Question: What are some good acting books!?
I'm going to the bookstore soon- what are some good acting books you suggest I read!? I've been acting for about 5 years, but you can never read too many books about your favorite thing!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Uta Hagen's books - there are two about Stella Adler's work - Acting Shakespeare by John Gielgud - my favorite is The Actor and the Text by Cicely Berry - In My Mind's Eye by Michael Redgrave - Letters from an Actor by William Redfield - There are some interesting things in Sanford Meisner on Acting - Michael Chekhov's book on acting is good - you know about Actors on Acting I'm sure - good luck, there's a ton out there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
