Jesse Vint's Acting Class - Portland, Oregon

 A book for the moviegoers, too.

I could hardly put this book down. It all seemed to me the exposition of good, usable, sensible, pertinent---and most of all simple---concepts. Your Handbook is certainly a very clear setting out of the actor's basics. What's more I am not a film actor or ever intend to be one; but as a writer, I found much to consider in your book that is helpful. I thought your little book was well written, clear and amusing---a delight to read and the rouser of advantageous thoughts.

A path to character creation.

To the point approach without a lot of fluff to make the book longer. The Film Actors Handbook is a step by step approach to creating a character that is not only believable, but makes you care about them. The writers experience with acting comes out. An effective process is detailed with the dynamic approach to acting described.

Smart, clear and brilliant.

This book carefully and simply explains method acting, with plenty of examples and stories. Jesse's many years of experiences shine through as he teaches you how to develop your skills as an actor. It's a concise, quick read that gets to the heart of the matter.

The Film Actor's Handbook Review

Vint's book is far and away the most clear, concise book about acting that I've read so far -- even clearer than Michael Caine's, which I loved. It's also a fun read. I read it straight through and laughed out loud constantly. My best friend loved it also, and she's not even an actress. This book is both entertaining and informative. Awesome book! 5 stars
