His technique is, perhaps, the most universally accepted method to which you can approach acting. The idea stems from the firm basis that an actor must feel the emotions that the character is experiencing every time they come onto the stage. According to Stanislavski's method , the actor must think, act and behave truthfully as the character would ; ergo becoming one with the character.
This pushes the actor into embodying life on stage. What do you do? What if this happened to you? What would you think and how would you act?
Do you have any idea how liberating it is to not care what people think about you? Well, that's what we're here to do. Sanford Meisner looked to expand on the teachings of Stanislavski in progressing how the character thought. The practises involve a complex training structure that works on your improvisational skills , bringing forward your emotional responses, interpretation the script and finally adding them all together in a life-like manner to bring out the characters traits with your own experiences bursting out in the work.
Method acting also involves in-depth analysis of the script. Method actors break down the script to learn more about their characters and to find their motivations.
Method actors also learn how to improvise within a scene, helping them embody their character. They will draw from a real-life relationship to infuse an on-stage relationship with meaning.

The goal of the Meisner technique is to encourage the actor to be spontaneous, following their instincts on stage. Meisner believed that actors had to be involved in a real situation on stage to engage the audience.
The idea is that the actors become the character through action, committing and acting on impulse. There are several Meisner techniques that involve improvisation, allowing the actors to focus on being in the scene and what is happening in that moment. Meisner encouraged his actors to daydream, which he believed was a more powerful way to evoke emotion than sense memory or emotional memory. Meisner actors fantasize about having the experience of a character; for example, if the character is supposed to be sad in a scene, the actor will fantasize about what would make them really sad.
This is the only preparation for a scene under the Meisner technique; after this, the actor must react from moment to moment.
