Not much help, although it does give an interesting overview. Frank, however, I learned more from the people in the group I joined (we do simulated old-time radio shows, sound effects and all, before live audiences) than I did from this book.
This is an introductory acting book that leads the actor into the world of play. This is one of the first steps of the Stanislavski method, as well as many others. I would recommend to as an introductory book
Robert Benedetti is one of the most respected teachers of the art of acting in America today. In The Actor in You, Benedetti lays out 16 lessons describing the theory in understandable terms, exercises the reader can do to enhance his or her acting skills, and, especially the second edition, several useful skits and portions of plays to illustate the principles. I have used this book as a text while teaching Acting at the college level and highly recommend it.
I'm using this book for my acting class, I've only read one chapter, its not a heavy load. People interested in acting, and looking for a beginners guide into a more in depth knowledge of acting (not only tips but philosophical... well not really,, but people looking for stuff to think about as well) I would recommend this book.
Textbook was worthwhile and helped with scene study. I am beginning actor.
This book is needed for class and was cheaper then the bookstore. The book was interest, and will look up the next edition, and/or related to. A second view and/or assist with sign language.
This book gives you hear tips on how to become a great and successful actor. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to become an actor and is taking classes to become one.
