Lowkey, I always wonder like what the actors learn in their programs, like what techniques they do learn, because I just like to wonder what they do every day besides from there like dance and movement classes. This article kind of helped shed light on this, in the sense that they more shape a person than enforce a rigid rule like this is what you need to do. It was super interesting reading about this CMU and how, like, nothing can fully prepare you for the real world of acting, but some tips and tricks can help you succeed, so I thought her take on this was super informative. I also haven't seen this in the context of the TV show The Boys, so maybe after this, I'll take a watch and see if I can understand what this actress is talking about, specifically in the context of this TV show and series.
