I 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.......

Michael Checkov "To The Actor' But you can't learn from a book. You need a teacher and when you get into the industry you need a mentor. 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. www.tonymoore.id.au
