There are so many great acting technique books out there - because the techniques doesn't apply to everyone!. Some might find one way better than the other to work with!.!.!.!.

Personally, I would recommend:

"A Challenge for the Actor" by Uta Hagen (Uta Hagen Technique)
"Acting for the Camera" by Tony Barr (for TV/Film Acting)

I also keep a book list on my blog!.!.!. If you want, you can check it out at:

ONe of my favorites is called- No acting please! Its a book that helps you live, not act while being a character

here's some advice pick roles that appeal to you dont pick anything out of the blue pick stuff that interest you and material you wont be bored with!. when acting try to take on all aspects of the character yoou are playing and inncoporate them daily until you have finished the part!. when i did sweeney todd i talked in a britsh accent everyday all the time ( i drove my parents nuts ! lol) dedicate yourself fully to the character!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
