Barry John’s method in acting is a modified of creating the “Internal Character Build-Up.” This type or way of acting is that your acting comes from your heart in that sense you don’t have to fill a bucket of your tears rather using your internal emotions. This type of acting is quite difficult to achieve. Barry simplified this way of acting. He made a method where actor/actresses will use their body senses to make it make it easier. Using body senses will make your emotions flow thru your heart and all the next things that will happen will be a surprise and miracle as an act.
