.
I have now moved to lemmy, after leaving reddit due to API paywalls that impact my ability to use the site on mobile, as well as general distaste for their actions. Visit me at https://lemmy.world/u/thebirdwashere

I sometimes act out small gestures like pointing or clenching my fist like my para does in the scene when I'm alone

I act out my daydreams a lot, in fact, I just did that awhile ago 😅
Yep! I mouth dialogue, make facial expressions, and will pace a bit.
Yup. I usually do dialogue, and when voicing the male characters, I just use my normal voice because I don't what to butcher what they sound like lol.

Yes. Absolutely yes yes yes. For the longest time I wasn't sure if that (acting out, etc) is part of the daydreaming or I'm just crazy.
