Emotion memory is one of the most powerful tools used by professional actors with no ill effects whatsoever. However I add one caveat, one needs professional experience as an actor in many aspects of our industry to understand how to use this choice approach. It is a skill set that’s absolutely required in countless professional circumstances, as you get ready for a take on film for example: one has to be in the emotional being state of one’s character within the given circumstances of the scene your about to shoot. However if you don’t have security of process, a methodical approach to emotion memory, if you’re an amateur and dabbling, emotional recall and substitution work it is of no use to you…avoid it because it won’t work, nothing bad will happen to you, it just won’t work and you will ‘act’ the idea of the emotion, which of course is bad acting. If you’re afraid of your own emotions you’re not a professional actor. There is no shame in this, it’s just your facticity. Know yourself and be authentic with your self.
This was a great video! Just finishing up Stanislavski’s an Actor Prepares and next up was Stella Adler & Uta Hagen looking forward to reading them now after watching this.
Richard Boleslavsky and Maria Ouspenskaya worked with Stanislavski in his First Studio of the Moscow Arts Theatre and in 1923 set up the American Laboratory Theatre in New York. They taught Stanislavski’s system including emotional recall/memory (which you rightly say Stanislavski subsequently moved away from). One of their students was Lee Strasberg who developed ‘the Method’.
I enjoyed your video. Though basic but think you actually did a fair job on the acting techniques and made is quite understandable to anyone. Personally as an actor I usually use Stellar Adler's imagination of course because it's not mentally and psychologically endangering however I ones tried Lee Strasbourg emotional recall. I had to stop it while I still had control on myself because the dark emotion that I evoked stayed with me almost through out the shoot even when I was unnecessary. I suddenly became cold and withdrawn. I'll ONLY try the emotional recall on a production where measures and resources are put in place to take me out of such emotion or if/when I have the resources myself. Until then I'll go with Stellar Adler. Thanks
Watch carefully how did his character transformed. This will tell you how he did kept him in character throughout the Series/movie. Since shoot doesn't happen Serially most of the times last scene is shoot before middle part , and middle part before First scene . So this will tell you how he did kept him character even when it didn't made serially.
Hi Keshav Thakur , in my video I explain how I don’t recommend emotional recall as it can be potentially dangerous, and is definitely something that should be done with a trained professional so no I can’t make such a video . I do have a video on the magic if - improvisation
Comment your opinion on this topic and any suggestions of videos you'd like me to do in future

Pravu METOD glumu dobili bi kad bi mo MODULIRLI na NLP-I način Miltona Eriksona i Stanislavskog te Marlon Branda...
A terrible methodology that even Stanislavski disavowed. There are a range of much better options.
Nonsense
thank you 🩵🩷
