Actions: The Actors' Thesaurus

this is really a Thesaurus - variations on emotional words for analysis. There is no text describing anything futher here. Incidentally, there is no "wry" listed.

So well laid out. If I can't think of a word to start with, I can go to a category. I'm terrible at naming verbs, so it really is my acting bible. Seller shipped it fast and it arrived ahead of predicted delivery time for a script I was working on

For the actor who likes to work with actions, this is a book to tuck into your bag you take to class or to rehearsal or to the set and never leave it at home. It provides the perfect companion to help you plot actions accurately and with colour and punch. A great way to expand your repertoire and to make more interesting choices.

I'm a writer, not an actor, but I found this thesaurus amazing. It's different from a regular thesaurus which is basically word replacement. It's so helpful in imagining actions and putting them into unique words.

This is a good, and somewhat unusual, resource for writers. I purchased this as a gift for my wife who is a poet. She says it is a great resource and uses it to help think of words for her poems; sometimes an unexpected word can trigger a new line of thought that proves productive.
