A must-read for Actors
A while ago, I purchased this book: The Actor’s Field Guide: Acting Notes on the Run. It is by far, one of the most helpful books I’ve picked up in ages. The book is designed so that you can either read it cover-to-cover, or carry it with you and just let it fall open when you need a helpful thought. Its got great things to say about everything, from auditioning, to acting with a partner, to rehearsals, to dealing with the audience, to the business itself. Everything in the book makes perfect sense, and for the most part, its all common sense. But, sometimes, actors forget these things, and its always good to have the reminder. These are the kind of things that you read, smack your head and just say “of course!”.
I’ve been carrying the book with me for the last week, and every so often I open the book, and read one of the things it says, and every time, I think to myself “that’s something to file away for future reference”.
I highly recommend the book for any actor.
