STAGE METHOD Best Acting Practices for Fame on the Stage is an excellent book for actor's just getting started out in theater, as well as a valuable resource for those who've been performing for years. STAGE METHOD is also a beneficial handbook for actors living in urban parts of the country, where community theaters may abound but industry-level acting training is not readily available.
"I've endeavored to make STAGE METHOD an enjoyable read, accentuated with wit and smart humor winking from the sidelines of the lessons. I am confident you will come away having learned a thing or two from my book - a few inventive performance tips, a handful of methods for taking command of the stage, a sampling of secrets. I genuinely believe it deserves a place on any actor's book shelf."
