Paperback (304 pages) A comprehensive guide to winning by enhancing acting skills.

This text is not a typical shake-and-bake manual of quickie tips on how to do a good audition. No other book puts auditioning in the context of acting training. The nuts and bolts are all here, but this book will do much more. It will develop audition and acting skills in a systematic way over time, throughout the actor's study and career. This book is first and foremost an acting text. It shows auditioning as another kind of acting performance, not a technical exercise or desperate attempt to highlight every skill or talent the actor possesses. It is a step-by-step guide for training young actors to audition well by developing acting skills. Includes more than sixty relevent acting exercises or 'explorations,' as well as fourteen sample audition pieces from contemporary playwrights and a wealth of other resource material. An all-encompassing audition text.

Features monologues from: BOOM by Julie Salverson and Patti Fraser, SALMONBERRY by Cornelia Hoogland, TURTLE ISLAND BLUES by William Borden, DUCK BLIND bt Shirley Barrie, MINOR LEAGUES by Gustavo Ott, BEING ALIVE (the song) by Stephen Sondheim, PEE PIPE by Sandra Dempsey and many more.
