Book Description

4 Oct 2001
Craig's search for the "raw" truth of a character is evoked in his rehearsal diary and he writes about the crisis of doubt which struck him during his award-winning year. He offers practical hints on all aspects of the actor's craft such as audition technique, breathing and making funny noises.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Actor's Life for Me 20 May 2002
Format:Paperback
Being a bit of an am-dram myself, i bought this book to give me a few tips and pointers. It certainly gave me plenty. And reassurance too! I have been labouring under the misapprehension that I spit on my fellow actors; Mr Craig has put me right, and my 'actoplasm' can now flow with abandon.
A seriously entertaining read for all those who enjoy actors, acting and seeing pomposity pricked.
Excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bloody brilliant darling 16 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
Okay, so it's been out before, okay, so I am biased and he's a bloody good mate, but lovely Nigel has really done a damn fine job of updating the whole shebang. I know lovely Chrissy Douglas had a hand in it, behind the scene's as t'wer, but you can feel Nigel's influence on every page. At last, someone who's prepared to be honest about how much bloody hard work we actors do darling.
I laughed until I puked, and then suddenly, a cruel mirror was turned at me and I shuddered, was I really an actor after all?
Brilliant, should be read by everyone who's ever been near a theatre, an actor or even, frankly, if you've just watched a bit of telly.
This is what it's really like.
