I first became aware of Amy Lyndon about two years ago when I discovered her book online.
I had been going through a bit of a rough patch in my own auditions and just felt disconnected and a bit adrift, sad to say. I knew that I could get the ship righted with some good coaching and I soon discovered The Lyndon Technique – 15 Guideline Map To Booking.

Was the material in this book revolutionary or something I’d never heard of or pondered on my own? Never figured out for myself over the past thirty-five years? I can’t say it was. After all, we’ve all trained and we’ve taken that training and adapted to how we work best. Hummm….or do we? What about our ‘shortcuts’ and bad habits that might develop and grow along the way?
One thing to get out of the way up front. The Lyndon Technique – 15 Guideline Map To Booking is much, much more than some simple list of audition tips for actors.
To be sure there are ‘tips’ built into Amy Lyndon’s book and her coaching. But ‘tips’ doesn’t quite seem to do justice to what she has going on.
"The actor must approach acting like an Olympic athlete. The more you practice the necessary skills, the more you will book. When a high level of discipline and concentration."
One bit of advice I’d offer when reading the book and putting these concepts into practice is this: Amy Lyndon is teaching a BOOKING technique. This is not a process oriented approach to ACTING. She is very clear about that in the book. However, the artist in you, fellow actor, may balk at this idea.
I encourage you to listen to this podcast and then, if you think this is something that has value for you, then purchase the book. Read it. Follow the guidelines. See how your experiences ‘in the room’ might change.

Great book for actors
I was recommended the Lyndon technique by a friend and I am thrilled I read it. It’s straight to the point and a great book to reference to for diving into a script. I hope to be able to take her class soon.

An indispensable book for every actor! As Amy herself will say, this is not a book about acting technique, it is about a booking technique. The 15 steps are set up to help you nail every audition. No matter how big -or how small- the part, no. matter how much time you are given, these steps are a game changing roadmap.
