Acting in plays and writing for Roleplays are very, very different ^w^

In role-playing you need to make sure that you use proper grammar, you have time to reply, you can write things that cannot really be done. In a play, all you need to think about is the character you are. You can't pause, wait, or let someone else do it for you. In a play you have a script. In a role-play you need to plan out your actions.


Hope this helped!

@hay7199 I think it depends on what kind of roleplay. Although I have a good idea on which one you mean.

Role-plays are written. You don't have to memorize every single line that you wrote and its not nessescary for you to say them out loud. When someone else posts, you don't need to post right away. A dictionary, or thesaurus is always there for you. In role-plays, you don't have to plan every single thing out. Everyone makes things up on the way. A roleplay can die easily. All of the characters are (usually) all the main ones in role-plays. It is based on grammar. One can write an unrealistic sentence and it could be okay.

Normal plays however, they are required real actions. You'll need to memorize every line, at least, the ones that are yours and one needs to recite it out loud. All of the casts must be there at the same time to perform the show. It can't just be like, "Hey, what are you doing?" And then, the other person is eating a bowl of noodles, too busy to reply (unless it is in the script). A show must continue; there's an audience. There's a script planned out. A play is verbal, one has to speak in order to perform.
