Synopsis:

From a veteran actor, teacher, and author, here is a quick-reference guide aimed at working actors. Got a funny scene that doesn't seem very funny? Look up "comedy." Got a scene in which you're supposed to cry? Look up "cry." Each entry includes a brief introduction to the topic, followed by several pages of short, bulleted tips or "field notes" that offer quick solutions to any acting problem. In addition, there are brief essays throughout that expand on some of the trickier aspects of the actor's craft. Edgy, concise, and infinitely helpful, no working actor will want to be without this one-of-a-kind guide.




• There are 100,000 members in actors unions in the US, with a 50% turnover

• Unique quick reference guide for busy actors

• Advice on everything from rehersals to auditioning and memorizing lines

• Author has trained thousands of actors, including Heather Locklear and Teri Hatcher

• Advertising in Back Stage magazine
