THE WORK OF AN ACTORMichael Woolson on Technique
Michael Woolson
The Work of an Actor sets a new industry standard that provides reference tools like no other. As a result, it delivers a wealth of clear, detailed instructions and inspiration for giving unforgettably captivating performances for actors of all levels. With more than twenty years of experience in acting, coaching, anddirecting, Michael Woolson not only shares the essential foundation and mechanics of acting in a clear and concise manner but he also demystifies sitcom technique, playing a killer, creating authentic fear, making senseof bad direction, auditioning effectively, and building layered character work. Plus, he introduces the most extensive chapter ever written on how to give believable drug-induced performances without drugs as well as the first-ever list of great dialects in films to use as research. Woolson has worked with thousands of artists from talented up-and-comers to award-winning actors and is one of the most prominent and respected acting coaches in Los Angeles. He recently finished work on the soon-to-be-released film True Grit, starring Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon, directed by the Coen Brothers, and produced by Scott Rudin and Steven Spielberg.

EMOTION ON DEMANDAn Actor’s Workbook for Mastering Emotional Triggers
Michael Woolson
In film, television, and theater, scripts often demand that actors reach intense emotional places. Great actors know how to person-alize these emotions. They make them real, they make them specific, and they make us remember them. Emotion on Demand demys-tifies the process by breaking it down into a simple straightforward technique. For the first time in an acting book, artists are given the opportunity to improve their emotional intelli-gence with extensive exercises and a format for writing down important details and discoveries. After twenty years of experience in acting, teaching, and directing, Michael Woolson takes us into his classroom where he challenges us to connect, ascend, and ignite our passion for the craft. He founded The Michael Woolson Studio in 1998 and also is the author of The Work of an Actor. Woolson has worked with thousands of actors from talented up-and- comers to award-winning actors and is one of the most prominent and respected acting coaches in Los Angeles.
