Thranduil

To me, personally it works and ... i like it. Its the Technique i learned and its the Technique i believe in. You know, as for "being" the Role and believing you are not yourself, but the Character you play. Every time i start to build a new Role i ask myself one simple Question: What would I (the physical Thranduil) be like, if i grew up with the same people and an the same eniviroment the Character did, what would i be like if i had the same Experiences the Character had .. and so on .. one simple question, and the range of possibilities is boundless from this very first moment on - The Rest is up your Talent, your Imagination - and the Methods Technique help you to put all your Ideas into the whole Package. The Ideas, the Imagination and the Talent you have is the Material you work with and the Techniques are the Tools to convert the Material, the way you want it to be. And it works that way. But, i developed the Techniques with a Teacher - i dont think its dangerous for anyone to learn it alone (by books) but it's useless - If you wanna go into Method Acting, you need a Techer to develop properly, someone who watches and gives you the advices you need to improve.
