Script Analysis Workbook: with Character and Scene Analysis

By D Ostrowski

20 years ago I landed (what I then assumed to be) the role of my life. I was entirely unprepared on the inside and cocky and proud on the outside too afraid to share any fear or insecurities. When I opened my script and read it a few times (like "they" say we should) I realized I was out of my depth and likely to fail. I was just a rooky after all with little more than a handful of acting classes under my belt. So...I did a very smart thing...I turned to a friend who had just finished her Associates degree in Theater Arts and she game me the most important tidbit of knowledge I've learned to date. Do a script analysis! Do an in-depth character analysis! Take your scenes apart step by step and do a scene analysis. WHAT? I had no clue what that was or how it could help me so I was off to the library. The library wasn't any help at all so off to the bookstore! At the bookstore I found a dusty old ignored paperback giving minimal instruction and a bunch of nonsense that would do little to help me...and I couldn't write in it! What good is a script analysis that I could not take notes in! So I found myself a niche and decided to perfect my version of a script analysis that helped me not only land roles in the future. It helped me to be a better actor with a deeper knowledge and understanding of not only the role I landed but also the storyline in general. I've since given up acting and the spotlight for the director's chair and a family but anytime I have a budding actress that is struggling with her or his role I give her one of these books....they always thank me. I think you will too.
