The Actor’s method, or is it meisner? special guests! Jonny Atrocity, Actor

Acting is the art of embodying a character to portray a character on stage or screen. However, it is much more than just memorizing lines, and in this episode, we will be disgusted with Miami-based actor Jonny Atrocity. Jonny will discuss his journey from acting on the stage to being cast as the lead in the award-winning short film Antoni-A. Also, Jonny will share with our listeners how his dedication to the craft of acting from the time he was in high school today has allowed him to take on different roles portraying a wide range of characters. We’ll discuss the differences between two of the most well-known and widely taught acting techniques, Method and Meisner, and how both ultimately stem from the man who is considered the father of modern stage and screen acting, Konstantin Stanislavski. Jonny will share the differences between acting on stage and in front of a camera with our listeners. Everything from where you stand to how you project your voice to how the minutiae of facial expressions differ. He’ll describe how being a stage actor has made him a better film actor and why it is not so easy for actors to back and forth between stage and screen. He was also kind enough to share his experience filming an intimate scene in Antoni-A. Most important providing insight into all the little things that the director did to ensure that the actors were in a safe environment and that they were comfortable in this type of performance in front of a camera. Finally, Jonny, a musician, will not only share some exciting news about the release of his new single, but we will also play a sample of that and let our audience know where they can download it. As always, we will focus on South Florida and the opportunities for current and aspiring actors on stage and on screen.
