5.0 out of 5 stars Clear up your mistaken ideas about acting!, May 10, 2001

By	William Donald "bill_donald" (Glenwood, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

The Stanislavski System: The Professional Training of an Actor has been the soul of my acting teaching for 30 years. It is based on the later evolved vision of the great master teacher, as revealed to Eugene Vakhtangov and also to Sonia Moore, herself a master teacher. The approach here is clear and usable, and de-mystifies American pre-occupation with emotional substitution techniques dominant since Lee Strasberg's distortions based only upon Stanislavski's early work. This approach is accessible for young actors and is encouraging to the nurturing of their talent and development. It encourages emotional honesty without being improperly invasive, so it is good resource material for public school acting teachers and advanced students, as well as acting students from college to conservatory to proprietary school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time to act!, July 25, 2000

By	Lisa Gansky "Book Lover" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book- much more simplified than any I've seen! It concentrates a lot on physical action, a definite necessity for budding actors (or old fogies trying to get back into it!). A pleasurable read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stanislavski System - S.Moore, October 26, 2009

By	James T. Matheny "tmath" (mississippi) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This is a great book. I have it as a required reading for my first year acting students. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a clear condensation of the Stanislavski system.
