The book includes "Special Stuff" -- seven remarkably useful tools unfamiliar to most actors. They will enable you to instantly create the emotions of your choice, think spontaneously as the character instead of for the character, and discover the character's physicality, personality, and essence. Secret Magic Stuff for Actors will open a world of possibilities.
