Question:What did Stanislavski mean? Bit or beat?

Was Stanislavski's Russian accent so thick that when people thought he said "BEAT" he was really saying "BIT?"

How can I use emotional mammary to repeat an emotion in a scene or is that emotional memory? At the end is there a revolution or a resolution? How do I find my inner convict, or is that inner coflict? Do we make sure our costumes "fit" or "feet"? Do I work for free or for a fee?

Beat or bit? or Beet?

Ballet is easier than method acting because I don't know French, so it doesn't matter if you pronounce it wrong to me.

At the end, there is a resolution.
Stanislavski means "beat"- it's a natural pause.
And it's emotional memory.
We make our costumes fit.
You find your inner conflict.

1. He meant "beat." A pause.

2. That's why they call it "the method." It's something you study, not something that can be explained and learned in an internet question. There are plenty of books you can read. Check the library.

3. I think you mean "emotional memory." I hope you don't have an "emotional mammary," because a mammary is a breast.

Ok, he does not mean he's biting anyone. In method acting, a beat is a pause. It usually shows a change in thought or emotion.
Your costumes obviously "fit"
inner conflict.
I'm confused about the free or fee part though. haha.
