A Book for Acting Called, "The Power of the Actor"

 This is a link to purchase the book used to guide actors on their journey. https://amzn.to/3Cfysmm 

I started acting classes at the Ivana Chubbuck studio in Los Angeles somewhere around 2009. Then I got back onto the carousel, so to speak, a few months ago because online classes are now being offered, making it great as a mother to practice the craft of acting. I don't know if it was magic or what it was, but after my last class at $200 a month, all of the sudden (or so it seemed), I was in an interview with the USC School of Dramatic Arts being told that if I were accepted into the program I would receive a $56,000 scholarship. 

Only 6 candidates are accepted every year for the acting part of the program. And for the dramatic writing program (which I was really interested in), only 2 candidates are accepted every year. This was the information I received at least. I cried because I thought it was a great opportunity. The program would be difficult for me to attend because my number one priority is being a mom and it's not a friendly schedule for the duties of motherhood. 

The Ivana Chubbuck studio classes, on the other hand, are with the online option. Being a teacher, and now a mom, I like to read books so the kids can fall in love with the story as it's intended. The author spends hundreds of hours preparing the story to be enjoyed. The Ivana Chubbuck acting classes are like being able to just open up and read an awesome book. There's not a boring introductory period. You get on the carousel and hopefully get a part, then get back on, etc. It's flexible and fun.
