The Actor's Checklist: Creating the Complete Character

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful in every way but the price tag
Review: An excellent workbook for experienced and beginning actors. Much more than a 'checklist', it can be used as a class textbook or a personal aid to creating the complete character. There's nothing new in here, just a very fine compilation of the best methods and techniques, logically arranged, complete with exercises for each section. This is definitely my favorite resource for my own acting work. The only disappointment is the price. I would like to make this the required text book for my adult students, but I feel the cost is too high. $12-$15 would be more appropriate.

Summary: Excellent, excellent, excellent
Review: I have read much of the literature on acting in print. If you want one book that spells it all out for you buy this book. If I had a choice of only one book on the subject The Actor's Checklist would be it, and I don't even know nor had I ever heard of the author before.
