[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9242592, member: 177"] No, it is not. Method Acting is one specific approach to acting in which, among other things, actors try to use (indeed, re-live) their own emotional experiences to bring them closer to the emotional state of the characters they portray. Method acting specifically seeks to have the actor go beyond imitation of the person they represent, but to have the actor experience the same things the character does, as much as was possible. In effect, method acting aims for "reverse bleed" - inducing an emotional state in the actor that is then used in portraying the character. This is in no way generally true of freeform roleplay, which makes no claims on the emotional state of the player. I suppose someone could freeform roleplay using techniques from Method Acting, but given how few discussions of such appear on these boards or other roleplay discussion venues, I don't believe it is common.
