How Should an Actor Prepare?

Many actors grapple with the weight of a heavy preparation. At The Meisner Technique Studio, we encourage actors to make emotionally healthy choices. We firmly believe you do not need to dredge up your past traumas in order to be a good actor.
The Meisner Technique Studio offers acting classes in San Francisco, California. Jim Jarrett, Sanford Meisner's last teaching protege, founded the Meisner Technique Studio on the same principles, standards and respect for the craft of acting that Sanford Meisner dedicated his life to.

I struggle the most with preparing the emotion of fear, real fear in horror settings. Most emotions come through just vivid imagination but fear is just one I can’t get momentum

Yeah I always wondered, when reading Irenaeus account, why people read a meaning into what he is actually saying. When he claims he saw a copy of revelation later it doesn’t mean it was released then. It’s only when he saw it. In fact, it takes a long time to copy and distribute writings of that time so it doesn’t make sense if Irenaeus is claiming John wrote it after AD70 as many evangelicals wrongly assume.

"It's a play... PLAY!" Love this! Question: which of these schools do you personally believe has the stronger program? Vagabond and Blackbox in Chicago, or Neighborhood Playhouse in New York? Open to recommendations

Thank you for watching! Since we don't have first-hand experience with the Chicago studios, we aren't able to offer an accurate comparison. Sorry about that!

To clarify, is this preparation that you only do right before the performance, or are you using this the whole way through the preparation process from the start?

[@TheMeisnerTechniqueStudio]

Thanks for your question! This is how we approach preparation in all circumstances
