Resumen del Editor

"Do you have any notes for me?" Actors always ask for notes on their performance, and they will take them from just about anyone. Ron Marasco's Notes to an Actor grew out of the actor's profession. In his years as an actor, scholar, and teacher of acting, Mr. Marasco found that most acting books were either outdated classics that were rarely read, or quasi-textbooks that actors only "skimmed." So he developed Notes to an Actor, a compact, user-friendly audiobook geared specifically to the way actors work. The book is based on the innovative idea that notes, given one on one, are the essential tool of creative learning.

Insightful!

Very insightful and entertaining. I loved it. :)

I downloaded this to aid with character animation and even for that purpose there were some great things I learned.

The best book on acting - bar none!

I'm so glad I bought this audio book - it has been invaluable to me as an actor. Ron Marasco is an excellent teacher and I am so glad that he narrated this book instead on another voiceover artist because I feel some of his lessons would have been lost in translation had he not. Buy this book , learn from it, listen to it more than once, follow his advice- you will be doing yourself a favor.

Excellent content, but needs proofing

First off, excellent content, really insightful and useful information! 5 stars for content and author/narrator.
However, I can't believe this is an AUDIBLE STUDIOS production. there were MANY times where the narration was repeated, or misspoken and then corrected that weren't edited out. I am a narrator for audible books, and I cringe to hear this from the Audible team, who should be as capable at proofing their productions as the independent narrators. C'mon guys, this is a disservice to an excellent book. Fix it.

Excellent

One of the best books written on acting around. No self absorbed fluff that many acting books have. This is a very Practical, to the point book with tips and jewels for any aspiring actor.

Really useful and enjoyable

This was great and chock full of concise and precise advice (rhyming unintentional, but kudos to me, I guess?)...HOWEVER, there were many tiny editing mistakes which—while not necessarily detracting from my overall enjoyment—did occasionally make me wonder if I was losing my mind and/or experiencing deja-vu. I only mention it because I know (as a narrator myself) that that sort of thing can drive a certain kind of person crazy, so if you’re that person: be warned. If you can get past that, this book is a rich treasure-trove for the aspiring (or even working) actor.

Great!

It helped me understand some of the details of acting that other resources were lacking.

Exceptional. Essential

I hadn't gotten far in listening to this book read, and yet already I'd decided it was the best book on acting I'd ever come across. Gold from chapter one.

If you're an Actor or want to be... you'll love it

If you're an Actor or want to be... you'll love it.
You can put this advice to work, to be a better actor TODAY...

Excellent Book!!!

I first heard of Ron Marasco's book while listening to Leigh Foster's podcast "Action: The Pursuit of Acting Excellence," where Mr. Marasco, is a frequent guest on the show. The book is full of helpful information for the beginning actor, BUT I also believe the experienced actor would benefit from Mr Marasco's words.

Best acting book

This is the best book on acting I’ve read/listened to so far. Thanks Ron.
