The magic "if" wasn't about what you would feel. It was about what you would DO. Stanislavsky was about action; doing. Engaging in a series of truthful, logical, sequential actions. That is what creates emotion.

[PhillyGirl1]

sometimes emotion recall doesn't work, because what ever event you remember going through, you might be over it, emotionally.

THANASLOVSKI????? Are you f-ing kidding me?!

[SkylarPro]

@jlw1965 yeah at first i was like WTF because i thought he actually said thanaslovski. i guess my mind tricked me like that because of that damn subtitles that i can't help reading. but then i watched again and thank god what he said was Stanislavski.

[charlescjsoccer]

excuse me sir, are you a actor becuase i dont know somethings you saying are wrong dont confuse sense memory with emotional recall those are totally different things!!!!!!!!! but also you guys also know i am a actor so , dont forget that sense memory do help trigger the emotions, but is not all about emotions its about living on stage moment to moment each moment is new to you and you learning new things in the moments even though you`ve pratice it for hours and hours

[isralite98]

@charlescjsoccer thank you for this...it helps.

[TzimasJ]

bring out past emotions to..... wait a minute... JUST ACT!!!!!!!! only thing to know for a great performance is to forget about your life and be in the life of the character and thats it... GOD

[Lemoncode]

Take from my own life?

Kay, I'll try that.

...

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Oshi- worked.

[pLAVooo]

... taking something from your private life...

THAT'S TOO LOGICAL, thank God! =S

[jessihersheybar]

can you speak with a little more emotion when you speak plz......other than that good job

[horsechick1309]

you are probably a great actor but i find it hard to listen to you because you talk sooo boring.but other than that, good job on the video

[PontusOlgrim]

The problem with sense- and emotion memory is that it takes you right out of the text. Sense- and emotion memory is only a way of escaping what you really feel, because you will feel! And the good news is, the feelings that will arise by them selves, are organic to the part/situation. That is why you should throw sense-and emotion memory out (in my opinion, with respect to those who think differently!)

P

[aussiejohnr]

he's confusing sense memory with emotional memory. sense memory is using the 5 senses to recreaet in the actors mind how situations wouold feel to touch to hear taste and smell. emotional memory is only effective if you have time to make it work it up -say in a film studio

[sa17ma18ra]

is it just me or does this guy sound like he's chokin up?

[thegood1sweretaken]

If he knows so much about acting, why doesn't he pretend to be someone more interesting to listen to?

[SenoritaNutella]

It would help if we were being told these tips by someone who perhaps was slightly more ENTHUSIASTIC!

Good tips though.

And this difference in interpretation of Stanislavsky's System is a major factor in Lee Strassberg's resignation from The Group Theatre in NYC.

[JOMO59]

Stanislavsky said that actual experiences from one's own life is not necessarily what he meant but, rather, to use one's imagination to create imaginary (not necessarily actual) circumstances to induce the emotional feeling. This was a liberating clarification since it did not require that actors have actual experience with all obligations of a script.

[JOMO59]

It seems like this describes more the Lee Strassberg interpretation of Stanislavsky's "System" (i.e., method). Strassberg's method emphasized "affective memory" i.e., using emotions from actual experiences in your own life. Stanislavsky clarified his position on this via discussions with Stella Adler.

[Snake204420]

You know, emotional memory made some people crazy. Method is terrible way to act!

[MemoirsofJ]

the "method" ALL wrong

[DarkGoeie]

Okay - that was useless. To save everybody 3 minutes of their life, the tip given is :

"Bring out past emotions to respond to the scene."

[RecycledStamp]

Thank you very much (YY)!

[stuarthmclean]

ok im an actor and Iv got some problems with this, yes good information but terrible delivery, firstly an actor must be aware and be able to control their bodies, neither of these two did that at all and to hank projection is key, if your audience has to try to hear you then they wiil simply stop listening. and why does the DR need a mike the camera is five feet away. both of them need more traing or just stick to stage, well thats if people can hear them

[jonathan12376]

lol his head wobbles.

[Nikolai1584]

I'm actually studying up for a drama final. Good tips.
