This book really taught me a lot. I am a student who is studying acting, hoping to one day be on stage in New York, however have always struggled with how to practice. It's easy for me when I'm with other people and under the stage lights to concentrate on different aspects of my acting, however when those outside things aren't there and I'm at home, I don't rehearse in a way that is most productive. This book has given me many ideas from how to read the script to making the character my own to what to do in front of directors and cameras. I highly suggest everyone to buy this book...there are always things that can be learned, even when you think you have it already!

Really, it's about time a book came out to help me--a stage actor who does film and TV and struggles to deliver good performances without rehearsal. This book offers a great framework and wisdom about the craft of acting.
