Acting: Advanced Techniques for the Actor, Director, and Teacher

by Terry Schreiber with Mary Beth Barber

Actors who want to get inside the script and make it come alive now have a step-by-step guide from a Broadway director and renowned acting teacher. Honed by the author�s 35 years of teaching, this advanced book offers different warm-up exercises concentrating on the actor�s sense of smell, sound, sight, and touch; sensory tools for conveying the climate and environment of the text; tips for suggesting a character�s physical conditions; and much more. Individual exercises will help actors to free the voice and body, create a character, find the action and condition of scenes, and explore the subconscious for effective emotional recall. Readers will also find meticulous guidelines for best using rehearsal time and preparing for in-class scene work. The foreword is written by two-time Academy Award nominee Edward Norton. Those who act, direct, or teach will not want to miss the acting lessons that have made T. Schreiber Studio a premier actor training program.

Reviews

�Terry Schreiber has not written a do-it-yourself book for actors. Instead, he has studied the techniques of other great teachers�Strasberg, Meisner, Stella Adler, Bobby Lewis�blending their work along with his own to free the actor to follow his or her instincts. A most valuable resource.�
�Emmy winner and Golden Globenominee Eli Wallach, and Tony Award nominee Anne Jackson

�Terry Schreiber is an intelligent and intuitive teacher. His passion for the theater is truly inspirational and is surpassed only by his love of the craft of acting. I highly recommend him as a teacher.�
�Emmy and Golden Globe winner Mary-Louise Parker

�This fine book�written by a master teacher who has devoted his life to the study and craft of American acting�will be a resource of wonder and excitement not only for those Terry Schreiber wrote it for, but also for everyone interested in the theater in our time and in the future. You will want to keep this book with you and share it with your colleagues and friends.�
�Tony Award winner Marian Seldes

�Terry Schreiber is one of the great master director/teachers in the acting business. His book speaks with the compassion for humanity that has been the hallmark of his work as one of New York City�s best acting instructors.�
�Tony Award winner Betty Buckley
