About Us
The Method Acting Academy
At The Method Acting Academy, we are committed to preserving the authenticity and depth of Method Acting while making it accessible to actors from all walks of life.
Founded by Preeti Gupta, a dedicated practitioner trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in New York, our academy seeks to uphold the purity of this transformative craft while dispelling misconceptions and myths surrounding it.
The Legacy of Method ActingÂ
Rooted in the teachings of Stanislavski and further developed by visionaries like Lee Strasberg, Method Acting has revolutionized the way actors approach their craft. By encouraging actors to draw from their own emotional experiences, it creates performances that are raw, authentic, and profoundly human.
At its core, Method Acting is about truth—truth in emotion, truth in storytelling, and truth in character. It demands discipline, introspection, and a deep willingness to confront one’s inner self. Unfortunately, over time, misconceptions have overshadowed the essence of this art, reducing it to extremes or gimmicks.
At The Method Acting Academy, our mission is to cut through these illusions and bring the craft back to its roots: a disciplined, structured, and deeply artistic approach to acting.
Our Vision
Preeti’s vision for the academy is to create a space where the craft of Method Acting is honored in its truest form, while also evolving to meet the needs of today’s actors. We believe that everyone, regardless of background, can access this technique and use it to unlock their fullest potential. Acting is not reserved for the select few—it’s an art that can be learned, practiced, and mastered with guidance, hard work, and perseverance.
