28. Pavlov Dog Theory on Humans

Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov conditioned his dogs to associate the sound of a bell with food...at the same time Stanislavsky was looking for conscious means to control our reactions as actors. We as actors can be and are trained to feel certain emotions, stimulated by sounds, touches and the rest of our senses. As I demonstrate here, it takes me trying three different sounds to make the emotions arise.

Ari Melber on The Beat a program on MSNBC interviews Sharon Stone and asks the wrong question as do majority of people who misunderstand acting: You have to become another character!? No Ari, Sharon Stone could have corrected him, we tap into the myriad of different characters we all have as complex humans and choose the necessary ones for the specific role. That is the art in the actors. Normal people can get away with presenting one or two but actors need to present hundreds to keep the audiences engaged and do justice to the roles.
