If you aren’t a method actor, what kind of actor are you? Laurence Olivier famously said to method actor Dustin Hoffmen “Why don’t you try acting?”. He is referring to what is commonly known as Classical acting. Classical acting is an umbrella term describing the philosophy of acting that integrations many techniques, including some that stem from method acting. We talk about these techniques, demonstrate some of them, and have a few laughs along the way.
No Kevins Quiz Corner this episode because for the last couple we feel we have cheated you out of what our core foundational believe is about theatre. our PROCESS. we HAD to include it this time. We've tried as best we can to demonstrate some process work using just our voices. Hey...maybe we need to start putting these on YouTube??? Any VOTES?

— ALESHA’S LUXURIOUS LIBATIONS RECIPE —
Cosmopolitan (1 serving)
Pour ingredients in to a shaker with ice. Shake well until icy cold. Pour in to a martini glass. Squeeze lime slice in to glass and twist the rind along the rim to get the oil from the fruit. Enjoy!
For a fresh new flavor, use a lemon instead of a lime. Deliciously different!
