What, in your opinion, are the most difficult stage roles for an actor to play?

Is there anyone else who doesn’t like Meisner classes?

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s an important class but I just don’t like how it’s been taught to me and I’ve had 3 different teachers. Not a debate, I’m just curious since everyone one of my actor friends seem to like it so much for some reason.

Going to my first “callback” ever, don’t have my resume or headshot on my person.

Submitted for a breakdown through ActorsAccess. They asked for a video audition, so I submitted that. They asked me to come in for an in-person “callback,” but I just ran out the door to get to class without printing both real quick. I’m so flustered right...
