A degree doesnt make you a good or bad actor. From my experience and point of view asll it maters it that you undertake a jurney through acting lessons, books, and learning from all types of methos to the point tht you crate a fusion of everything that you have learned in your past. A fusion that unlocks your truth and the ability to portray a character truthfully. Hope it help, good luck!!!

Decent video - ExploreTalent is still a scam though.

One thing I will always remember

A bad actors will always try to act, a good actor will do it naturally.

@NotEntirelyMyself - Yes, it's all in HOW Sandy's work is taught! At the moment, my impression is that Sandy's work has surpassed Strasburg's Method in popularity. If so, that's because it's healthy! Fred was firmly in that tradition. Surely you realize that if anyone were teaching like Fred today they would be a credit to the acting profession! You are right to preserve Fred's legacy. It shouldn't be allowed to die with him. My only reservation was that Fred might have acknowledged Sandy.

@NotEntirelyMyself - One of the girls in my class with Fred at Carnegie Hall (she had graduated from Julliard), said to Fred that the reason that she knew he was not a charlatan was the fact that he did not advertise. We all had a good laugh at that, because it was so very true! Unfortunately, I know at least two people who teach who advertise themselves as "first generation" Meisner students, who only sutdied with Sandy for one year at The Playhouse. Now really THAT bothers me!

@NotEntirelyMyself - The lasting influence of such members of The Group Theatre as Adler, Clurman, Kazan, Lewis, Meisner, Odets, & Strasburg was a foregone conclusion while they were still alive. Sandy (never known for his modesty LOL) wishing to be remembered as an influence, was only hoping to be acknowledged for what he had already acheived. Just remember, he said, "This is something bigger than all of us." Certainly Fred knew that as well as anyone, and probably better than most.

@NotEntirelyMyself - Fred mentioned teaching with Richard Boone at The Playhouse. Boone filled in for Sandy after Sandy's first surgery for cancer. Fred's failure to mention Sandy was bound to make me wonder. It was my impression that Sandy only insisted that his assistants teach in a specific way if they were actually teaching what has come to be known as "The Meisner Technique." There is no one way to learn or to teach. You will not find be arguing with what Fred taught, or how he taught it.

[legatofancier]

@NotEntirelyMyself - Naturally, I respect your feelings, as well. Personally, I considered Fred a great teacher. To call him "excellent" was not to damn with faint praise - quite the opposite. For me, Sandy will always be "THE" teacher. Of course, I was still in my teens when I began to study with him. Not only did I graduate from the two year program at The Playhouse (where I first encountered Fred), but I continued with Sandy in is private class. That made a pwoerful impact.
