Publisher's Synopsis
An actor straddles two worlds in which he is not completely accepted in either. This is a Chicano actor's journey to become the best actor he can be and what it takes to achieve that goal. In the end, wisdom is achieved through failure. Now the Actor shares that wisdom with aspiring actors. What does it take to become the best actor one can be. This is a book for an Actor looking to push themselves in their craft or to grow to the next level of discipline in their acting journey. To make them feel not so alone and a reminder that when you are not acting, there is plenty to work to be done. For the Director it is a glimpse into what it is like to be on the other side of being directed. Are you collaborating with the Actor or are you treating them as a "meat puppet". For the Coach or Instructor, are you giving critiques or criticisms to your students? Check in with your leadership style; are your students depleted or inspired?
