The best acting book BDJ recommended me and the best acting book I’ve read so far. It does exactly what it sets out to do. In the words of the foreword, it asks you to “pretend [acting’s] not mysterious and poetic …pretend it’s more like designing a toaster.” And the little quirks like the typos and the fact that one chapter is included twice make you feel like you’re getting to know Jon Jory as a teacher and a person along the way.
