Many schools of drama refer to the process of acting. There seems to as many interpretations of the process as there are plays. Does anybody have a definitive answer.

There is NO definitive answer and anyone who tell you otherwise is simply ignorant, however many acting schools base their process on the methods of Konstantine Stanislavski,inventor of "The System", Lee Strassberg "The method" and Sanford Meisner. Interestingly playwright/director David Mamet,is no fan of any of them so it's a matter of personal preference. All can work for you if you find one that resonates with you and you study it diligently. You can find books on all of them. Wikipedia has some information on them but it's very incomplete. Every director you work with will be different, have different ideas.

Nobody has a definitive answer - and if they say they do, they lie. No matter which schools you train at or who you study with it will all be a little different. Some training is very technical and some very emotionally oriented - both are processes. There are processes involving focusing on text and some on character issues (speech, body posture, etc.). The best thing to do is study as much as you can and find what process works for you.
Once you find a way of working that produces results for you then that becomes your process of acting.

I don 't think there can be a difinitive answer. As an actor you aproach every part differently. I would interpret 'the process' as how one interprets a role, how one prepares, how one researches, also the mechanics of giving a performance, being backstage, reacting to the rest of the team & the audience, etc. The process can also mean working on one's body & voice so that one can use them to interpret a part.

Having stage parents that make millions off of you , having to travel across the globe just to be in a british t.v. show and then a few hours later travel to canada then newyork becase your parents booked an interview , there is no processes really it just saying what your told to and looking into the camra and getting paid alot of money it's basicly pretend to be someone eles for alittel while it can be fun sometimes but mostly tiering as my publasist says ''acting is not for the faint of heart '' and in everything you do you have come with it all the way no matter what and you will be greatily reworded for your work
