Essay topics in audio

Both the reading and the listening discuss contemporary method acting. The article states that the method emphasizes a psychological approach. However, the lecture opposes specific points made in the reading passage. The professor says the method has some problems.

The first point the professor makes is the actor determines what is supposed to do in a scene. He elaborates that the actor has the responsibility to convey the message. As an example he says that it is not up to the actor to take any action. This point opposes the point made in the passage. The latter states the actor is required to get realism with emotions and experiences.

Furthermore, the professor points out that the actor depends on his own emotion. He explains that the method is not realistic. This opposes the point from the reading. According to the article, the method helps the actor in developing his skills in using a script to transmit the complexity of inner feelings.

Finally, the lecture states that the method requires training to communicate with external means. As the speaker has it, the method does not require good action but it requires a very good voice projection. This point opposes the reading’s key point. According to the passage, method acting is difficult to learn because there are no technical forms that can be practiced.
