  • “Simply put, I don’t think I would’ve found my voice as an actor without David.” — Scott Speedman, actor

    Act has the roadmap for the most crucial task of an actor: getting present.” — Shawn Doyle, actor

    A lively, conversational textbook dedicated to the art of acting from a master teacher.

    Act: The Modern Actor’s Handbook is the result of 30 years of one of North America’s most renowned acting teachers teaching some of the world's most talented screen actors. This is a full tour through the concepts at the heart of Rotenberg’s techniques: states of being, primaries and secondaries, images that you elaborate up or distill down, modifiers, actions and beats, and more. Although his methods loosely draw on the great acting teachers like Hagen and Meisner back to Stanislavski, he teaches new techniques suited to the best of today’s screen actors. This is a major new work in the actor’s library and will be pulled off the shelf time and again to find that key into a scene, to prepare for an audition, or to find that right technique to make the art come alive again.

“The expanse of his character development and insight on storytelling is invaluable. He provides terminology and structure for things I intuitively feel that give solid guideposts when lifting a character off the page. David explores the musicality, status and relationship, primary/secondary states, Drone Notes, time, environment, and backstory to add depth and truth that is both relatable and captivating.” — Erin Karpluk, actor

“When I am looking for an acting coach for my clients, I always know that I can trust David Rotenberg to help them bring out their very best performance. With his direction and guidance, they are able to find their voice and bring depth and layers to their performance. Often helping them to win the job!” — Jennifer Goldhar, agent
