Acting techniques

Theater veteran and acting teacher Joanna Merlin has written the definitive guide

to auditioning for stage and screen, bringing to it a valuable dual perspective.

She has spent her career on both sides of the auditioning process, both as an award-winning

casting director who has worked with Harold Prince, Bernard Bertolucci, and James

Ivory, and as an accomplished actor herself.

In this highly informative and accessible

book, Merlin provides everything the actor needs to achieve self-confidence and artistic

honesty-from the most basic practical tips to an in-depth framework for preparing

a part. Filled with advice from the most esteemed people in the business, such as

James Lapine, Nora Ephron, and Stephen Sondheim, and charged with tremendous wisdom

and compassion, this indispensable resource will arm the reader to face an actor's

greatest challenge- getting the part.
