Davis sit down to reflect on the first season of It’s Not NOT a Meisner Podcast and answer YOUR questions & comments sent in over the past few months. 💌From debates on whether “talent is something you either have or you don’t” 🤔, to the role of training vs. raw creativity 🎨, to how actors of the past approached their craft before formal techniques... we’re covering it all. Kevin also speaks on teaching today’s generation of actors, the challenges he’s seen over decades in the classroom, and what he wishes he could wave away from contemporary culture. 🪄It’s a heartfelt, challenging, and celebratory episode as we close out Season One. 🌟 Whether you’ve been with us since Episode 1 or you’re just joining in, this finale is a chance to pause, reflect, and lean deeper into the work.
