Actors: A Psychological Sketch

by Brandon R. Burdette

Actors and actresses are fascinating individuals, in that they choose to share themselves through the personalities and identities of others. What motivates them to seek refuge in the creative realm over life in the real world? Which ones are truly artists, and which ones use art to cope? Which qualities separate great actors from average ones? How is it that Stanislavski's methodology is able to render the most authentic of human behavior through actors? What is the "emotional memory" technique, and what are its mental dangers? These questions, and others, are considered in " A Psychological Sketch" by a writer who studied for several years under both the Meisner and Method approaches to acting.
