Internal vs. External Acting – Stimulation vs. Simulation
First off, let’s start by examining the meaning of internal, external, stimulation, and simulation. It may seem obvious enough, but these four concepts are central in evaluating good acting from mediocre acting or worse, much worse... Though it may also seem obvious that good acting, like great beauty, has to come from inside to make the external shine, we’ve all seen bad acting enough to know that not all acting training is on the same page. Basically, internal means from the inside. External means from the outside. Stimulation means an act that encourages a given response. Simulation means an act that imitates the appearance of a given response.

Many of these actors work with personal acting coaches to perfect their technique, in the same way that athletes work with coaches to perfect their technique.

To many actors, even mentioning the very words will make their faces grimace as some actors may feel the practise totally unecessary to achieve the role or part in hand. Methof acting however is not so uncommon and there are many great actors who still practise the technique. From Marlin Brando many years ago to modern day actors like Sean Penn; the practise is still in play. I for one was always some what narrow minded when it came to method acting but after studying and employing just a few of Stanislavski's findings, I was soon to start dancing to a different beat!

How Serious Are You About Acting?
Many people like the idea of acting and think that anyone can do it. This is reflected in the fact that some people take ad hoc drama classes for a month or two, and believe that is enough to become a professional. The truth is acting is like any job.
