Also Great For Writers!

I’m constantly telling neophyte writers to examine their craft through the lens of other storytelling media. And this book contains some real gems for character behavior. Actors, after all, embody the characters they portray. Judith Weston’s insights for guiding directors to better understand the actor’s process, her tips and methods, can be very useful for writers who can appreciate looking through the other end of the telescope to gain distance, as well as objectivity.

A great view into directing

Judith Wilson has a frank and in-depth discussion about all things related to directing. Her desire to enable actors, and more importantly to protect the characters in the script, is insightful and brings great clarity to the role of Director.

Highly recommend. I LOVE this book

What a gem, learned so much about actor/director relationship. Great book for Actors to read as well as directors.

Great Listen!!

Love it! There are a ton lessons to be learned here in this audio book.

Opened my eyes and ears.

Gave me a better understanding of the relationship between Directors and Actors, and the tools in which to facilitate the process.

Every Director. Every Actor.

Every Director and Every Actor should read this book and listen to her Audible. Cheers!

Wished I had the physical book!!

Great read! There are a lot of great tips and experiences. It was great that there were examples of actors/actresses of when ideas were applicable.

The Indispensable resource for all directors.

An incredibly insightful and masterful resource and a must-read for all directors who want to succeed in cinematic storytelling.

Directing Humans

As a technically and visually minded creator, this book has been unbelievably insightful into the heart, soul, and humanity of filmmaking. While this is just a first step in learning how to direct actors, after this book I feel confident enough to start making mistakes.

This book changed my life.

I read the book ten years ago and decided to hear the audio version as a refresher and boy am I glad I did it.
If you want to direct or have been directing and want to change things up this is a must listen.
Thank you Judith 🙏😊
