5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent primer for actors,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Actor Performs (Paperback)
I find this book incredibly practical and useful for my work as a performer. It gives me a clear way of working to get to the heart of a character, from the fabulous autodrama exercise, to use of language, to objective then subjective reading of the text. It's also funny.
