Real Life Actor Studio Jeff Seymour
What I've discovered is, that rather than over think and over work an acting approach that has little to do with the real way humans deal with life's dilemmas, it was better to simply focus on what people actually concern themselves with and leave the rest to instinct. Shouldn't there be a method of approaching our work that falls more in line with the way humans actually confront conflict? Must we always be given a ton of information before we act only to hear, “Okay now, forget about all that and just act the scene. Can't we just be given the information we need to remember, as in life? Must we always have to resort to a lot of exercise malarkey and acting calculus to achieve what we so effortlessly achieve everyday in life? ”

Sentiment Analysis
He's totally different to other methods and teachers I've seen.
By using real life, we are able to honour the story and the human experience, as opposed to disrespecting them by using old, antiquated methods in which one breaks down and plans out a scene ahead of time, therefore planning the human interaction ...
It allowed me to speak freely, move like a person, and not worry about anything other that getting what I wanted from my partner in that moment
I’ve done every class and every method you can think of and none have impacted me as an artist in the way the ‘real life actor’ method has.
Put simply: Jeff points to the logical understanding that the actor is to do nothing more than, as closely as possible, authentically simulate real life; that such a simulation is nothing more than a conscious decision; that we make those decisions hundreds if not thousands of times each day, in real life, effortlessly and with indisputable authenticity.
I no longer have to worry about my intent, or making sure the other actor knows exactly what I’m going to do, or exactly how I’m going to say something.
His approach makes so much sense and there’s never a dull moment in his classes.
Jeff has changed my whole approach to acting, not only am I doing the best work of my life but I'm having more fun than I've had since high school drama class.
Jeff gives you the tools to free yourself from all the obstacles that frequently stop us from actually enjoying this crazy, wonderful profession, thus allowing you to be more authentic in your work and focused on what really matters.
His class has been refreshing and a joy to experience and I feel myself improving as well as others in the class.
