Book Reviews of An Actor Prepares
Book Review: This book is great, and without it, "there is no theatre."
Summary: 5 Stars
Konstantin Stanislavski wrote this book in the early 20th century, and his System, the "Method," has become the standard for acting. This nook describes that method, along with his other books "Creating a Role" And "Building a Character." If you want to act, read this book now, man!

This book really backgrounds & outlines the actor's process. It is a must-have for aspiring artists. Don't let the wordy, overly detailed prose discourage. For the valuable info if provides, it is worth it.Book Review: Very informmational, But be careful!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is considered to be "The Actors Bible." There are ways in this book to help portray some characters better. But following some of the steps for certian carachters can be deadly! Please use discretion when "Method Acting"Book Review: any performing artist should read this book...
Summary: 5 Stars
the magic 'if' can transform worlds for you...the grand Master Stanislavski in a rough interpretation brings you his mystery of acting..has any acting technique been more misrepresented then 'the method'? ..read how MR S wanted to reach actors, how they went about rehearsing...how they realized their most important job was being true to the playwrights words..much to Anton Chekov's delight..how they built layer upon layer of developing a character..I think this book will enhance any artist, hold magic over them and let them develop their own magic 'if'..what if I was a king? what if I was a world famous dancer? what if I can make any dream come true? what if?
