In this follow up to his most famous book, An Actor Prepares, Stanislavski develop his influential 'system' of acting by exploring the imaginative processes at the heart of the actor's craft. Building a Character deals with the physical realisation of character on the stage through such tools as expressions, movement and speech. It is a book in which every theory is inextricably bound up with practice - a perfect handbook to the physical art of acting. The work of Stanislavski has inspired generations of actors and trainers and - available now in the Bloomsbury Revelations series to mark the 150th anniversary of Stanislavski's birth - it remains an essential read for actors and directors at all stages of their careers. Review: Every actor's guide - It is just so weird how this book touches a lot of parts where every actor at some point struggles. This book I feel should be made a 'must read' for every aspiring actor out there. And also it's other parts. Review: Bible for Actors - Being a student of Barry John, I loved this book to the core, so many questions I had in mind and this book has answered them all.

Every actor's guide
It is just so weird how this book touches a lot of parts where every actor at some point struggles. This book I feel should be made a 'must read' for every aspiring actor out there. And also it's other parts.

Great material
Covers precisely the aspects of character building. Though many aspects cannot be learned, only it can be improvised through sequential practice.

Basics of acting, by the master
This second of three basic works by Konstantin Stanislavski, helps provide the student today with fundamentals in "approaching a part", "building a character", and "creating a role". These ABCs of how to formulate and act a role in drama are absolutely essential knowledge for anybody wishing to embark on the profession of stage acting, or anyone involved in this work, at whatever level of skill and experience.

Like An Actor Prepares, but more technical
Like the first of the trilogy, "An Actor Prepares", "Building a Character" is really illuminating (Less than the first on the "mind" side of the actor-character, 'cause you've studied it with the first book), but has chapters with technical elements (Voice, body movement and exercise for this). Anyway, it's a small thing in the ILLUMINATION that gives... :)

身体面・精神面を中心に書いた第二作目
元々スタニスラフスキーは彼の演劇論や演技論・俳優訓練法を三冊にして出版する予定でしたが、最後の作は未完になりました。「俳優修業－第一部－」が一冊目。「－第二部－」が二冊目ということになります。 やはり読まれるのは圧倒的に一冊目が多く、しかも有名な専門用語の紹介が含まれています。でも、気をつけなければいけないのは、この一冊目だけでスタニスラフスキーを判断してしまうことです。 一冊目は主に心理面・精神面について書いています。二冊目は主に身体面・役作りについて書いています。この両者が密接に合わさってこそ、スタニスラフスキーの考えが理解できるのです。 ですから、第一部と合わせて、揃えておいてください。
