Reviews
A MUST read for new actors. A SHOULD read for the rest of us. (Tom Cowley, director, actor.) He certainly puts the corn where the mules can get it. (Lynn Nelson, director, Board Member of The American Association of Community Theatres.) For 40 years I've watched Jim work with actors using the techniques in this book. He achieves amazing results. (Cathie Weir, actress, director and author.) I love this book! I read an early draft, went to an audition, applied what I had just read, and got cast in the role I wanted. ( Krista Angelique, actress, choreographer and educator.) With over 60 years experience, Jim's expertise has helped first time actors give award-winning performances. This book will help beginners and professionals improve their craft. (Merrie Wycoff, former producer of TV's Entertainment Tonight, author and artist.) I want to do well when I take the stage and I find this book immensely practical and immediately to the point on key things. You can read it in the morning and apply it on stage that night. (Sue Brightman, community theatre actress, author, President of Brightman Glover International Consulting.) Love this book! The most important take away for me is STOP ACTING. How these words have validated, instructed and honed my skills as an actor and as a director. Thank you, Jim. (Nancy Eppert, director, actress, educator, Board Member of AACT)
