Default Re: your acting style

Well, I have no knowledge of "Classical" acting, but I can help you out with Method and Stanislavski.

Stanislavski, is basically the founder of what has evolved to the commonly known Method acting. His original work, which is now translated into books, is very hard to understand in our culture. He was from the Russian theater and they did things very different, so his writing are very classical. I'll stop here, unless you have any idea what I'm talking about you most likely don't practice any direct form of Stanislavski.

Method acting, if you've never heard of sense memory, affective memory, substitution or animal excercies then you probably are not a Method actor... Method actors study very specific "procedures" and practice "excersises" on a daily basis to keep their senses and instrument fresh. This has "evolved" moderately as well, so you could be a mix of this and something else, as a lot of others teach some of the practices in "Method" acting. For what it's worth, Robert DeNiro is a "Method" actor...


By elimination or default it would seem by those three choices that "Classical" would be the best fit. But, I don't know if Classical just supposed to mean general acting or if that is a "method" of acting as well...
