Loving to Audition: The Audition Workbook for Actors (Career Development Series)

Rating:
Summary: Perfect for High School Classrooms
Review: I have used Mr. Silverberg's techniques for years--ever since he first published his Sanford Meisner series (also fabulous). This is the best book for working theory into practicality that I have found. I'd recommend it to any high school/college level teacher who needs a refreshing new approach to monologue development.

Rating:
Summary: good, but read Larry's workbook series
Review: I read Larry Silverberg's "The Meisner Approach" series (4 books) before I read this book. This book applies and gives a shorthand of the techniques covered much more clearly in the series. If you only have money for one book, buy this, but know that it will leave you hungry for more. Still, it is head and shoulders above just about all of the revered and completely nonsensical acting books out there that I know you've read and wondered, "Am I the only fool who doesn't get this?"
