LABORATORY

.First off, his eyes/head. He almost never makes eye contact with whoever is speaking to him unless forced to do so (via hair grabbing or chin lifting by Ramsay) His eyes and head always seem to be darting around too in mostly fear and paranoia. His eyes are almost never still for longer than a few moments. 

. The way he speaks is always in mutters or short clips (unless it’s a case in which he needs to act like Theon). He seems to not prefer long sentences and when he speaks he seems to be on the verge of breaking down into crying/yelling. When talking to Sansa he spoke vaguely and got very upset when she asked him questions he wasn’t allowed to answer. Whenever Ramsay talks to him, he always seems to avoid speaking to perhaps avoid saying things he’ll regret. And when he does talk in longer sentences, you get the crying voice I was talking about before

. the way he walks seems to be very pained mostly because of his injuries and soreness from the cross. Even when his foot was healed he seemed to shuffle with insecurity

.This one is minor but he seems to breathe in a weird “verge of crying” sort of way (sorry for my choice of words), very choked up. He also groans a lot, which is a VERY minor detail but when he’s not talking he’s always making some sort of pathetic noise.

.The last and the most sad one is the way he flinches/backs away whenever someone makes an attempt to touch him or does touch him. It really shows the effects of his abuse and how truly paranoid he is

Anyway, I’ll leave you with what the man himself said recently in a live chat earlier this year, when a fan asked Alfie about his acting choices regarding his portrayal of Reek.

How did Alfie develop the mannerisms and voice for Reek? And how did he approach post-Reek’s physicality filming season 6?
