Building a Character

Hey, it's very important to know who the books are translated by. When adding books to the site to buy could you please mention it!

If you are a director or an actor and wish to develop a character, this is a time tested tome to learn from. The Stanislavski methods are tried and true!

This book is very resourceful and informative. It teaches you the true method of the acting craft.

I thought I knew what I was doing on the stage. I knew my lines, I didn't bump into the furniture, what else is there to know? Borrowed this book from a friend and it completely transformed me and everything I thought I knew about acting. Turns out I only thought I knew what I was doing.

This book is the second in Stanislavski's series. Deals with the "external aspects" of the System. A great read, in spite of the poor translation; this book (and the entire series) completely transformed my acting almost overnight, as if a fog had lifted from my eyes. This book/series helped me understand, fundamentally, what I should be DOING onstage. I received numerous compliments on the next role I played after reading this book and several comments on my improvement, etc. Great advice for actors. Strongly recommended for both actors and directors.

This book is acting in biblical proportions and is a must for all serious actors!
