The first thing that struck me is the excellent structure and graphics of this book. Clear and easy to follow. The information within is self explaining and very useful even to skilled stage artists, since one has often to find his own practical solutions at the rehearsals and in the performances. It is also useful to teachers who like to offer practical solutions to the students, so that their path becomes easier in the future. Bravo!
Excellent
