Synopsis
Sanford Meisner was one of the best known and beloved teachers of acting in the country. This book follows one of his acting classes for fifteen months, beginning with the most rudimentary exercises and ending with affecting and polished scenes from contemporary American plays. Written in collaboration with Dennis Longwell, it is essential reading for beginning and professional actors alike. Throughout these pages Meisner is a delight-always empathizing with his students and urging them onward, provoking emotion, laughter, and growing technical mastery from his charges. With an introduction by Sydney Pollack, director of Out of Africa and Tootsie , who worked with Meisner for five years. "This book should be read by anyone who wants to act or even appreciate what acting involves. Like Meisner's way of teaching, it is the straight goods."-Arthur Miller, Sanford Meisner was one of the best known and beloved teachers of acting in the country.

    An essential for every actor

    Every actor - or aspiring actor - needs this on their bookshelf. This book follows a class of students taught by Meisner himself, and his teachings speak volume about the craft. So far, I’m only one-quarter in, and I’ve already learned so much. One thing an actor will learn through reading this? One of the hardest things is to be “simple”. I’d highly suggest this to all actors.

    You Get What You Pay For

    I purposefully bought a used book to save money and that is exactly what I got. I was expecting it to be slightly better quality but I don’t need a new, clean book. It is marked up, so make sure, if you want a clean copy, to check. It’s a good book!
