Overview
Imitating Life frames a comprehensive process for achieving realism in the world of modern acting. Matt has spent the last decade building his craft as an actor and he has managed to organize the results of his endlessly evolving experience in 7 streamlined and thought-provoking chapters. Not only does the book navigate through the fundamentals of script and character analysis, but it also scaffolds a philosophical study of the general nature of humanity. Special attention is paid to the understanding and building of character dimensions as well as to the application of relevant and useful acting exercises. Written in an easily comprehensible style, Imitating Life serves to provoke questions and thoughts that will allow new actors and veterans alike to stimulate growth within their respective crafts. Furthermore, because the subject matter is rooted in the observation of human behavior, readers interested in the social sciences may also find the book to be inviting.
