2 Year Acting Programs https://www.maggieflaniganstudio.com/2-year-acting-programs/brenda-famurewa-interview/ Best 2 Year Acting Programs - Call Maggie Flanigan Studio 2 year acting programs at the Maggie Flanigan Studio train professional actors following the work of Sanford Meisner and the Meisner Technique. Brenda Famurewa, a current student at the studio, discusses with Katie the first year in the acting program at the studio. Q: Brenda, what did you think it meant to train as an actor before you started the 18-Month January Program at Maggie Flanigan Studio? A: What did it mean to train? Previously, I always thought that it was like getting your on-camera tips and scene study and just knowing what to do, how to say the line right before you go out to audition for it or put it in front of anybody. Q: Now that you just finished your first year and you're heading into the second year, what do you think it means to train as an actor now? A: Well, now, I think it's a lot about your work ethic, for one. I think it takes a lot more work than people give credit to it. I believe that you have to really listen and honestly respond and to do truthfully. Q: Can you tell us a little bit about your background in acting? A: Well, I've been taking acting classes for about two and a half years. I started taking classes out in Atlanta. I went to three different studios in Atlanta. Each of them was monthly, once a week classes, scene study classes, on-camera classes. They weren't as in detail or-- I don't know. They weren't exact, as Maggie Flanigan has been, at least. I was training for like two years, and nothing changed. I feel like I'm still the same. Q: Was this the first time you've studied Meisner technique? A: Yes, this is the first time I've studied Meisner. Q: How is Meisner different than what you expected? A: I'm biased, but I think Meisner is probably the best technique out there. It teaches you to-- I don't even want to say, "It teaches you." It's just like-- I don't know. It shows you how to be not even just a better actor, but a better human. It shows you how to really listen to people, really respond to people, to read behavior correctly versus most other techniques I've studied. It's just like, "This is how you read a script," or, "This is how you would break this down," which I don't think is wrong either, but I think to listen and respond, Meisner has been a staple in that for me. Q: What did you learn about yourself over this past year that was a surprise or that changed you? A: I've learned so much. I'm going to cry. [chuckles] I've learned so much. I think I've learned that I'm incredibly resilient. I didn't know before how closed off I had become to the world, or maybe it's just the way I grew up, I don't know. I think Meisner has shown me to be okay with who I am, to trust myself. It showed me that everything I feel is valid and that it's okay; it's not weak to show your vulnerability. It's such a beautiful thing. Q: How do you feel changed as an actor as well? As an actor, I feel like I've changed so much. I think before; I would-- I don't know what I was doing back, but it wasn't acting. [chuckles] I think now, I'm more determined. Like A: I said, it's not just in the technique. It's only made me a better person. I'm more determined. I'm more truthful. I come to life with-- I know my triggers. I can't even compare because I don't think I was an actor before this program. #2yearactingprograms #actingprograms #meisnertechnique 2 Year Acting Programs - Brenda Famurewa Interview - Maggie Flanigan Studio (917) 789-1599 Learn more about the 2 year acting programs for professional actors at the Maggie Flanigan Studio by visiting the acting classes and acting programs page studio website.
