Acting and How to Be Good at It: The Second Edition
"The book goes beyond the typical and lightweight suggestions that pepper slighter texts, digging deep into familiar concepts ... And it's in the details that the precise, highly literate Hoffman creates a book that reads like an attention-grabbing dissertation on a fascinating subject. He treats acting with a seriousness and respect it isn't often afforded ... It's obvious he knows his stuff." --Back Stage and Back Stage West<br /><br />"Basil Hoffman writes about acting from the inside of then craft in a practical, clear way, without mumbo-jumbo or mystique." --Sydney Pollack, Academy Award-winning director<br /><br />"I well remember our one show together and hope the fates bring us back together again one of these days." --Delbert Mann, Academy Award-winning director<br /><br />"It is a wonderful feeling to trust an actor so completely." --Robert Redford, Academy Award-winning director<br /><br />"The incomparable character actor Basil Hoffman is unforgettable." --Los Angeles Times
