💡In this week’s episode, Kevin and Carson (joined by our brilliant sound engineer Will Ehren) dive deep into Meisner’s concept of Implanted Meanings: what they are, how they work, and how actors can actually use them in their craft. We build directly off last week’s breakdown of Crafting, pulling it apart and connecting theory to usable, on-your-feet technique.

Along the way:
☕ Kevin explains his strong feelings about Throat Coat tea
😂 We unpack inside jokes that evolve with each new generation (yes... Kevin does know about 6-7)
🎬 & Plenty of practical, actor-facing application, not just academic theory

And hey!! 📩 Send us your questions to the email below for the Season 2 finale coming up in a few weeks. We want to hear from YOU! (yes, YOU - the one reading this right now)

After a month-long holiday hiatus, Kevin and Carson are back with Episode 5 of Season Two of It’s Not (NOT) A Meisner Podcast.

In this episode, “Eliminate What It Isn’t!” they dig into Sanford Meisner’s true meaning of “crafting,” unpack Kristen Stewart’s recent New York Times interview on Method Acting, and challenge one of the most persistent misconceptions in actor training: that (for an actor) there is such a thing as a “scene.”

What is technique actually for? Where does preparation end and living begin? And what happens when you strip away everything that isn’t acting?

🎭 Honest. Practical. Occasionally heretical.
Welcome back.

🎙️ In EP04 of Season 2, acting teacher & director Kevin Kittle and his student Carson S. Davis dig into Meisner’s Opened-Up Activity; and why it can explode your spontaneity and specificity when you stop “performing” and start doing.

🧱 Then we talk about a deceptively powerful trick: making it harder on your character (aka adding obstacles that raise the stakes)—because when the situation gets tougher, the scene gets more alive. 🔥

☕️ And yes… Kevin recently discovered the phrase “spill the tea," so we unpack that too, in the most actor-brain way possible. 😂

STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES!
