After a month-long holiday hiatus, Kevin and Carson are back with Episode 5 of Season Two of It’s Not (NOT) A Meisner Podcast.

In this episode, “Eliminate What It Isn’t!” they dig into Sanford Meisner’s true meaning of “crafting,” unpack Kristen Stewart’s recent New York Times interview on Method Acting, and challenge one of the most persistent misconceptions in actor training: that (for an actor) there is such a thing as a “scene.”

What is technique actually for? Where does preparation end and living begin? And what happens when you strip away everything that isn’t acting?

🎭 Honest. Practical. Occasionally heretical.
Welcome back.

🎙️ In EP04 of Season 2, acting teacher & director Kevin Kittle and his student Carson S. Davis dig into Meisner’s Opened-Up Activity; and why it can explode your spontaneity and specificity when you stop “performing” and start doing.

🧱 Then we talk about a deceptively powerful trick: making it harder on your character (aka adding obstacles that raise the stakes)—because when the situation gets tougher, the scene gets more alive. 🔥

☕️ And yes… Kevin recently discovered the phrase “spill the tea," so we unpack that too, in the most actor-brain way possible. 😂

STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES!

In EP03 of Season 2, Kevin and Carson dive into Sanford Meisner’s sometimes elusive, always electric ⚡️ concept of Emotional Preparation. What is it really? Why does it matter? And why do so many actors twist themselves into knots 🤯 trying to “get it right”? They break down Meisner’s idea as both a skill and a tool—every bit as essential to an actor as a hammer is to a carpenter 🔨. With stories, clarity, and a few laughs along the way 😂, they remind you of the simplest truth: don’t overthink it.
