5.0 out of 5 stars Pick Up and Read!, Jun 25 2003
By 
This review is from: A Practical Handbook for the Actor (Paperback)
Hi!

Right now I am reading books about the craft of acting. I am learning on my spare time at home about acting in general. This book it's a great tool for beginner or mature actors. I find this little book practical, honest and helpful. So pick up and read this book. You will be glad you did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and effective!, April 20 2003
By 
This review is from: A Practical Handbook for the Actor (Paperback)
This is simple straightforward book - I read it in less than two hours. It also details a tried-and-true acting technique. Most of the concepts discussed in this book were not new ones to me, but I've never seen them as concisely and well-expressed as here.

But as the book warns, don't close your mind to other techniques. There is merit in other schools of acting, though they are not always obvious at first sight. And above all, to become a good actor, you need to commit yourself and put in the effort. You're not going to become a Meyrl Streep overnight.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the teacher and the student alike, July 9 2002
By 
"ssgoffard" (Sarasota, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Practical Handbook for the Actor (Paperback)
I've been an acting student in several settings (high school, university, amateur) and a theater teacher/director in a private high school.

I had the privilege of studying under one of the contributors of this book, Scott Zigler - and have used this book long after my university days were over.

This short, concise, easy-to-implement acting guide transformed acting from an awkward, synthetic emotional experience into a tangibly real, physical action. I HIGHLY recommend this text for anyone involved in theater performance, direction, or production. Bravo, Melissa Bruder and others!
