Actors — eye contact isn’t connection. 👀
You might be looking at your partner… but are you letting them affect you?
In Meisner, it’s not about appearing to listen.
It’s about being present — open to being changed in real time.
In the video link below, Jessica Houde-Morris — 2nd generation Meisner teacher and founder of Houde School of Acting — breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of the Meisner Technique:
➡️ The difference between looking and listening
➡️ Why great acting isn’t about planning your reactions
➡️ And how real connection means being willing to change in the moment.
Slow down. Tune in. Let it move you. 🎯
Challenge yourself:
✨ What is my partner doing?
✨ How do I feel?
✨ What do I want to do?
Stay open.
Stay curious.
The connection will come.
