I think you have a valid point... You really need to get on stage or in front of a camera with live audience/co-workers and try it out. It's two completely different worlds when you are acting in your living room as opposed to a real audience where you are definately not going to be so comfortable at first.
For newer actors, mimicing what they see on TV or trying their own approach to the text on the screen might help them in the very early stages... but revolt is in that you can't expect to learn a technique by imitation only.
