Two Year Acting Program- https://www.maggieflaniganstudio.com/two-year-acting-program/tayler-hamilton/ Two Year Acting Programs - Maggie Flanigan Studio - Call (917) 789-1599 The two-year acting program with the Maggie Flanigan Studio provides actors with the tools, experience, and foundation that they need to become professional actors. Tayler Hamilton talks about the decision to train professionally, why she thinks actors need to train, and her experience this year training with the studio remotely. What did you think it meant to train as an actor before you came to Maggie Flanigan Studio, and what do you think it means to qualify as an actor now? Tayler: Before I came to Maggie, I thought that acting was memorizing lines and doing your scene and just taking your cues and character and just doing it how you would do it as a person. We would call that, I guess, pedestrian behavior. I figured I didn't need to train. I had some Performing Arts experience from growing up, and I danced a lot, and I did theater when I was a kid and in high school and stuff, but I never had formal training. I was like, well, I don't think I need that, which looking back, was such a joke because it's so important to have the training and the foundations. It means to train as an actor because you have to give what Charlie and Karen and Maggie taught me was you have to give your heart and your soul and your life to put in the work to training to become an artist take a lot. It takes a lot of self-work and a lot of looking inside yourself, and I had never done that before, and that completely changed my life. It's a lot to train, but you need it as if you're trying to be like an established actor who is taken seriously, you need to have that training under your belt. Q: What resonated with you that's particular to the Meisner technique? First-year, listening. I don't think I listened to my scene partner ever before I got to Maggie. I would be thinking about what I was supposed to do, oh my god, I have to do this and next thing next. I feel like I look strange. I was concerned about what was going on with me. I didn't listen or take anything in from the other person. First-year, that was huge for me. I learned so much about taking things personally and standing up for yourself, which was another big thing from the first year is finding your perspective as a person. What do you care about? What makes you tick? What makes you happy? What makes you angry? What gets you going? What fires you up? I didn't know that before. It's essential to know as an actor because you have to relate all that to your work. Having that in the first year was life-changing. First-year was incredible for me. I grew as a human and as an actor. Second-year, oh, I learned just so much about discipline and the amount of work that goes into working on a massive part with complex depth. I have an immense new respect for the actors who do such work and are so good at it. Now I know how much work they put into it, like how detailed you have to be and how specific you have to craft them. Second-year, I learned that I couldn't just bring my point of view to everything. I can't just take on a character like Tayler. I worked on a scene the second year, Rosemary with Ginger, I played Ginger, and she's very reserved and very uptight. She's just been like coddled, I guess, her whole life and she's not outspoken at all. She doesn't stand up for herself, and that's not me at all. That wasn't me. I struggled with that because that was the first scene that I worked on second-year that was in point of being a real character. I've learned a lot just about how to set aside who you are, have those things about who you are as a person, but as an actor, you need to know how to relate to different types of characters and other kinds of people because who wants to watch you play yourself all the time? I think just learning that, and only the simplicity of the things you do makes a piece of acting so good.
