Publisher's Synopsis
This book organizes authentic acting into four basic keys: Commit, Be Present, Relax, and Communicate. While they are simple and organic to brilliant acting, they are not easily achieved. This small book delineates them, explains them, and gives vital tips on how to achieve them. As an acting technique and teaching tool, they are unique. E. Katherine Kerr, an award-winning actress, brought 30 years of experience on the stage, film, and television to a creation of classes and workshops unlike anything known before. The book is as personal, humorous, and full of compassion as Kerr is. Mike Nichols called her ..".a brilliant actress. It is not surprising that her method of teaching acting is as alive and plugged into human behavior as are her portrayals of characters you would swear have just been brought into the room from their real lives. It is very rare to find a great teacher of acting who both has the gift and the craft to be able to pass it on."
