A story of a song or opera might be fictional and the composer and musicians might never have been in the situation the story is about, but they have a stock of experiences and emotions they could and should use. Peter Ustinov once claimed that he dislikes method acting, he claimed that he is (was) an actor, he doesn't need to feel what the character he plays feels, he is able to fake the emotion without feeling it. IMO there are many method actors who are much, much better than Peter Ustinov ever was. IMO we can notice if an artists does use a stock of experiences and emotions when making art or if he just use craftsmanship to fake emotions. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
