Sound:
A mime artists often uses sound effects to bring in the element of humour to liven up a situation.
The sound effects add a special touch to many comical situations such as an invisible door with a working door bell, or an invisible car with realistic horn and motor sound.


Lights:
Lights are often used in mime to create the dramatic ambience and focus on the characters enacting on the stage.


Importance of silence:
Miming is to be distinguished from silent comedy in a film or dramatic sketch, in which the artist is a seamless character. The interplay of music and silence forms an integral part of mime and often is used to elevate the dramatic effect.


Make up:
White make-up for the face heightens the dramatic impact of the movements and expressions. This make-up projects the face of Everyman during performance, which enables all members of the audience to identify with the situation.
