I had the pleasure of having Bruce Miller as my acting teacher in college. Although at the time I didn't use this text very often. This book has seriously become my bible for breaking down scripts and characters since graduation. I highly recommend this for every actor out there!

the book that requires more than just a read. The exercise and the reference are great for someone who wants to indulge into the art of acting.
