Very interesting to read, lots of great exercises. Good detail on the how's and why's of how acting works, and the structure of a dramatic presentation. Recommended.

I bought this book for my Acting I class at the college i go to and it is very helpful. It's a great beginner book. Not all of it, but some.

Although the book was listed as used, it actually looks new and unused and is a great value for its low price. Delivery service was very timely.

The Actor in You introduces aspiring actors to beginning acting by helping them realize and develop the basic acting skills they already possess and hone them for the stage. By drawing the principles of acting from observations about everyday behavior, the author shows acting students how they already possess many acting skills. Acclaimed for its direct and enjoyable writing style, The Actor in You draws on exercises and examples from well-known plays, and popular television programs to lead the beginning student through the process of creating a role. Revised based on user reviews, the book succeeds in deducing dramatic principles from those experiences and then applying them to everyday life for artistic purpose.
