5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must-have book for anyone serious about acting, 25 Jun 1998

By A Customer

You will NOT read this book and come away a brilliant actor. Then again, no book can do that for you. You can only learn by doing, either in class or in a performance. With that in mind, this book is packed with incredible insights, some that are basic tips for the beginner, and others that will only be appreciated after years of performing and multiple readings. Sanford Meisner, one of the members of the famed Group Theatre in the 1920's, was one of American theatre's gems, and sitting in on a course of his, through this book, is the only way to capture some of that magic. A "must-have" for any serious actor's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and exhilarating!, 8 Feb 1999

By A Customer

Unlike Stanislavsky's "emotional recall," Meisner's approach is much more effective. Having been trained under Mr. Meisner's method, my confidence and emotional accessibility has increased 100%. In short, I've accepted his creed, "to live truthfully under the imaginary circumstances of the theater," as my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant., 14 Jun 1997

By A Customer

Acting is about doing. It's not an intellectual theory without practice and this book clearly shows the actor that simple and brilliant truth. Do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best read for REAL Meisner students
When you're in the training, read this. Otherwise you just won't get it. And as Sandy says, it takes 20 years to become and actor. Some book ain't gonna do it for you. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Meisner's technique is not right for everyone.
Of course, no single acting technique can be right for every aspiring performer, but I must say that I personally found Meisner's book to be condescending and ineffective. Read more
