Actings Books! What to read?
Sun, 10 Sept 2006, 06:33 pmI would like to purchase 2 or 3 books on acting. When I say acting I mean the craft of acting
rather than a book on how to get an audition or break into Holywood. I would like to read the Canonical, the great, the one that everyone should read book on acting.
For example I have heard that 'Sanford Meisner on Acting' is a great book.
Your thoughts? Recomendations.......

An Actor Prepares by Constantin Stanislavski (but take only what you want from this book, do not rely solely on it)
How To Stop Acting by Harold Guskin
Being An Actor by Simon Callow
If there's any books by Sanford Meisner or Stella Adler, I would also recommend checking them out.
You can learn much, much more from a teacher but if books are what you're after, that's my advice. Good luck :)
