Great book! Should be manadatory reading for actors!
All I can say is "Wow!"I had no idea actors had this much stuff to think about in addition to acting!An awful lot of what Ms. Gray and Ms. Purl had to say never would have occurred to me.Of course, I amnot an actor and am not aspiring to be an actor, but I do find that I amfascinated by all that actors have to do and put up with.The call sheetalone... holy cow!I can see a good 16 hour course on that piece of paperalone! Like I said, I'm no actor, but I can see "Act Right"should be mandatory reading for anyone who wants to act.Anyone who doeswill only save themselves a lot of embarrassment and keep from looking toomuch like a newbie on the set.I guess what I'm taking too long to try tosay is:"GREAT BOOK!"

The perfect 'manual' for new as well as seasoned actors!
Whether you are just starting in the business or have been around, this book is a must read!It contains everything you would ever want to knowabout acting but were afraid to ask.Mara and Erin have captured a way ofsharing their knowledge and experience in this book that will become everyactor's must-have manual!A must read!!!

A source of aid and inspiration
"Act Right" is a wonderful guide for anyone wanting to break into the industry and I applaud you for giving today's generation and those to come a source of aid and inspiration while following their dreams.Bravo!

Real-life knowledge for the actor
"What I like the most about this book is the anecdotal and real-life knowledge it provides.In acting school I was taught how to hit a mark but not how to relate to a crew."

Know what it means to hit your mark?If not - read this!
As a professional Director of Photography for "Friends," "Mad About You," and at least thirty other Sit-Coms (but whose counting?), I've seen it ALL from behind the camera.I can tellimmediately who knows their way around a set - and who doesn't.There'snothing more frustrating than trying to work with an actor who may know hisor her lines - but doesn't know how to hit their mark!You don't want tomake your mistakes here - on a professional set.If I can tell you don'tknow what you're doing, so can the producers - the ones who hire you.Doyour homework!The only way a new actor starting out can get an advantage,is to read "Act Right" by Erin Gray and Mara Purl. If you'reserious about working in this business - as a beginner, or as a returningpro - this book is a MUST READ.Got it?Get it!! ... Read more
