5.0 out of 5 stars Every actor and public speaker ought to read this book., December 5, 1998

By A Customer

Stage fright comes with the turf when you speak or perform in public, and I see actors struggling with it all the time in my acting classes. Eric Maisel has done a great service with "Fearless Presenting", the first book I have EVER read that addresses the subject of stage fright so methodically and fully. It is not only an enlightening book, but is empowering. I recommend it highly.

I have often had to speak in front of large groups of people and it terrified me. I really feel that this book helped me to understand my problem and then helped me to lose my fear. Very insightful and interesting.
