Synopsis
Acting Characters - 20 Essential Steps from Rehearsal to Performance
$23.99 Published by Methuen
Acting Characters is an introductory handbook for the aspiring actor, compiled of twenty steps grouped into six sections to help create, present and sustain a believable character
Fundamentally practical, the book avoids the heavy discussion of theory that often accompanies books on the subject, looking instead at the essentials of how to use different voices and body language to convey character
