The Power of the Actor: The Chubbuck Technique

The first book from the leading coach and teacher to the stars, whose client roster has included Brad Pitt (Academy Award nominee), Charlize Theron (Academy Award winner), Djimon Honsou (Academy Award nominee), Elizabeth Shue (Academy Award nominee) and Halle Berry (Academy Award winner). The Power of the Actor guides the reader to dynamic and effective results. For many of today's major talents, the Chubbuck Technique is the first choice - the leading edge of acting for the 21st century. Previous generations of actors were steeped in the teaching traditions of Stanislavski, Meisner and Strasberg. Taking the theories of these masters into a new realm of psychological and behavioral study, industry veteran Ivana Chubbuck has developed a curriculum that moves acting to the next step: how to utilize the inner pain and emotions, not as an end in itself, but as a way to drive and win a goal. The result recreates human behavior in it's most fundamentally accurate and compelling form, taking the reader to the source of what motivates real behavior.

In addition to her powerful twelve-step process for becoming and living a character, The Power of the Actor:

* Includes fascinating behind-the-scenes accounts of how countless celebrities mastered their craft, offering a trove of tidbits that are inspiring for actors, writer, directors and fans alike.

* Takes classic and contemporary scripts from film, television and theater, and comprehensively breaks them down using Ivanaís script analysis process.

* Provides sections on special acting tools and exercises on how to organically feel drunk or high; creating organic fear; how to organically feel the mindset of a killer; and creating sexual chemistry.
