Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they oppose specific points made in the reading passage.

Both the reading and the listening discuss method acting. The article states that the method emphasizes an individualized approach. The actor is required to bring reality with his emotions. However, the lecture opposes specific points made in the reading passage. The professor says that there are some problems with the method.

The first point the professor makes is that the actor determines the action to be created. He elaborates that the actors recycle the dialogue. As an example he says that they need to convey the message. This point opposes the point made in the reading. The latter states that realism is achieved by the actors by using techniques such as sense and memory.

Furthermore, the professor points out that the actors depend just on their own emotions. He explains that their emotions do not need to be realistic. To illustrate, some examples are very disturbing. This opposes the information from the reading. According to the passage, some skills are developed by using scripts to convey complexity of inner feelings.

Finally, the lecture states that the actors are required some skills. As the speaker has it, they need to train to communicate emotions. For example, their faces have to express emotions and they need to project their voices. This point opposes the reading’s key point. According to the article, acting is a difficult style to learn. It is not necessary training in voice or movement.
