Coming to Terms with Acting: An Instructive Glossary-What You Need to Know to Understand It Discuss It Deal with It and Do It
Like all professions, acting has its own special vocabulary. Its terminology continues to evolve, and with this book, actors, students, directors, and playwrights will have access to clear definitions of the words and phrases they will need to know and use regularly. Everything from accents and dialects to verse technique is defined. A single sentence followed by a detailed explanation, often with an example, comprises each entry. Selected words appearing in capital letters are cross references to their own definitions in the book. The author has been involved in theater for over 25 years and currently teaches acting in New York. His highly useful reference book will be of value to anyone interested in drama.- Howard E.
