18 Month Acting Program - https://www.maggieflaniganstudio.com/18-month-acting-program/hailey-vest/ New York Acting Program - Call (917) 789-1599 The New York acting program at the Maggie Flanigan studio that starts in January offers students a shorter alternative to the two year acting program. In this interview with Katie, Hailey Vest discusses Meisner training with Karen Chamberlain, why all actors need training, and why she chose the Maggie Flanigan Studio. The acting programs at the Maggie Flanigan Studio equip actors with the skills and the tools that they need for long acting careers. The acting program that begins in January is an 18 month long program created for dedicated actors who are committed to establishing the work ethic required of professional actors. Q: Hailey, how have your relationships changed since going through this first year of the Meisner training? A: Oh, man. January students, like the first year or so, it's all about breaking down your walls, and being able to find your emotions and use them and be able to claim them. Before the first year, I've always been the person who was like always happy and bubbly all the time and super helpful, and I didn't think I had a right to being angry or sad. I just had to be happy for everybody all the time. Coming into the first year, it blew that away. All of my relationships, even the people I work with, and when I talk to my parents is like you're more assertive, you stand up for what you feel, which is new for me. I don't let people walk all over me as much as I used to. I mean, I'm still working on it. My first instinct is always like to help someone even if they're yelling at me, but I know I need to get rid of that. Emotionally, I have completely changed. I looked back at Hailey eight months ago, and she was like a scared shell of a person. I know that I'm still working on it, but, oh, I don't want to go back there. This work brings out the best in you. It brings out the worst in you. So you can greet it head-on and not wonder why this bothers you. The first year was a lot of like I'd see birds, and I'd burst into tears. It was just like this bizarre reaction from then being like, "Oh, I miss home right now. This is a response to that. I'm going to call my mom." I understand now. I know my emotional responses, my body. I have a better understanding of myself. I did not expect that from this work. Q: How have those changes in your personal life and your relationships helped you take one step towards being the actor you want to be? A: I think it's made me understand that before the Meisner work, that all of my characters, everything that I did was very two dimensional. It was a little bit fake. There was an aspect that wasn't necessarily truthful or 100% truthful, and I was not aware of it. With this work, moving forward into the actor that I want to be, it's all about the truth. That is the only thing that matters. Everybody grows up, "I want to be an astronaut." "I want to be a ballerina." I wanted to be an actor so I could be all of those things. I would love to be a surgeon, but no one's going to hand me a scalpel and be like, "Great. Cut me open." That is just a bad idea. With this work, I feel that I can bring human emotions and human connections to a character that makes it truthful, that makes it real. That makes people in the audience go, "Oh, I understand this. I can relate to this, and this helps me in my life." With this work it's more, I'm slowly taking the steps towards being able to do that and being able to have control over it rather than hoping that it's there, and sometimes hitting and getting a home run and striking out. I'm not afraid of striking out anymore, because I know that the work is beneath me, you just got to keep going. The first thing anybody says because you're auditioning-- Agents, managers, the first thing that they tell you is, "Okay, cool. You're great; we're so happy to represent you. What classes are you taking? Are you actively taking steps to get better?" 18 Month Acting Program - New York Acting Program - Call (917) 789-1599 Acceptance into the New York acting programs at Maggie Flanigan Studio is based on a personal interview with Charlie Sandlan, the Head of Acting.
