Acting & Sales

There's an acting exercise where two people sit opposite one another...

They make direct eye contact.

Each person will recite a banal sentence in a myriad of different ways to convey different meaning, emotion & feelings behind the words.

This is received by the other person.

And they respond in context.

It's called the Meisner technique and it's built on repetition, emotion & improvisation.

It's designed to unlock different forms of expression, upon which words are merely the vehicle of delivery.

The real meaning is conveyed by eye contact, body language, tone, pace, inflection and delivery.

In acting it's designed to bring about a more truthful performance.

To deepen the connection between two people.

Do you want to sound...
