Working Actors make instinctual choices that are dead on, this is why they are working actors. Often these same actors in a teaching position lack the ability to articulate the process. Many don't posses a concrete vocabulary to share with their students that specifically describes what it is they do as a working Actor to bring about those dynamic, believable qualities for the Stage and Screen. This is the beauty of THE SCENE STUDY BOOK. Miller's text provides a clear and systematic approach to what is far too often an ephemeral art-form. Like any good map it shows the actor how to get to the desired destination, especially if that destination is the truth of a moment, a unit or a scene. There are many ways to get to this place (as we all know), but a good map is invaluable! This is especially true if you are going somewhere within the bounds of the human experience. I have been teaching Acting to Conservatory and Bachelor of Arts students at the undergraduate and graduate level for years and the "Roadmap To Success" should be in the backpack or hands of every would-be-actor in American.
Mr Miller has written a soup to nuts guide for the actor in training and on the job. This book details with clarity, simplicity, brevity, and humor the acting process involved in all aspects of scene study. Unlike the typical general guidelines given in most acting texts,The Scene Study Book guides the actor through the entire scene study process step by step. I highly recommend it!
"The Scene Study Book: Roadmap to Success" by Bruce Miller is a valuable scene analysis tool for the serious actor. Although at times I found it to be somewhat condescending to the young actor, it is filled with practical advice for both the beginning and experienced actor with a clear and practical approach to breaking down a script, choosing strong choices and actions that serve the story, and techniques for the all important skill of listening. In addition, it gives a concise summary of the evolution of various schools of acting that I found illuminating. I would recommend this book to any student of acting.
