Reader Reviews
You're bound to deeply appreciate this book. Tim McDonough has a intelligent and clear-eyed approach to speeches and monologues. What is good about it: he's a no-nonsense writer, stressing clarity above all else. He has a deceptively simple understanding of how acting relates to storytelling that is truly wise, unique and fascinating. This book will provide experienced and greenhand actors alike with a solid, grounded basis for digging into the plummiest of narrative speeches. It would be an eye-opener for an actor, a director or a teacher of these crafts. For young actors -- or anyone looking to focus and improve their audition pieces -- this book will be your bible. Get your hands on it quick.
