Training of the American Actor

Ha ayudado mucho a mi hijo en su aprendizaje como actor

I most definately would like to reccommend this qualitative, thoughtful and useful book for drama teachers and directors worldwide. It is useful!

Having worked directly with some of these wonderful people who write and feature in "Training of the American Actor" this book was a wonderful way to soldify my own ideas about the process and practice of acting and where it has evolved from. It is a wonderful tool for any actor, writer or director to have as the expoloration of creative practice through the years gives a complete picture and an understanding of the American theatre industry and the growth and ideas of the forebears of performance.

Excellent collection of acting theories. Complete survey of American acting styles.

At last, an overview of the techniques that founded American acting!! A godsend to the student and teacher, with thorough analysis of Meisner, Adler, Strasberg, and others who "wrote the book" on America's adaptation of Stanislavski's theories and practices. A must-have for every theatre practitioner!

Great overview. I especially appreciated the chapter on the Meisner Technique. It's one of the most accurate and concise summaries I've read.

This is a great read for aspiring acting teachers.
