Alba Emoting is a safe, effective, and versatile technique of generating emotions now used in acting performances. Alba Emoting is safe because it resolves four major problems some actors encounter while generating emotions for acting performance. These problems include, “emotional hijacking,” “emotional hangover,” “emotional blockage,” and using emotional memories which are faded, incomplete, inconsistent, or full of mixed emotions. Alba Emoting is effective because it allows an individual to control emotional inspiration through technique to create emotions that are felt by the individual and those witnessing the generated emotion.

Each emotion has its own unique physical and subjective features which make it different from other emotions. Human bodies react differently when sad versus when angry. Essentially, each emotion is unique from but also similar to other emotions. In summary, emotions are composed of multiple physical, psychological, and subjective responses in the mind and body. The definition of emotion I will use in this thesis is an emotion is a physical and psychological state of the body and brain expressed in facial expressions, postures, gestures, and respiration.
