I got a little hot under the collar at a recent lecture. But I'm just so saddened by all the stories I hear from emotionally abused actors who have forked over huge amounts of money to mean-spirited coaches for techniques that aren't helpful or needed. These fear-based and result-oriented techniques will only "get you in your head" and ruin your love of acting. ...The thought of someone being anything but kind and nurturing to an actor baffles me.
If you can't emote, or bring it from your heart - not all the classes in the world will help. This is the only industry where actors spend more money than they make! It's a racket! Just keep working! Get out of the classroom and in front of the camera! That's the best education of all.
