Wanna Act? Learn Meisner. Period.

Actors and students everywhere: put down the imaginary coffee cup and GO somewhere TODAY and learn the Meisner Technique. If you do, you'll be better than the competition. Period. If you can't find a Meisner class in your area, or even if you can, GET LARRY SILVERBERG's "THE SANFORD MEISNER APPROACH" books. There are four books in the series. BUY THEM ALL. And they're workbooks, so work 'em. Then, hide 'em from all but your actor friends who respect the craft and deserve to work. Remember us little people when you hit the big time. One warning: rely on Meisner in your work, but don't talk about it. The premises of the technique aren't widely known, so the way we talk confuses people, even though what we DO is very straighforward. And be smart: keep some excuses handy for when the cast wants to play "trust games," or they want to sing the lines of Othello to "keep it fresh." Just quietly use what you know - the end result is worth it. Good luck and God bless your career!!

Great book.

It had me staring at the stars out of my window at night, listening to the crickets, and wondering, "what in the world am I doing with my life?"
