Method Acting Lessons

Method acting has become synonymous with some of the greatest actors in both film and theater over the last century. Method acting techniques have grown from the system developed by Russian actor Konstantin Stanislavski, as well as famous acting coaches such as Stella Adler and Sanford Meisner.

Also known as the Method, method acting is a technique where an actor attempts to “become” the character they are playing on stage, in film, or on a TV show. Typically, the actor dives into the psyche of a character, often not breaking the role even when off-stage or out in public. This is all done in an attempt to completely inhabit the persona of the fictional or historical character they are playing.

For fledgling and experienced actors looking to incorporate the system into their own approach, it might be time to take method acting lessons. The TakeLessons platform provides the best online method acting lessons and in-person sessions that will help you learn the ins and outs of method acting. Sign up today to get started!

FAQ

How do you learn method acting?

You can learn method acting by “becoming” the character you’re playing. You find a character by practicing emotional memory to bring out emotions from your past that apply to that character. You can augment this by researching the character as much as possible, finding things you can relate to in their experience, and then embodying that in your acting. Eventually, playing the character will become so natural you won’t have to think about it. A method acting teacher can help guide you through this process and give you critical feedback on your performances.

Where can I learn method acting?

You can learn method acting in many different places. There are famous acting studios that teach the Method, such as The Actors Studio at Pace University in New York, as well as the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. There are many approaches and styles to choose from as well. Another great way is to learn online through private lessons. TakeLessons has experienced teachers who provide the best online acting lessons for your growth as an actor.
