True Acting Tips: A Path to Aliveness, Freedom, Passion and Vitality
True Acting Tips leads stage and screen actors on a journey of passion, intimacy, and personal investment. This isn't to say that there will not be heavy demands and a high cost, but ultimately, this book is designed to offer the clarity and encouragement to become an actor who makes a difference in the lives of the audience members.
“True Acting” is not a reproduction of anything that has come before and True Acting Tips is not a book concerned primarily with the technical demands of acting. Instead, it is an in-depth examination and invitation to see and experience acting as a momentous burst of creation – new, surprising, and deeply human. It includes inspirational quotes, more than 200 acting tips, and images that reveal a powerful philosophy to assist in the most difficult moments.
Reading this book, actors will find the joy of true communion with their acting partners and, through this encounter, give the audience an uplifting experience by reminding them that we are all, in fact, human beings.

Acting is one of those disciplines where the artists forget the basic lessons all too often. //True Acting Tips// gives an actor some great tips on how to act and how to live. Based on the blog written by Larry Silverberg, the book covers not only the basics of acting, but tells an actor how to become a better actor. There are also bits of advice on how to become a better person as well. The book doesn’t promise that you will become a better, but it is a good start.
This is an ideal book for someone who can’t sit down for long reading pleasure material. Each chapter is short enough to read in a few minutes, and it’s just big enough to fit in a purse or book bag. The book is a great read; each chapter has some good advice followed by a fun quote. Although the graphics may be a bit annoying, they fit the book’s tone rather well. This is a book that you will likely read, and then either put where you can easily reach it, or pass it on to someone you see having problems with the craft.
