Who are you?, 25 Oct 2000
By Andrew Barron - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creating a Character: Physical Approach to Acting (Paperback)
Once the voice has done its job, how does the body go on from there? How can we make our characters as real as we can? Every actor asks these questions of themself, but there's one question that Yakim asks about every character--Who are they? Boiled down? In two words, even? This book defines the different types of characters as basic archetypes, or "selves": The Vulnerable Self, The Trusting Self, The Instinctive Self. It then goes on to list ways of developing these Selves from a purely physical standpoint. I have only used parts of this book in developing some of my characters, and already, I feel more confident about my presence on stage. I believe myself now, and that's the hardest audience to convince.

Excellent text for Acting class, 8 Feb 2011
By D. D. Reasons "Actress Extroidinaire" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creating a Character: Physical Approach to Acting (Paperback)
I have been searching for a year to find a suitable text for my Movement Training for the Stage course I teach at a College in Dallas. This is perhaps the third book I have purchased from Amazon for this purpose and by far my favorite. The reading is easy to understand and the exercises are set up for an acting class or for the students to do on their own. I started reading the book yesterday while at the gym and could picture the exercises in my head- so they are not complicated by any means. I will update this review as soon as I finish the book!

So this is what they do at Juilliard, 14 Aug 2002
By Trista - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creating a Character: Physical Approach to Acting (Paperback)
I loved reading this book but I failed it. I couldn't get through the first exercise. I can't go around for a whole week emphasizing my biggest physical flaw. I have auditions to ruin with my acting, God forbid my looks. There's got to be a milder version of Moni's Vulnerable Self exercise. Anyone know him and can ask? I'd love to get to the cloud exercise.
Listmania!
