Just a heads up! Trust me isn’t Clark’s directing debut! That was Choke, back in ‘08. It is, however, his sophomore directing effort, so you were close! :D

Thanks...I forgot about Choke!!

I met Chambers nearly five years ago, and he has helped me to work on my lifelong dream of acting through his coaching, books, and endless support. His incredible monologue books keep me practicing, and his support keeps me going!

My 11 year old daughter is the aspiring actress, but all my children have enjoyed reciting the monologues in these books.

I have used his books, I have been to the man's workshops. The man knows the craft and he knows the business. Acting is not an easy thing to undertake and it's hard to keep passionate from time to time. When you pick up a Chambers Stevens Monologue book I know you will find a enjoyable experience with each character and be refreshed by new material page after page. Whether you are a struggling actor in the Film scene of Los Angeles or a theatre club member at your local school, these books have something for you!

Chambers books are great for an any actor who is trying to explore their talents further. His monologues are amazing for auditioning, because he creates a wide range of characters to play around with. I find something new within myself as well as in the books every time I read from them!!!

Chambers Steven's books of monologues and scenes are great not just for auditions but for the everyday practice an actor needs. I use them constantly and would recommend them to everyone.
