An Actor Prepares

De: Constantin Stanislavski

Narrado por: Mike Fraser

One of the most inspired and inspiring manifestos of our art that I know. (Richard Monette, Stratford artistic director)

Constantin Stanislavski (1863-1938), arguably the most influential director in the history of the theater, was the founder of the renowned Moscow Art Theater. A pioneer of psychological realism and improvisation on the stage, he devoted his life to developing the performance techniques now emulated throughout the world.

In this first-ever audio edition of his classic work, Stanislavski's simple exercises fire the imagination, and help listeners not only discover their own conception of reality but how to reproduce it as well. An Actor Prepares is brilliantly narrated by Mike Fraser.

Critical listening for aspiring actors

The audio book is engaging and entertaining…and the material is essential for understanding the theoretical underpinnings for modern acting technique. Anyone interested in the craft and technique of acting will find this immensely valuable.

Boring but valuable

Boring but valuable. Hard to get through because of how comforting the narrators voice is.
