### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inimitable
*by S***Y on November 17, 2024*

One of the finest acting books I’ve ever read. It’s a necessary read! And it’s the second book from Dimarco & Esper.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lightening Strikes Twice
*by M***T on May 18, 2015*

William Esper and Damon DiMarco have done it again! After reading the collaboration's first book (The Actor's Art and Craft) on the first year of Esper's acting training program (primarily developed out of Esper's training with the renowned teacher Sanford Meisner as well as his own experiences) I was eager to read the sequel. I was very excited to read this book about the second year of Esper's training which addresses a Meisner approach to character acting. The book touches on period and style, acting for the camera, physical impediments, pain, and more! If you enjoyed The Actor's Art and Craft this book is a nessecary follow-up. If you haven't read The Actor's Art and Craft stop reading this review, navigate over to that page, order yourself a copy, and get to reading it asap! This book has really expanded and clarified my understanding of the Meisner technique and challenged me in my thinking about acting as a whole. As an actor, these two books are two of the best acting books I've ever read! To actors interested in creating truthful behavior, living in the moment, making real contact with the other actors in the scene, and succeding in roles with challenging characteristics: READ THIS BOOK! To anyone interested in acting or acting training: READ THIS BOOK! To anyone who's read this review to the end: READ THIS BOOK!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best overview of second year Meisner work.
*by J***Y on July 9, 2020*

In Meisner, it’s you plus a point of view. Esper’s first book (and Meisner’s own book on acting) was about building you as an actor and artist (first year). This book is about building the character’s point of view and adding it to you (second year). No other book touches upon second year work of Meisner. William Esper was a wonderful teacher in his own right and had his own innovations to the Meisner technique.
