Actor, director, and playwright Breese (Christopher Newport U., Virginia) does not aspire to teach people how to act, but takes an artist-mentoring-artist approach to suggesting how students
can become good actors by sharing his own thoughts and experiences. Looking in turn at the actor’s work and the actor’s toolbox, he discusses such aspects as being an actor, obstacle, public
isolation, intimacy, repetition, script analysis, voice and speech, character, and rehearsal. He appends a short one-act play. There is no index. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
