About this listen

In this completely updated edition of her bestselling book, renowned acting coach Ivana Chubbuck shares her cutting-edge technique that has launched some of the most successful and lauded acting careers in Hollywood

Let the instructor who taught Halle Berry, Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, Jim Carrey, Aubrey Plaza, Travis Fimmel, Gal Gadot, Beyoncé Knowles, Judith Light, Sylvester Stallone, Eva Mendes, Morris Chestnut, Shia LaBeouf, and Jake Gyllenhaal guide you to dynamic and effective results. With new stories from notable stars she’s worked with since the first edition of The Power of the Actor and fresh exercises she’s incorporated to upgrade her time-tested 12 step program, this revised edition is a must-have for anyone looking to hone their craft.

The Chubbuck Technique takes the theories of acting masters such as Stanislavski, Strasberg, and Hagen to the next level by utilizing inner pain and emotions, not as an end in itself, but as a way to empower and fuel one’s ability to overcome and win and therefore drive a unique and powerful performance. The Power of the Actor is filled with fascinating and inspiring behind-the-scenes accounts of how actors, writers, and directors have mastered their craft and accomplished success in such a difficult and competitive field.

*This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of scripts, emotional diary examples, and the Practical Application section from the book
