ACTOR
Actor and human being. The Actor is done by human being and as better you know yourself better will be your acting. Don´t loose yourself.Whatever you do on the stage you are doing for yourself, as in life.Because first of all we are human and it´s up to you what kind of life you want to have.
If you eat bad food, if you listen to not inspiring music, if you read sily things all the time,etc.
All this is your food.
The same applies to acting, your life is being determinated depending on which kind of work you choose or you decide to watch. As an actor we will never be as perfect as nature but we can try to get closer and closer.For that we need to prepare ourself everyday, always learning.
This means that we are in constant training of ourselves,
If not, you can only pretend that you are an stage actor.

Your body is your instrument, this also means your voice.You need to know your emotions even you cannot call them when you need. You need to know about your reactions, your listening, your observation, your movement in different situations, etc.
There is no method, the method is your method.
For sure you can be inspired by somebody but what works for someone else sometimes doesn´t work for you.
In my way I´m far from to try to teach how to be an actor, I just try to share some tools that can help you to develop yourself, and once you are developed as a human being you can choose whatever you want to do, including acting .
  And all that it is just THEATER.
