Reviews
Business professionals who want to brush up their speaking skills should not be deterred if they feel they have no acting talent. Even professional actors do not rely on talent alone, acknowledge Deb Gottesman and Buzz Mauro (coauthors of The Interview Rehearsal Book) in Taking Center Stage: Masterful Public Speaking Using Acting Skills You Never Knew You Had. As directors of Center Stage Communications, a consulting firm specializing in applying acting techniques to the business world, Gottesman and Mauro present serious advice on such issues as defining and clarifying objectives and overcoming stage fright.

Fear of public speaking is so well documented that comedian Jerry Seinfeld once remarked that most would rather be in the casket than delivering the eulogy. The standard remedy is to rehearse, which, to most nonprofessional public speakers, is akin to jumping from the proverbial frying pan. Yet there is a new and considerably improved solution, as eloquently explained by Gottesman and Mauro: think like the theatrical world, both playwright and actor. Deliberately and thoughtfully, they lead readers through every stage of speechifying: destroying the "you gotta have talent" myth, defining objectives, choosing actions, exploring dramatic possibilities, connecting to the audience, practicing warm-ups, and final rehearsals. Exercises are supported by quotes from some of the best in the dramatic biz, from Alfred Hitchcock to Meryl Streep. Barbara Jacobs
