Larry's book on auditioning...

Wonderful! A must have for the beginning actor who is possibly struggling to find a deeper truth in what makes for stellar monologue performance and discovery. Rick Ashmun Seattle, Washington

Perfect for High School Classrooms

I have used Mr. Silverberg's techniques for years--ever since he first published his Sanford Meisner series (also fabulous). This is the best book for working theory into practicality that I have found. I'd recommend it to any high school/college level teacher who needs a refreshing new approach to monologue development.

good, but read Larry's workbook series

I read Larry Silverberg's "The Meisner Approach" series (4 books) before I read this book. This book applies and gives a shorthand of the techniques covered much more clearly in the series. If you only have money for one book, buy this, but know that it will leave you hungry for more. Still, it is head and shoulders above just about all of the revered and completely nonsensical acting books out there that I know you've read and wondered, "Am I the only fool who doesn't get this?"
