From Library Journal
Like all professions, acting has its own special vocabulary. Its terminology continues to evolve, and with this book, actors, students, directors, and playwrights will have access to clear definitions of the words and phrases they will need to know and use regularly. Everything from accents and dialects to verse technique is defined. A single sentence followed by a detailed explanation, often with an example, comprises each entry. Selected words appearing in capital letters are cross references to their own definitions in the book. The author has been involved in theater for over 25 years and currently teaches acting in New York. His highly useful reference book will be of value to anyone interested in drama.

Reader Reviews
My acting teacher, Broadway's Sondra Lee, can stop raving about this book. It's easy to understand why. It's superbly user-friendly and very specific. It's a wonderfully lluminating book for all actors to own and cherish. Comment | | (Report this)
