    Whether you're an actor or an expert prank-player, the skill of playing dead is a good one to have. Learning how to play dead can be useful when you're acting in movies, television, or theater, and can also come in handy when you're scheming about intense new pranks to play.

    If you are going to be playing dead in a film scene, or another scenario where you won't need to actually "die" in front of an audience, than you don't need to come up with a dying plan. However, if dying in from of the audience is necessary, you must come up with a way to die.

    Most plays or movies have this part of the story written out for you, so be sure to practice and rehearse your dying scene.

    If you're playing a prank, be sure to practice your dying scene before you do it in front of others. You'll want it to look as natural as possible. Get a friend involved to give you some feedback as you practice.

    Some ways to fake a death would be a heart attack, getting shot, or being stabbed. Some of these methods will require another actor or friend.

    It's important that you lie perfectly still for the entirety of the death scene that you are playing dead in. Even the smallest movement will show that you are actually alive, so be sure that your dying position is one that you can hold for an extended period of time.

    Make sure to position your body in a way that looks dead instead of just asleep. Some ways to do this are to position your body in an unnatural way, bend your limbs so that they look broken, or twist your torso so that it looks like your back is broken.

    Practice lying different ways to see which death positions you are most comfortable for you. It's important that you find a comfortable position, as you'll have to hold it, possible for a long time, without moving.

    Lying completely still includes your face. Don't smile, or make any other facial movements. Try to keep a blank look on your face. Leave your mouth open so that you're able to breathe without opening and closing your mouth.

    Hold your breath so that your body doesn't move.

    Mastering different breathing techniques is the most difficult part of playing dead. Typically when you breathe, your entire body moves. This, unfortunately, is a

    giveaway of a living body. Learn to hold your breath for as long as possible.

    Holding your breath is a useful technique, because you will have no body movement at all.

    Most people can learn to hold their breath for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Practicing holding your breath for as long as possible, but do not hurt yourself. If you try holding your breath for too long, you may actually pass out. If you start to feel dizzy or light headed, stop holding your breath and resume breathing.

    Some of the best exercises to practice holding your breath are swimming underwater and singing (holding out long notes).
