WHAT IS MEISNER TECHNIQUE?
Meisner Technique refers to a comprehensive actor training program developed by Sanford Meisner. Sanford Meisner is an American actor and acting teacher who trained some of Hollywood’s leading actors.
Meisner Technique has it’s roots in the acting method developed by Konstantin Stanislavki. Stanislavski created a groundbreaking system of acting techniques that was aimed at eliciting ‘real’ and powerful performances from actors on stage.
In essence, the Meisner Technique is a set of practical exercises designed to progressively take the actor out of their comfort zone. This is done so that they can easily ‘inhabit the skin’ of the character they need to portray in a play or film. Meisner acting is unique; it is powerful, thrilling and exhilarating. A Meisner Technique actor can move through characters and imaginary situations to convincingly portray characters that are very much unlike their own self.
FAMOUS MEISNER ACTORS
Here is a small list of well known and successful Meisner actors, some of which Meisner himself trained:
Sandra Bullock, David Duchovny, Tina Fey, James Franco, Michael Shannon, Michelle Pfeiffer, Naomi Watts, Tom Cruise, Jim Carey, Christoph Waltz, James Gandolfini, Jon Voight, Dylan McDermott, Steve McQueen, Gregory Peck, Eli Wallach, Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall, Lee Grant, Peter Falk, Jeff Goldblum, Grace Kelly, and Sydney Pollack.
