Reader ReviewsI really like this book. It really breaks down the idea that acting is simple and easy and can be done without work or self reflection. I like that the book tells young actors that you must give of yourself and know yourself in order to truly act believably on stage. It is a great book to start with and get the kids thinking and looking inward before you get them to work outward. I have also taught with Silverberg's books on Meisner and the exercises are also very good and work well in a high school setting.
