this is one of my favourite kubichek! songs its called method acting live from king tuts on their novemeber OUTWARDS tour
Speaker’s who like Marlon Brando, go into character to deceive their flock, that they are anointed. Really they’re mimicking magicians putting on step by step show. The emotions they display is all part in the rehearsed play the devil puts on take you away from the truth.

As a serious Method Acting Coach, you may be surprised to know that I went to see the new film by Sacha Baron Cohen, ‘Bruno’.
Myself and my wife Natalie went along for a good laugh, and we weren’t disappointed. But let me warn you, if you’re easily offended or of a delicate disposition, then it may not be for you!
I have always been intrigued by Mr Cohen’s work because there is something very Method about it.
Yes, it’s high comedy, but the Method is used by many a great comedy actor, including Gene Wilder.
Now I know that Mr. Cohen did not say he probably is a method actor, and he probably is not a method of quality training, but let me explain where the similarities.
He creates characters that absolutely credible. You may be extreme, but all can be fooled around him. People who are in contact with him, we do not know that worked perfectly convinced to come. To the point where it can create bizarre moments in comics, because the people involved is really to believe him. Sure, he finally pushed too far and go.
But the creation of such convincing characters is the forte of the Method Actor. They also tend to test these characters out on the public. Robert De Niro, when he created the character of Travis Bickle on Taxi Driver, spent a month driving a New York cab to understand the world of his character. Daniel Day-Lewis goes out in public and tests his characters out with those around him.
This is a great test. If people are in real life convinced you, then you’re on track. With my students, as part of my acting lessons, sometimes I’ll ask them and a scene in a real restaurant, an art gallery or public place and see how people react around you. Are you convinced?
Also, there is something else about Mr Cohen’s work. I believe there is a very talented serious actor in there too. There are a few fleeting moments in the film which are touching. But it was enough for me to see that he has the ability and potential.
The big message from all this is that being believable doesn’t always mean being subtle. It means being believable. It’s a fine line, but the boundaries must be tested.
During your own acting classes, test your believability. Ask your peers if they truly believed what they saw. . . if they say yes you’re on the right track.

The process of working on characters – believable, flesh-and-blood characters – comes early, way before you step into a role. You, the actor, will prove crucial in rounding out the screenwriter’s and director’s vision. Great actors bring themselves and an emotional understanding of the role that either makes or breaks a part.
Few actors in film have been as successful as those trained in The Method. Why? Because from the point of view of directors, screenwriters, and the audience, method acting works because it delivers the characteristics promised by a character.
One of the screenwriter’s first steps is to write a character biography. This comes after the initial inspiration taken from the real cast of characters in the writer’s lives. By taking one trait from one person and another from someone else, a real person takes shape in their mind.
For example, they will have to Aunt Martha jealous of younger beauties, and combine it with clean surfaces have mom all day, even if not a sign of any dirt. This is for the writer, someone who is insecure, aging to try to maintain a sense of control. In memory of Aunt Martha, the smells, the writer of her perfume sweet cheese and make-up brand look crisp on napkins and cups. This information will provoke emotions (pity and disgust, perhaps) on the writer. Method Acting classes aimed at a similar result, with the actor own emotional memories.
When the director “takes the helm” of a script, the characters take another test of believability. Directors have their own references for a role. Perhaps it’s a male friend who goes on drinking binges in response to his wife’s cheating. The director remembers his yellow fingertips from smoking cigarettes and his shaky manner. As a real person, this friend is totally believable. Solid acting training gives you just the kind of honesty that will convince the director that you’ve turned into this guy. (For the time being, of course!)
Everyone has life experiences with real people in it. It’s up to good acting schools and method acting in particular to point the way to how you can pass those “truth” tests with amazing results.
An actor bring a character out, from inside, using emotional intelligence. For the writer and director (not to mention producers and crew), the process stays trapped in their heads. An actor trained in method acting goes on a natural process of bringing personal emotional memories to serve the character’s needs.
How well the actor does this is key. It’s a lot to live up to, I know. But it’s also one challenge method acting training is equipped to meet. As the leading provider of method acting classes in London, I can help you get there.
When you get there, you’ll feel it. The director sits back, setting the script aside. All that matters now is you, the character, in action. That’s powerful. And there’s no faking it. Aunt Martha won’t go for it.
