Musical Theatre Review
«Extremely well-written and clear to follow … A must have for any actor’s bookshelf, and one that needs to be frequently revisited.»
West End Best Friend
«The classes with Ken at Guildhall, I consider to be the most important part of the acting training. They are exercises in patience, unpredictability and encouraging students to make utter fools of themselves – vital for any actor embarking on a life in the profession.»
Michelle Dockery
«Ken’s classes were some of the most interesting that I was lucky enough to attend at drama school. He opened the mind to what acting could be.»
Ewan McGregor
«Ken taught us to be dangerous, to abandon any sense of failure and to take risks – that’s where to find creativity. A lesson we can never stop learning.»
Orlando Bloom
«This book demystifies the art of acting and provides us with invaluable tools to stay active and keep going. Ultimately, it inspires us to take charge of our own destiny.»
Lily James
«When we think of our favourite actors, we are drawn to danger, risk, charisma, spontaneity, charm...Ken is a master at drawing these qualities out of you and teaching you to own them. He’s brilliant, and so is this book.»
