    🎉 After 15 installments of diving deep into Sanford Meisner’s technique, Kevin Kittle & Carson S. Davis sit down to reflect on the first season of It’s Not NOT a Meisner Podcast and answer YOUR questions & comments sent in over the past few months. 💌

    From debates on whether “talent is something you either have or you don’t” 🤔, to the role of training vs. raw creativity 🎨, to how actors of the past approached their craft before formal techniques... we’re covering it all. Kevin also speaks on teaching today’s generation of actors, the challenges he’s seen over decades in the classroom, and what he wishes he could wave away from contemporary culture. 🪄

    It’s a heartfelt, challenging, and celebratory episode as we close out Season One. 🌟 Whether you’ve been with us since Episode 1 or you’re just joining in, this finale is a chance to pause, reflect, and lean deeper into the work. Don't worry... we'll be back in a few (short) weeks. 🎭

    In EP09, PT2, the Golden Globe & Emmy-nominee, Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory, The Flight Attendant), joins Kevin & Carson for a conversation that’s funny, candid, and full of heart. ⭐

    Actors won’t want to miss this one — Kaley may hate talking about acting, but what she reveals is gold:

    ✨ Why not overthinking can make you more present and truthful
    💡 The power of joy, play, and generosity on set — and why kindness matters as much as talent
    🐶 How building balance through her dog wellness company Oh Norman!, motherhood, and production company makes her stronger as an actor
    😂 Lessons from John Ritter, Chris Messina, and her own journey through TV, film, and stage

    Kaley’s humor, honesty, and kindness shine through every moment — reminding actors that the best “technique” is often simple: show up, be present, and bring yourself fully. 💖

  • EP09, PT1: Holding Space for Positive Choices
    Aug 14 2025

    Send us a text

    Kevin & Carson unpack what it really means for actors to make positive choices—not “good” in the moral sense, but choices that keep you open, available, and fully alive in the moment. 💡 Whether it’s in a scene, an exercise, or life, the duo digs into why leaning into these expansive choices fuels richer experiences and deeper truth in your work. 👂

    In this episode:

    🛠 How to recognize and craft positive choices in acting

    🤔 Why some choices shut you down instead of opening you up

    😂 Romper Room nostalgia, and the art of feeling truly “seen”

    It’s a warm, funny, and eye-opening conversation that reminds us: the best acting lives where you’re most available to the experience. 🎬✨
