Note: I am a theatre student and a complete theatre nerd to the MAX. I love acting and the art of acting is completely and utterly fascinating to me. This is a MUST read for anyone interested in being an actor. It's my favorite text I've had to read for my theatre classes thus far. It's not so much a "how to act" book, like Meisner and Stanislavski, its more of a "how do a revitalize my work" and "what do I do if I feel blocked and unproductive" book, as feeling that way is inevitable at times. There's lots of quirky anecdotes and digressions that keep it from feeling like a text book but it also has SO many words of wisdom that changed my view on acting completely. Also, I finished reading it on time. Lots of people in my class procrastinated to I'm gonna ace this quiz and that feels goooood :)
