Q: Before you came into Maggie Flanigan Studio, did you study anywhere else? Did you study the Meisner technique? What was that like for you? A: Actually, I looked at several places before coming here. I spent a year and a half trying everything out. The first place I went to was a Meisner technique acting program. Some of the issues I found with that is that because I was a green actor, as they like to call me specifically, I was treated differently than most of the other students. It's somewhat like a factory, really. I was just a number. I was like a paycheck for them. I didn't really feel welcomed. Especially, with some of the other students, it felt very competitive when that's not what I really wanted in a program. I wanted a home and a family and people to grow with. The second place I study wasn't a Meisner-based program at all but I found that the students were lacking -- what's the right word for it? Motivation and wanting to actually put in the work and effort and everything in it, like they were just here to show up and here to play, it was like a hobby. I wanted somewhere that -- one that felt like a family and everyone wanted to push each other and work together and grow.
