Excellence for Actors

Do you want to achieve your full potential as an actor?

Discover how to apply “deliberate practice”–a type of practice used by top performers around the world–to turn your weaknesses into strengths.

We all know that becoming a great actor requires hard work, but what specific actions will help you get better?

Perhaps you have spent years taking acting classes without any noticeable improvement.

Or maybe your acting did improve for a while, but you don’t know how to make further progress.

This lack of clarity is likely to lead to dissatisfaction and a decline in your enthusiasm for the craft.

After all, nobody goes into acting aiming for mediocrity.

If this sounds familiar, psychology can help.

For many years, psychologists have been studying the process by which those dedicated to their craft achieve mastery.

The biggest reveal of this exploration has been “deliberate practice,” a process through which you can turn your weaknesses into strengths.

The impact of deliberate practice has been demonstrated by a wide variety of top performers, including athletes, musicians, and chess masters.

Excellence for Actors is the first book to explore the application of deliberate practice to acting. Reading this book will provide you with a new level of clarity about how to reach your full potential.

As you will learn, achieving excellence is not just about hard work, but also about taking the right actions with the right amount of dedication.
