Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that actors who have too much formal training in acting can end up looking like they are just "acting" instead of being natural and authentic. The idea is that excessive training can make an actor's performance seem overly rehearsed or forced, rather than genuine and spontaneous. The quote implies that the best actors are able to tap into their natural talent and instincts, without relying too heavily on formal training techniques.
