I can't even explain how great this made me feel. I suddenly felt like I could actually achieve this bucket list dream of mine.
I love teaching because I love passing on my knowledge to others who want to learn.
An hour lesson just flies by and 've learned so much... I'm so excited to return to France and to use all that I've learned!

FAQ
What is the Meisner Technique?
The Meisner Technique, named after Sanford Meisner, is an acting technique that relies heavily on being responsive, with elements of improvisation at its roots. Rather than focusing inwardly, an actor responds to external stimuli, as illustrated with the “pinch—ouch” example, which claims that when a person is pinched, they would respond with “ouch” as a reaction to the external stimulus.
Is the Meisner Technique hard to learn?
Not really, but it depends. Method actors trained in immersing themselves in character find switching to an outward-oriented acting style like the Meisner Technique intricate. Still, in general, once an actor learns the basics of Meisner, it is a more accessible form to learn.
That said, as the Meisner Technique relies on being responsive to outward stimuli, learning the technique on one's own can be challenging. It requires interaction with people to help guide you through the method, so it is recommended to find a Meisner Technique teacher to assist you as a student.
