Meisner Technique journal paper published
Sharing my recent success, I had my first theatre studies journal paper published a few days ago. It's available on open access here: Full article: The Rules of Call: A New Taxonomy and Critique of Different Calls in Meisner Technique Exercises

@Glen Hutsell Seeing lots of different teachers teach radically different versions of Meisner, and hearing / discussing their reasons for their versions.

@Glen Hutsell In relation to the article, objective vs. opinion based calls. British Meisner is the outlier in focusing on objective calls.
A beginner looking for better practice reps
Hey Rebels, I’m Glen in Tennessee, originally from Denver. I used to perform close-up card magic in a bar, so getting in front of people isn’t completely foreign. Acting is a different skill, though, and I’m here to learn rather than pretend the two are the same. Guy’s invitation to share what we actually need made this easy: I’d like to get more comfortable on camera and make a short scene feel like a conversation. What beginner exercise helped you most with listening and reacting naturally? A small drill beats another mountain of notes for me.

I may be bias, but the best way to practice this is the general rep exercise from the meisner technique. Look for a local meisner class ideally, but if not it's possible to do it online.
Youth career advice
Hey so I want to get a serious youth acting career but I have multiple paths and I want to make sure I pick the best one.( Theatre to film/tv On camera acting training/classes to search for agent and auditioning OR jump straight into film/tv acting classes) Obviously there’s gaps in between this such as headshots, auditions, etc. and the path is never easy and clear. Also when I do take classes, what classes should I take? (Scene study, auditioning, etc.) Thank you so much!

@Bianca Bibiano is there a drama teacher at your school you can speak to about this? and/or a careers adviser? There are facebook groups for child actors - but you may need your parents to join on your behalf. Look for agencies for supporting artist work - it's a good way to get experience on a film set.
Online acting course
Those of you in the Sunday chats will have heard me talking about doing a teaching qualification (which I've now finished) and teaching the Meisner technique & a new version of it, the Gonsalves Method. I'm launching a 6 week online course of the Gonsalves Method, starting Monday 7th Sept. Details here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/6-week-online-acting-class-tickets-1993630946829?aff=oddtdtcreator Would be great to see some of you there.

Show - Black Mountain, 26-29th August in Bristol, 4th Sept in Cardiff
Sharing the show I'm directing: "In a cabin in a forest by a mountain, Paul and Rebecca find time, space and truth to try saving their fractured relationship. Yet in the shadow of the mountain, paranoia grows as someone from their past has followed them here. A psychological thriller that dives into betrayal and the price of trust, forgiveness and revenge. With razor-sharp dialogue and an atmosphere thick with dread, this is modern theatre that creeps under your skin and lingers long after the lights fade. Who can you trust in the dark, who can you trust atop the mountain?" Tickets on sale now. 26-29th August, Alma tavern, Bristol Buy Tickets – Black Mountain by Brad Birch – Alma Tavern and Theatre 4th September, Porters, Cardiff Black Mountain at Porter's Theatre event tickets from TicketSource You can follow our production group here: Instagram Facebook
