*by W***. on 22 January 2021*

Unser Dozent auf der Schauspielschule hat uns dieses Büchlein empfohlen und es war wirklich sehr hilfreich. Gut unterteilt in verschiedenen Kapiteln, welche die einzelnen Abschnitte des Schauspielers am Set aber auch am Theater erklären, wobei es aber mehr um Techniken und Methoden geht, als den Alltag am Set oder auf der Bühne. Auch wenn das Buch auf englisch geschrieben ist, ist es recht verständlich und es wiederholen sich die Themen öfter, somit kann man es leichter aufnehmen und vertiefen. Was es angenehm und leichter macht, ist dass es immer wieder Beispiele zu den Methoden gibt, die das Ganze nochmals besser veranschaulichen. Für jeden Interessierten oder angehenden Schauspieler/in geeignet.
