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.......

With Stanislavski there is a good book by David Magarshak which contains commentary as well as translations from his works. I think it's out of print though.
Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing.
