kick ass book

this book is one of the best i've read on the subject of acting. that's because it actually discusses acting and the auditioning process (not how to find an agent and further ones career)it focuses on the craft, not the career. also shurtloff includes interesting and sometimes comical antedotes from his career and the careers of other succesful people in show business(such as barbara streisand and deniro)in these stories he talks about mistakes he's made as well as strategies which worked effectively. there are also sections which show how to break down a scene and properly analyze whats going on. he does this buy showing conversations betweeen teachers and auditioners with actors. you should definatley by this book if you want to read something interesting that doesnt tell you the best way to find an apt in LA, good luck

Another must-have book for all actors

This is an excellent book for actors. Simply put, it is on of the few book that is a must have. However, if you are serious about making acting a career like I am, then you must also get "Auditioning: An Actor-Friendly Guide." It is packed with information as to what we screw up on in auditions, whether it is our nerves, memory, stage fright,(which could be tied into nerves, depending on your point of view) or other problems we constantly face at that dreaded time. There are strategies inside this Bible for actors that helps us conquer the audition process. It is full of advice from auditors who have years of experience in the field. Their advice has made me learn so much that I am confident I will conquer my next audition. GET THIS BOOK!
