Stanislavsky denounced "Emotional Memory" on his death bed. Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg had a big falling out because of it. Stanislavsky replaced the dangerous "Emotional Memory" with "Emotional Imagination" which is far more advanced. You must include death-bed proclamations when citing the body of a man's lifetime work.
@@elitepro7487 If you study Adler and Strasberg's works and teachings, you'll know that they had a falling out. @steven frasier is correct. You can refer to the book ACTOR TRAINING edited by Alison Hodge about Active Analysis. You can also reference Dr. Sharon Carnicke's website (who was a student of Maria Knebel who was Stanislavsky's assistant during the last years of his life.) And you can reference James Thomas' book A DIRECTOR'S GUIDE TO STANISLAVSKY'S ACTIVE ANALYSIS. I hope that helps!
@@shinchan___4 Actually, no... There is no such thing as "Stanislavski Method Acting". "Method Acting" is uniquely American. It's an adaptation loosely based on Stanislavski's work. It's psychologically damaging to the actor, causing neurosis--which is what Stella Adler fought against. Brando and Pacino are NOT Stanislavskian actors, and their careers drove them to insanity. "Method Acting" isn't even "acting" in a real sense. "The Method" is for producers; it's actually designed for people with charisma of personality, but little to nothing, in actual acting skills. REAL "Acting" died in the late 1800s to early 1900s. That's "Capitalism" for ya!--Lol... ~Steven of Montreal
@@BriaWalker-Rhoze Thank you Bria, I'm glad I'm not alone in this. Not many people know that Lee Strasberg was sadistic in his training methods, and a bad father to boot. He cared more about his cat than his own son. Stanislavski would have kicked his ass for the way he treated many of his students. The Actor's Studio is a Synagogue of Satan in the Acting World. The famous Method Actors of our culture equate to idolatry. (and btw., I'm not religious, just taking poetic license for descriptive purposes.)
@@shinchan___4 "Emotional Memory" is merely one tiny aspect of Stanislavski's entire body of work, to which he dedicated his entire life. EM was meant as a last resort for actors who had the most difficulty in identifying with their characterization of a role. It's like eating a grape from a celebrated wine orchard, and then calling yourself a Vinter. A "Method Actor" is not the same as a "Stanislavskian Actor", even though EM is "LOOSELY" based on one mere aspect of his work. Plus, Stanislavski denounced EM when Stella Adler visited him in the hospital, but Strasberg was too stubborn and obstinate for updates--he only cared about maintaining his status that he had built up by that time. Stanislavskian Acting is not conducive to the "Star System" of America, because it's based on the "Ensemble System" that doesn't use the fame of a performer as a profitable commodity. "Character Acting" died long ago, now today everyone is taught NOT to act, which is why I said REAL acting is dead. Now it's all about being a "Celeb", not an "Actor" in the truest sense of the word. I've read ALL of Stanislavski's translated works, Strasberg's work AND Adler. Stella Adler is by far the most HONEST representative of Stanislavski, but Strasberg's "Actor's Studio" became an "Institution" for wannabe-stars. Lipton is an idol-worshipping puppet. True Acting will be resurrected after Christ's return--Lol...
Wow, these comments are brutal! I think for a 5 minute video this was really well done. Obviously anyone with an interest in Stan. Will do more research. Civilians don't need to know more than this video presents.
Great and fun video. Keep it up. Except Stanislavski didn't create Method Acting. He never used this term. Stanislavski had a System. "Method" implies one way of doing things. "System" implies a flexible approach with various techniques available to suit the situation. Method Acting is an American invention and interpretation by Lee Strasberg (and others) primarily of Stanislavski's first book "An Actor Prepares." Two other books were published in English (3 total). He intended the first two books to be published in one volume (and I believe they were in Russia) but the publisher thought it would be best to split them up. Method Acting certainly encompasses the things mentioned in the video. It has produced some fabulous actors and amazing performances on screen. It is not without controversy though. Actors reliance on emotion memory (a technique where a detailed memory of a personal emotional experience is recalled and used in rehearsal or in performance) is not for everyone. Especially if someone has experienced trauma or a painful upbringing. In fact, Stanislavski's best student, and master of his technique, Michael Chekhov (often considered Russia's finest actor), abandoned emotion memory on the grounds that it was too destructive and limited the actor and character to his own life. Chekhov moved toward imagination and movement to ascend personal experience. Later in life, Stanislavski abandons emotion memory and also moves toward a method of physical action.
While the approach to the Suspension of Disbelief was confused with Method Acting (a method Stanislavsky HATED, by the way), I really appreciated this as a refresher for my theatre final! Thanks!
Here's the video transcript for the people who can't understand his suicidal thought-inducing narration. It happens you come to the theatre. You watch the show, but there's nothing to watch! Boring! Or even worse; the actor as we say overacts; Yells, twitches, twirls. But he's empty inside, and the audience even feels sorry for you. Oh dear, why does it take you such great pains? Have a rest. And sometimes the actor seems to be simply voicing words. But the audience in the hall is crying. What's the secret? How does it happen? The answer was invented by Constantin Stanislavsky more than 80 years ago. He invented the method not for geniuses, but to ensure that any actor could act l'audibly. Actors have to know it. But the basics of the Stanislavsky method can be helpful for anyone performing in public. After all, it is the method that can make the speaker a charismatic one
This seems to be a corporate video for public speaking in general. It should probably be presented as 1. Know what you want your audience to take away from your speech. 2. Believe what you’re selling them so they’ll believe you. 3. Present possible conflicting arguments to make the journey to the conclusion more interesting.
i like this Video :-), but could you PLEASE send me the source of your Informations? I can't find all three principles. :-( (sorry for my english) would be very very nice
Really there's only two things to remember from Stanislavski. 1) The magic 'if': you need to be more than the character on stage, you need to be him offstage (think of the Godfather and Raging BUll where the main characters perfectly achieved this). You need to know who your character is. 2) You have to use your emotional memory: how can you fake a feeling that you never had? Dig in to your past and use your emotional memories to make your acting look more realistic.
Bro, first of all, it's the Stanislavsky system, not the Stanislavsky method. As far as I know, Stanislavsky wrote 3 books, 1 An. Actor Prepares 2. Building a character 3. Creating a Role. What you described is what is somewhat common in all of them. But you missed some critical points. What about taking inspiration from real-life events and using the 'what if ' technique to move closer to the character from your starting point. How about breaking the script into text(ahat's actually written) and sub-text(what the actor is supposed to deduce from the script). Sorry to say but incomplete video.

This video is really good but the narrator makes me want to harm others.

I wanted to drown my dog that I don't have because of the narrators voice
That's funny!

Narrates a video on acting
Can't articulate 3 points without it sounding unfinished
honestly, idk y everyone be hating on this video, its got great animation and I find it helpful!
@@blaisenevill4571 no they’re correct if they still believe it now
@@blaisenevill4571not only youre being a smart ass, even your objection is wrong

I will always use this tool. Thank you Stanislavski.

This video is more for public speakers than actors, but Stanislavski created the system SPECIFICALLY for actors....

It was confused with Lee strasberg technique yes but even Stanislavski technique is method acting watch vox video
this video was really helpful for me, I have a really short attention span and it made sense for me
The narrator's inflection is confusing. It's as if he's asking questions rather than stating the information confidently.
Happy anniversary and all the best !!! ... :)
Awesome thank you! Clearly explained. Was totally in the dark.

you should try donning the Stanislavsky method

It was the "Stanislavsky system" (good acting) and the Lee Strasberg "Method" ( dwell on past sensory circumstances similar to your character's).
Wonderful. Thank you .
Just watching this, made me understand A LOT more, and in FAR LESS time, than reading his, "An Actor Prepares" book.
I liked the Animation in this video.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
happy birthday Konstantín
His name is Constantin Stanislavski .... NOT Konstantin Stanislavsky....
This is a great video! I think there is a lot of people who have to watch this video in Drama class =))
thank you for making this video
i like this Video :-), but could you PLEASE send me the source of your Informations? I can't find all three principles. :-( (sorry for my english) would be very very nice

read this. its only 9 pages and sums up a lot of the system
Thank you for the accessibility of the method for secondary age learners
After this video. I totally NOT understand the system lol
What a graphic...woww
This is so wrong. Stanislavski was never focused on what an audience was supposed to do after a performance.
Is there a book that goes over Stanislavsky's technique?
2:59 larry david what are you doing here
It’s very helpful.
impresif.thx
Thanks!
so it means Stanislavsky's acting methods are 3 in number!
What is my audience expected to do after my performance? someone answer this
Also I swear literally no one can spell his name right. it's constanin stanislavski you melts
Константи́н Серге́евич Станисла́вский
This video just changed my life.
helped with homework
Are these videos good for CUET?
Man, tomorrow I have to film, and I am so fucking scared. But thank you, this helped.
I didnt understand anything. I should read him in Russian.

no
he never said that remembering emotions is good. the emotion comes from the physical action.
Kathy Vanhout, о, ну так понятнее, спасибо:)

Hi
Epic
I personally think that the background music isn't very good. The narrators voice is annoying.
yeah it sucks
this is my personal opinion but the models are terrifying
NOTE:
Constantin Stanislavski is the correct way to spell this...
NOT Konstantin Stanislavsky ... WHO is that???
And Wikipedia says Konstantin Stanislavski. So... which one of you should I trust?
Bro, first of all, it's the Stanislavsky system, not the Stanislavsky method. As far as I know, Stanislavsky wrote 3 books, 1 An. Actor Prepares 2. Building a character 3. Creating a Role.
