The Outstanding Actor

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Written by someone who has a complete and utter grip on the nuances of the acting profession and whose main purpose in publishing such a book is to further the actor's understanding. The inclusion of links to videos showing in more detail what Ken is writing about is a brilliant addition and can only add to the reader's passion. * Musical Theatre Review * Extremely well-written and clear to follow ... A must have for any actor's bookshelf, and one that needs to be frequently revisited. * West End Best Friend * The classes with Ken at Guildhall, I consider to be the most important part of the acting training. They are exercises in patience, unpredictability and encouraging students to make utter fools of themselves - vital for any actor embarking on a life in the profession. * Michelle Dockery * Ken's classes were some of the most interesting that I was lucky enough to attend at drama school. He opened the mind to what acting could be. * Ewan McGregor * Ken taught us to be dangerous, to abandon any sense of failure and to take risks - that's where to find creativity. A lesson we can never stop learning. * Orlando Bloom * This book demystifies the art of acting and provides us with invaluable tools to stay active and keep going. Ultimately, it inspires us to take charge of our own destiny. * Lily James * When we think of our favourite actors, we are drawn to danger, risk, charisma, spontaneity, charm...Ken is a master at drawing these qualities out of you and teaching you to own them. He's brilliant, and so is this book. * Paapa Essiedu *
