I"m doing some thinking about Method acting with a view to writing something about it. Personally I loved my experience of Method acting in London. And I know that many are wary of. it and a lot of drama schools don't go anywhere near it for fear of students getting traumatised. I can see why they might feel cautious.

Why Most Actors Fail Their First Line And How to Fix It
Hi all. After re-introducing myself this weekend I got asked by Amanda Toney Managing Director for Stage 32 if I had any tips for actors starting out. I thought I’d re-post my tips here too. I guess most of you have many years more industry experience than me but here goes.

I wanted to follow up on Tammy Hunt 's great post about not learning our lines and using that as an excuse for not giving our all in acting. In my experience, this often happens because we have a lurking belief in the background that we aren’t good enough. Rather than risk ‘failing’ by fully committing—learning our lines well and giving it everything—we hold back. If we don’t get good feedback, we can tell ourselves, *Well, I hadn’t really learned my lines anyway.*

Safe to say this is terrifying. Actors -- your biggest fear?
Sharing this in the Acting Lounge. I recently did storyboards for the film CLASSIC, written and directed by Michelle Hoffman. Here is a storyboard next to a close up shot of the actress/main character in the film. You never know how a scene is visually translated from script to storyboard to how the director and cinematographer frame/compose the shot. In the end, the actor/actress deliver the goods, serving the story by reacting/acting in the scene. Here is one example of the close shot up of the actress, acting in the scene, facial mood/expression/reaction within the framework/context of the shot. It’s as if you co-wrote a song with the screenwriter and the actress, as a singer, interprets the scene, bringing her own creative expression to the visual and the written word. Filmmaking, a collaborative process and a thank you/shout to the actors and actresses, bringing the scenes alive, from a script page and a storyboard.
