Don't show your work indeed. A rant I can thoroughly agree with. Don't show your work indeed.

I tried out somethings in rehearsal and found that it did nothing. Also, trying to conjure up a memory to get me to have an emotional reaction caused me to lose focus on the scene. When I approached a situation as the character, rather than as Monica Playing This Character, I had the right emotional reaction.

That's why I'm a good actor rather than great. My training happened to compliment what I already had rather than stretch it. I have 50 years to fix it :) Absolutely re: homework.

Which is why I'm merely a good actor and not a great one. All of my training happened to compliment what I had already rather than pushing me into the other side of my brain.

But I totally agree with the "hit rehearsals hard" -- in fact, I'd go even further: hit OUTSIDE rehearsals hard, i.e., hit the homework hard. Because there is rarely enough time available in rehearsal, but there is way more time available outside of rehearsal. Preparation outside rehearsal, it seems to me, allows you to get outside your head IN rehearsal, so you can interact in-the-moment with the other actors, which allows actual acting to occur. Just a side question: isn;'t blending "Stanislavsky, Hagen and Meisner" sort of like blending different kinds of chocolate -- you might get subtle differences, but it's still chocolate?
