Product Description
Actors who want to get inside the script and make it come alive now have a step-by-step guide from a Broadway director and renowned acting teacher. Honed by the authorís 35 years of teaching, this advanced book offers different warm-up exercises concentrating on the actorís sense of smell, sound, sight, and touch; sensory tools for conveying the climate and environment of the text; tips for suggesting a characterís physical conditions; and much more. Individual exercises will help actors to free the voice and body, create a character, find the action and condition of scenes, and explore the subconscious for effective emotional recall. Readers will also find meticulous guidelines for best using rehearsal time and preparing for in-class scene work. The foreword is written by two-time Academy Award nominee Edward Norton. Those who act, direct, or teach will not want to miss the acting lessons that have made T. Schreiber Studio a premier actor training program.
About the Author
As the founder of T. Schreiber Studio in New York City, Terry Schreiber has taught thousands of actors since 1969. He has directed Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, including the Tony-nominated K-2.
Terry has also taken his love and talent for the craft beyond T.S.S. and the bright lights of Broadway by producing and directing numerous Off-Off-Broadway shows; contributing as director at regional theaters throughout the United States; mounting six productions in Tokyo, Japan; and conducting workshops around the world.
Recently, he concluded The Pinter Project to rave reviews. He received special permission from Harold Pinterto to present two of the renowned playwright's most famous plays, The Birthday Party and The Homecoming, in rotating repertory. Terry lives in New York City.
Acting: Advanced Techniques for the Actor, Director, and Teacher was completed with the help of Mary Beth Barber, who started her writing career as a political journalist, working for magazines, newspapers, and e-zines such as California Journal and OffOffOff, among others.
As an actress and playwright, she has been on stages in Sacramento, San Francisco, and New York; her play Minha Rosa was produced at the New York International Fringe Festival in 1999; and her shorter plays have been read and shown in New York and California. Mary Beth is also the recipient of the prestigious Hopwood Award for short story and the Dennis McIntyre award for playwriting from the University of Michigan, her alma mater.
Most recently, Mary Beth worked for California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on his event-planning team, and is currently the Director of Communications for the California Arts Council.

Lessons from a true master!, July 29 2010
By John Tague - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: ACTING: ADVANCED TECHNIQUES (Paperback)
I was a student of Terry's from 1992 to 2000 so this review might be somewhat biased but who cares. This book is a must read for anyone who is seriously interested in taking their acting skills to greater levels. In my own personal experience I can vouch for everything that is taught in this book. I did every exercise mentioned in the book under Terry's personal guidance and I have applied the techniques and methods in many professional circumstances. I have been a profesional actor who has worked on television and film in both New York and Hollywood for close to twenty years now. If followed carefully the exercises in this book will open up the inner life that an actor needs to make characters and scenes come to vivid life. I really can't say enough great things about Terry. I think he is a treasure in the acting/theatre world and I am so grateful that he has written this book because I live in Hollywood now and having the book feels like he is right there with me. Thanks Terry! You are a true master!

Impressive, July 10 2005
By Julia - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: ACTING: ADVANCED TECHNIQUES (Paperback)
As an actress, in reading this book I was amazed at not only how well the book was written or at the way in which the author communicated his knowledge to the reader, but I was astounded at how honest and open the works embedded in this new book are. I recomend this book to actors, teachers, or anyone interested in learning the truth about acting.
