Overview

How does one become a master actor? How does an actor learn to live truthfully in imaginary circumstances, and give performances that consist of spontaneous, authentic, and even unconscious behavior? For the first time in history, science provides us with knowledge and diagnostic tools that allow us to explore the skills of acting in a way that was never possible before. For instance, The Actor's Blueprint (adapted from behavioral science models) deconstructs how humans live truthfully in everyday life, so you can learn to construct 'truthful living' in your performances. The Actor's Machine teaches actors to use their own natural behavior producing processes in order to experience the life of the character. The results of applying this knowledge have been proven over and over in the acting studio. Try the Directed Focus technique once, and you'll get immediate results. Practice it over time, you'll develop your imagination in very effective ways, and may change the way you experience acting forever. The Actor's Machine will give you the knowledge to get 'out of your head, ' and eliminate 'line readings' and stale predictable performances. Armed with simple principles of human behavior, actors cut their learning curves and discover new ways to work with themselves immediately. This book will help actors develop the mindset of a master actor right now. You can't send emails from a typewriter. Why not explore the most progressive approach to acting available today?
