Introducing the Meisner ActingTechnique and Chu Acting Method

Sanford Meisner’s Meisner Acting Techniqueis an incremental progression of acting exercises; it is one of the world’s mostrenowned acting methods. Thirty-seven of Meisner’s students have either beennominated or have outright won Academy Awards*.The Technique’s application is broad, and like the Linklater Voice Method, issuitable for everyone. This Technique trains your sensitivity and powers ofobservation, thus allowing you to work off the other person and haveappropriate and heartfelt responses. It provides an actor with a solidfoundation of acting technique.

As a dual-Designated Linklater Voice andMeisner Acting Teacher (please see below Certificates) –

The above are my Designated Linklater Voice andMeisner Acting Teacher certificates.

I personally feel that a free, flexible andunfettered voice is very important, but even more important is that this voiceis able to, at every step, simply, directly and effectively be linked to anactor’s acting technique. Through continual research and adjustment, I havesuccessfully integrated these two techniques. This integrated approach is thefoundation for the Chu Acting Method. This Method simultaneously trains anactor’s acting, voice and movement technique.

I very much look forward to sharing with youmore of this exciting material. Thank you for reading. Hope to see you in theclassroom.
