Meisner is really based on the Method. The method is taught a million different ways. The teacher is more important than the techinque.

There are SO many techniques out there. I prefer Meisner too. I suggest you check out the book called "Movement For Actors" it really gives you a nice descriptions of the many teachniques out there.

out of the two, personally I prefer Meisner hands down. However, there's several other techniques out there besides those two. You need to try as many out as possible to find the one that you're most comfortable with

I have had formal Meisner, Stanislavski, Strasberg, commedia, Meyerhold, and Brechtian training. There is something good in all of them. Explore everything and you are bound to find something useful. Commit to learning, but not to none esclusively and you will find all the things that work for you.

How about Uta Hagen. The best method is the one that works for you, whether it is theatre, motion pictures, or television. Each has it's uniqueness, and sometimes you'll require a combination of all techniques. Instincts are your best friend. As Meryl Streep said, "Techniques help, but the talent and the instinct has to dwell deep within, or the classes are useless."

The one that takes you where you need to go. It's your choice.
