“When an actor cannot be heard it is because he does not want to be heard! It usually has to do with personal insecurity, fear of communication, inadequate preparation, or simply shyness.” Wow how dare this book call me out like that.
This is a difficult book to rate, because all the information is definitely very helpful and useful, and I would 100% recommend it. But yet at the same time this book is literally 34 pages of information, with the rest being monologues. So I’m not sure where I sit, I’m just going to give it five stars for the quality of the information as this really did help me out a lot with my monologue I was preparing. And the writing is very easy to read, not dry at all. In saying all this, I spent $2 on this book from a second hand store and didn’t pay the full price. I would recommend this book for sure, but it’s up to the buyer if they want to pay full price for 34 pages.
