  • Acting needs saving: Milton to the rescue

    It’s like being taught by Stella Adler. Milton’s knowledge and passion is so refreshing to any Actor at any stage of their career. His tools to apply to your craft will get your work to a more specific place rather than any cliche we see constantly. I’m proud to be a longtime student of his!!!

  • Filled the gap

    I discovered Milton by accident on a random google search. Afterwards, I picked up a Stella Adler book and found that I could finally understand what she was talking about. I quickly subscribed to his podcast. I had finished two years of Michael Chekhov and Meisner. And while I love both techniques, I found there was a big gap. Milton filled it. Script analysis.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Putting In Your Own Words
Q: Do you actually try different impulses or actions for each thought, or do you?
No, I don't try different impulses, but I focus on the overall action while recognizing the sequence of thoughts for each line.
What Acting Is and Isn't
Q: What are your thoughts on going outside the script to stimulate what you've sensed in the script?
Justice emphasizes the importance of behavior and drawing from personal experience and imagination, rather than inventing circumstances that aren't true to the play.
There Is No One Secret to Acting
Q: Is there ever a point where you get good enough at making choices that you are making, that you get beyond making the choice?
Yes, it is a muscle. It is a muscle. I've done it for so long. I mean, I've been teaching for 35 years... It's why I say, you know, you can do something I love, something I hate every single morning.
