In this episode of It’s Not NOT a Meisner Podcast, hosts Kevin Kittle and Carson S. Davis unpack the mind of acting legend Konstantin Stanislavski and his powerful writings on Artistic Truth and Natural Beauty.

What does it mean to make fiction feel real? Why is emotional honesty more important than surface-level realism? Kevin and Carson explore how actors can access truth, return to a childlike sense of presence, and bring authenticity to every moment on stage.

You’ll hear about:
🎭 The difference between external beauty and internal truth
🌀 Making an “untruth” feel completely truthful
🌱 Why nature and artistic truth are inseparable
🧠 How to stay present, undefended, and emotionally available

Whether you're an actor, teacher, or theater nerd, this episode is your invitation to dig deeper into the why of acting—not just the how.
