PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Daniel Dresner is a leading UK acting coach. He regularly teaches at the Actors Centre and drama schools as well as coaching privately. His clients range from actors starting out to Hollywood stars. His approach has been developed over more than 20 years as an actor, director, teacher and life coach in London, New York and Tokyo. He studied the Method at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in New York and life coaching with the Coaches Training Institute.
Daniel Dresner sets out to offer the student of film acting valuable support both as a fledgling artist and as a person in his book A Life-Coaching Approach to Screen Acting. I can report that he succeeds ... A Life-Coaching Approach to Screen Acting is an excellent guide to truly important fundamental life skills. Life skills such as identifying your values, understanding what fulfillment means to you, how to avoid Imposter Syndrome, how to avoid perfectionism, are grouped with 'knowing yourself,' which most film people would call 'knowing your type' in the first part ... These subjects are treated carefully and well, and then backed up with plenty of exercises. They are also reinforced with links to brief, pithy learning videos created with The Actors Centre. You can read about the work, do the exercise yourself, and watch Daniel Dresner work with students on the same material. This all adds up to an excellent resource for developing confidence in oneself and in the work. It also makes it easy to see why Daniel Dresner is considered a top private acting coach and teacher. * Theatre Library Association * Know Thyself proclaims the entrance to the Temple of Apollo at Delphi and Be Thyself responds Oscar Wilde, many centuries later. It is with masterful insight that Daniel Dresner connects these simple but profound directives and brilliantly draws his revelatory parallel with well-being and the craft of screen acting. * Philip Wolff - Head of screen acting at the International School of Screen Acting * This original and timely book introduces the benefits of life-coaching to the stressful and uncertain lives of many actors, especially those who perform on a screen. * Michael Ferguson - television producer, director scriptwriter and teacher * This book not only transformed my approach to acting, it transformed my approach to life. Full of refreshing techniques that allowed me to simply get out of my own way and truly be the very best I can be. Written in a way that is extremely easy to take in and apply, a powerful tool that I will be using on every project I'm involved with. * Daniel de Bourg, actor, singer and songwriter *
