The Actor's Guide to Creating a Character

Bill Esper's successful first book, The Actor's Art and Craft, presented the basics taught in his famous first-year acting class. This sequel--which can also stand alone--follows a fictional class of students through his second-year course, which focuses on character acting.
     Esper builds on Sanford Meisner's legendary exercises as developed through his own decades of experience training a host of distinguished actors. Co-author Damon DiMarco spent a year observing Esper's class, and through his eyes we vividly experience the progression of the exercises and see how they work in practice. The technique Esper teaches is flexible enough to apply to any challenge, from soap operas to Shakespeare, helping actors learn to create characters with truthful and compelling inner lives.
