Is Stella Adler acting school outdated? Are there modern acting schools/courses in Los Angeles?
WRONG! Stella Adler, Strasberg, Chekhov, Meisner, etc. are ALL relevant to and are STILL used in film acting! They are all ways of becoming present in a scene. Adler is great in helping you REALLY use your imagination. Strasberg if learned and done right can be useful in helping you become better emotionally connected to a scene. Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Mark Ruffalo, and Benicio del Toro were students of Adler and are/were great FILM actors. Al Pacino, James Dean, Mickey Rourke, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman use Strasberg and are/were GREAT FILM actors. Stella Adler and Strasberg themselves had successful FILM careers as well. So to say that they’re outdated is a total fallacy and whomever told you that needs to be shot! Of the schools that you’ve mentioned, I’ve studied with Doug Warhit. He’s a great teacher and his classes are on camera. He’s studied Adler, Strasberg, and Meisner and uses all three in his teachings. i’ve also studied with Vinny Guastafero. He also studied Adler,
