Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of acting 🎭. I learned so much during my time there and it was an honor to have had the experience. Truly amazing. I definitely recommend this school to anyone from experienced to inexperienced actors looking to start. This will definitely be a step up for all.
You are very welcome! And I'm very happy to hear you had a good experience :-) Much love!
So concise. Great breakdown. 👍
Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed it.
I am an actor from Kolkata, A city in West Bengal,INDIA. I love the way you teach and explain everything related to acting. I wish I was there personally to learn under you anew. Keep coming up with such lovely knowledgeable videos. Thank you so much ❤
It's a valued class 👍🏾
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Can you please send me the text what you said in this video?? I am from india, A veteran actor, and have read or heard lot about Sanford Meisner technique. But the way you explained, I am really impressed and will follow all your videos. Thank you so much for uploading such a wonderful lecture.
He's teaching very nicely, I'm wondering if he ever was part of a known movie
When Marco performs, it's mostly on stage (in theatre).
❤
Thanks so much!
Wonderful ❤
Thank you - I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Really great advice! Appreciate it

The book he recommended; 1. The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron 2. Audition by Michael Shurtleff 18:27
Will you be offering Meisner classes online? Currently I only see foundations of acting class.
Yes, our intention is to offer a variety of classes - we will add more in the coming year. Thank you for your interest. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank You For Heart Soul touching Video❤️🙏.
You are very welcome - I'm happy you enjoyed it!
This helped me so much, thank you
You are very welcome - I'm so happy it helped you!
Yes we ARE faking it and yes it IS a parlour trick. Stop talking 💩
Thanks for your input. While there are some actors at certain levels that do fake emotion, the deeper-level actors do not. The truth and authenticity comes from channeling actual emotion in the moment. In addition, we learn to work safely so we can keep our mental and emotional health in tact.
Best talk about acting I've ever heard.
Thanks so much - I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for everything. So many things that you said in this class really resonated with me and reflect the very state I am in right now, while having already done some realizations by myself. This was an absolute top class of all the classes I have been following. Sorry I wasn't able to be present live this time as I have some health issues at the moment. I am looking very forward, always, to your next classes! Tonio
I'm really happy you resonated with the class. I hope you health issues can be resolved, and I look forward to seeing you in a future class. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any questions :-) All my best!

Do you think that acting can distruct the existing persona of a person while acting
Thank you for your question. If done safely (meaning with a learned, safe process), then the actor is able to maintain a separation between the character and themself. In this way, the actor can fully dive into any moment, scene, or performance without having it effect their own life or persona. When an actor uses an unsafe process (such as working from actual traumatic events from their own life), this can create anxiety and stress in the actor outside of the role and can have serious mental and emotional effects that can be debilitating and long-term. This is why it's important for an actor to train in an organic process that allows the use of imagination to fuel the work. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Fantastic information especially for someone who is uust starting out... Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful :-) I hope you have an amazing artistic journey!
This is soo good I got to get back to reading out loud until I get back to TA again. I was wondering what can I do I’m the mean time and I totally forgot about reading my plays and reading out loud ☺️
We can’t sacrifice our dreams for other people
This is powerful ✊🏾✊🏾🔥🔥
Training is the number 1 important thing on a resume 🤔 then theatre credits .
So much good information I love watching these videos. It keeps me motivated ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I’m still taking Notes , watching these videos daily
I’m looking at outstanding Actors ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Thanks so much! It is a pleasure to be a part of your creative journey :-)
That’s really deep. I like it

Hi George. I
Hello! Thanks for watching our sessions :-) If you have any questions, let us know!
im 13 years old and i rly wanna be a actor mostly for the friends u make along the way but i also rly love acting but i got stage fright and i feel like im not good enough and maybe to fat and to ugly:( and even if i did want to be a actor i cant find any acting audtions sites what do i do:(
Hello! And thank you for your comment. I understand how difficult it can be to navigate the acting world at a younger age. The thing to know is that YOU ARE ENOUGH! And there is not a specific way you need to look like to do this. The acting world needs all ages, all sizes, all types - so you are enough just as you are! I promise :-) It's important to learn to love yourself for who you are, because WHO YOU ARE IS MAGNIFICENT AND TOTALLY UNIQUE! If you can learn to love yourself, people around you will love you too :-) To start acting, look for schools and community theaters in your area. Schools will do stage productions, and many high schools and colleges will have a film program which will need actors for. That's a good place to start! Also, please keep attending our free sessions and you can learn that way. We also have learn-at-your-own-pace online courses too - just check out our website at truthfulacting.com. Stay strong - you are already an artist :-)

Hi Marco. I'm Silvia G. I love ❤️ your style of teaching. I wish I could take classes with you in Orlando Florida, but I leave in NY.
Hi Sylvia, Thank you so much for your comment - that means a lot to me. I absolutely love teaching, and I'm happy you were able to get something from this session. Since you live in NY, we also are starting our digital course content on our website. There is a free intro one there you can take to see what they are like, but they all have the similar feel to how I teach :-) Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to seeing you again in the future!
