  • THEY ALL SERVE THE BIGGER IDEA. The entire idea of serving the public so that they can understand the character and the whole point of the story, you serve the bigger theme that is universal. That is what made the guys i mentioned huge, NOT MONEY, NOT GLAMOR, NOT FOR FAME, but serving THE STORY.

    i love acting because of this woman.

  • WAW this women is amazing.

  • Think... we.... get.... the.... point!

  • This is good advice and all (going to the LA college soon) but I can't get over the fact that she is holding her hair the whole time. Even when yelling.

    So damn funny :)

  • @iamLydianicole...are you in any movies???

  • @greenrate Why is it intellectually superficial for starlight to say that? Don't you think what you're saying is pretentious? Yes, an actor should be disciplined, but not so technical that the art is lost and a robotic performance is given. Maybe I misunderstood what you meant.

  • @starlightmayra

    I happen to agree with you that Chekhov's is the most "creative" Method.

    But it's intellectually superficial (and uncreative, too) to generalize so loftily that "every student will find their best method and what works for them".

    That's simply and demonstrably . . . not true.

    It's the rare student that finds an acting method that works for him in other than a superficial, mechanical, and inconsistent way.

    We don't have to "fight" . . . in order to consider why.
