Method acting does not seem like acting. It seems more like becoming the thing that you are supposed to act that you are. Once you become it, it is no longer an act. This might explain why some of the most successful performances are by method actors. What could be more convincing than becoming what you are trying to portray?

If you want to change something about yourself, method acting might be a good strategy. You imagine what the person you want to be would do and you do it. Learn what people like that do and do it. Repeat this long enough and you become the person you want to be.

When you think of the person you want to become, what do you imagine they do every day? What would happen if you started doing those things?
