What technique do you guys use to get to a place of emotional depth as an actor? Do you think of something sad or something that made you mad depending on the character and scene? What ways do you get to these levels? Thanks and Cheers!!

I have 15 years of acting experience, including a BA in Theatre Performance and Directing and an MFA in Acting. Oddly enough, I'm a passionate creative type who is also quite good with organization and mundane office work. I have multiple credits as a stage manager, director and producer. As an actor, my type is usually the neurotic villain's assistant or the quirky best friend who could get the girl. I have extensive training in Meisner acting techniques and Linklater and Lugering voice and movement techniques. I'm an adjunct professor at Concordia University in Irvine, CA and I'm available to do one-on-one coaching as well. Thanks for checking me out! http://www.JeffFazakerley.com/

I was also hired as a producer for a major arts festival in Naples, FL. However, most of these ventures are just start up companies and I feel like I need some more experience at the ground level. Where can I find such experience? If I don't have a degree in producing and theatre management am I screwed? I do have BA in Theatre Performance and Directing and an MFA in Acting with a directing concentration. Thoughts?
WOW!! Some amazing responses from all of you. Stephen, J.Louis, Sylvie and Talus....Thank you all!

Expand commentHey Joshua, Your question tells me where you are right now with your acting. I was there once and what helped me and taught me was the Meisner Technique. This is a cumulative process that allows you to do what needs to be done in the moment. Acting is behaving truthfully in imaginary circumstances. Start at the beginning and discover what you have inside so you can take the writer's words and sour.
