By Marina Caldarone, Maggie Lloyd-williams. They cannot 'act' adjectives, they need verbs: they need an aim to achieve, an action to perform. 'Actions' are active verbs. '. I tempt you.'. In order to perform an action truthfully and therefore convincingly, an actor needs to find exactly the right action to suit that particular situation and that particular line.

About this product

Product Information

A vital companion for actors in rehearsal - a thesaurus of action-words to revitalise performance, with a foreword by Terry Johnson. Finding the right action is an essential part of the process of preparation for the actor. Using this thesaurus of active verbs, the actor can refine the action-word until s/he hits exactly the right one to help make the action come alive. The method of 'actioning' is widely used in rehearsal rooms, but has never before been set down in a systematic and comprehensive way. 'If you want to act, or act better, Actions will take you a long way on the journey to excellence' Terry Johnson

Good tips for both actors and writers
This book gives you lots of places to explore when you’re searching around for a concept that you can’t quite grasp. Word to the wise: buy the hard copy. I got the Kindle version first but it isn’t easy to navigate so I bought the hard copy.
