Steve Cleberg provides a short and sweet version to line learning with his 3/3/3 method. He also delves into topics on your subconscious, common crutches we have all heard in the rehearsal room, and basics of acting expanded upon in his companion book. Steve does a wonderful job of providing this technique while, simultaneously, reminding us that there is no one correct way.
