The technique is used to develop improvisation skills as well as 'interpreting a script, and creating the specific physical characteristics of each character the actor played'.An example of a technique Meisner invented to train actors' responses is called the Repetition Exercise:'In this exercise, two actors sit across from each other and respond to each other through a repeated phrase. The phrase is about each other's behavior, and reflects what is going on between them in the moment, such as 'You look unhappy with me right now.' The way this phrase is said as it is repeated changes in meaning, tone and intensity to correspond with the behavior that each actor produces towards the other. Through this device, the actor stops thinking of what to say and do, and responds more freely and spontaneously, both physically and vocally.The exercise also eliminates line readings, since the way the actor speaks becomes coordinated with his behavioral response.'
