Two Year Acting Program | Sam Yazbeck Interview 03 | 917-789-1599

That is why I stayed away from training in the beginning, not knowing that here at the Maggie Flanigan Studio and with the Meisner Technique, it is all about really finding out who you are. That is what you are going to be using for your art. You don’t have a guitar. You don’t have a piano. You don’t have an instrument. This is it. So I came here and I started to know what my instrument really was. By each class it was going deeper and deeper. I was forced to go deep into myself and really start to figure out who I was as a person first and then I could start applying that to my craft. That completely changed my life. The biggest thing that I learned about myself was how dishonest I was with myself. When Charlie or Maggie would ask me, “How do you feel?” and I would say something. Right away they would see right through me. They would say something like, “You are not relating to that.” “But that is how I feel.” “No, you are not relating to that.” How are these people who just met me a week ago telling me how I feel? Little did I know that it is not in my behavior. It was dishonest. I was telling them what I think I should be feeling, or what I think they should think I should be feeling at that time. Clueless about anything to so with who I really am as a person. That is was I learned, who I really am as a person, and how do I really feel, what my unique point of view is about everything. Literally, which I had very little of before I came here to Maggie Flanigan Studio.
