Oh, Of course!!!!

General Books on how to start, maintain, and be successful with your Acting career (this is if you want to learn the Business of Acting):

Acting as a Business -Brian O'Neil
An Agent Tells All - Tony Martinez
Self-Management for Actors - Bonnie Gillespie
Audition - Michael Shurtleff


IF you are in Los Angeles area, or planning to start an Acting career in Hollywood, then this book is a MUST read:

Acting is Everything - Judy Kerr

The following books are Books on Techniques!. But I would suggest not to get these book until you start your Acting class!. The Theater Department probably has its own selected Text Book for the students!.

A Challenge For the Actor - Uta Hagen (Uta Hagen Technique)
Sanford Meisner on Acting - Sandford Meisner (Meisner Technique)
Stella Adler: The Art of Acting - Howard Kissel and Stella Adler (Stella Adler Technique)
A Dream of Passion: The Development of the Method - Lee Strasberg (Method Acting)
On the Technique of Acting - Michael Chekhov
An Actor Prepares - Constantin Stanislavski (Stanislavski System)
No Acting Please - Eric Morris

Theatre Doc on this board also have a book "The Tao of Acting, Mentoring for the Aspiring Actor" you might want to contact him if you're interested!.

Thanks, Wayne for the plug!. Wayne's list is good for both the aspiring actor and the acting historian!. There are more, of course and they really need to be separated between those that are really helpful and those that are historical documents, like Strasberg and Stanislavsky's books!. It would help to know where you are going to college and why you are majoring in theatre!. Let me know and I will offer you what help I can!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

go to the library!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
