7-12 year olds interested in acting need to know as much as they can before stepping into that first audition. This book gives them inside information and some of the best monologues you will find. This book from Chambers Stevens is awesome and my daughter loved all of the scenes. It's a great investment into future success.

If you have a kid who is getting into acting, or has some solid experience, then this book needs to be added to your collection. And not the "sit on the shelves" collection but the actual "read and underlined and write notes in the margin" collection. Great tips from an amazing acting coach who specializes in working with kids and teens, and this information is straight from the trenches.

I recommend this book as well as any of the other books that Chamber Stevens has written to assist young actors in honing their craft. My son Taylor Luke has been reading, memorizing and performing monologues from these books for 4 1/2 years. He continues to revisit the books as needed for audition prep as well as practice. Taylor has received many roles in independent Texas films over the last 3 years and I truly believe the books have helped my son grow in his profession.

Chambers knows youth and knows the business. His books are probably one of the best tools any young aspiring actor/actress can get. I highly recommend them all! I have had the pleasure of meeting him when he worked with my daughter, and I must say he is amazing at what he does. Why get tools/books written by anyone but the best, and Chambers is the best.
