Summary: 5 Stars
This book is written for the reader. When i read it i feel like a small child looking out at the ocean. Although i feel reading it is only the first stage practice being the second and equally important.Book Review: Absolutely essential read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an absolute MUST READ for all actors. I am convinced that no-one should be allowed on stage until they have read this book.
Stanislavski's ideas form the basis of most modern acting techniques, as well they should. Before I studied Stanislavski, I had always felt there was something lacking in my acting and could never quite figure out what; I discovered it when I studied Stanislavski.
My one complaint is that the translation is bad. The translator was NOT an actor, and many cuts were made to the original text. This has resulted in many confusions about what Stanislavski actually said.
Book Review: Academy Award Winners use this Method
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a concept driven book written in story form--interesting. This is not a cookie cutter book of meaningless impersonal nonverbal tricks to portray real characters. It's a great gift for aspiring actors.Book Review: Acting
Summary: 5 Stars
One word... Unbelieveable. This book opened up my perspectives and understanding in dozens of new ways. Brought my acting up many levels in depth and made me aware of many acting tools that I had been underutilizing. Loved how he got into the head of actor - and this many years later, how many of my thoughts matched that of his students. Appreciated how he dissected those thoughts and subsequent acting exercises to pull the mental curtains open a foot each time I read a new chapter. The incremental exposure to the psychology of a character and infusion of truthful acting helped me understand, probably for the first time, how much goes into the craft of acting. I am excited to read the other books in the series.
