New York Acting Programs - http://www.maggieflaniganstudio.com/actingprograms/ Best New York Acting Programs - Maggie Flanigan Studio Call (917) 789-1599 The Maggie Flanigan Studio New York acting programs train actors based on the Meisner Technique, created by Sanford Meisner. Devin Fuller, a first year student in the acting program, talks about what he thought actor training was when he first started studying at the studio. Q: Devin, what did you think about to train as an actor before you started the two-year program at Maggie Flanigan Studio? A: I think when I was starting out I thought that actor training was something that you could do and was probably helpful, but I thought, “Not everyone necessarily needs to train because I've heard stories about people who become successful without going to training programs.” I thought for me, I could show up and learn on set, and I could learn from experience, but I think ultimately what I've learned is that there’s this level of technique that you don't necessarily get just from experience. It does help for someone to train you and to learn from somebody because you can only get so far, I think, on your own. It helps to have a teacher. Q: What did you think or what did you know about the Meisner Technique before you started your first year here? A: I had taken a couple of classes before that dabbled in Meisner, nothing super advanced though. All I knew about it was repetition involved. I didn't see the process too much beyond some fundamental things about it. All I knew was that I knew some people who had trained in the Meisner Technique and they were outstanding. I was like, “I want to learn what this is about,” so here I am. [laughs] Q: Now that you've finished the full first year of the two-year program, how has your understanding of the Meisner Technique changed? A: I've learned it’s very-- It lets you get into a part of yourself that you might not know you have. I feel like before when I didn't have as much of an understanding of technique; I would show up then think, "Okay, how would this character feel?" I didn't really-- It was not in a particular way. I just felt along and tried to see what works. A lot of times, maybe it did work, other times it didn't, I got feedback. Now that I've trained a little bit, I've learned that having some structure to how you're approaching acting is very helpful. This technique is good at getting you out of your head and focusing on what the other person is doing. It's less about yourself. I've learned so much about reacting to people and understanding and also letting my true emotional response come out. There is a difference between being acting angry and being angry, acting sad and feeling sad. It's like night and day once you realize that. It's been a great experience, and I've learned a lot.
