Overview

Fear, Empathy, and Inspiration. These three elements are tied to the most common roadblocks actors face. Through exercises, anecdotes, and Scripture, Acting in Faith: A Christian's Guide to the Acting Worldoffers a Biblical roadmap to a great performance. It guides actors through the audition, rehearsal, and performance periods, and addresses work ethic and the art of drawing professional boundaries. It is a source of encouragement and guidance for actors who are looking to draw parallels between the entertainment industry and Biblical Christianity. Acting in Faith is the perfect companion for other technique books like: The Stanislavsky System and The Actor's Art and Craft.
