One incredible gem of knowledge after another!,
By scalise@shadow.net - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Secrets of Screen Acting (Hardcover)
During my first read through my jaw kept dropping as I came to understand how little I know about screen acting, even at my low level of experience. This book did more to open my eyes to the virtually hidden peculiarities and demands of acting for the screen than anything I've ever read. The pages of review sheets at the back are worth the price of the book. The style is readable and the author speaks with the authority of experience. I'm sure that this will turn out to be the best investment I've made in my fledgling career as a film actor. I'm going to give this book to my closest actor-friends. I can't think of a better way to show how much I value them. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful
