"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 Marasco found that most acting books were either outdated classics that were rarely read, or quasi-textbooks that actors only "skimmed."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.

Helpful and practical accent training
What made the experience of listening to Access Accents the most enjoyable?
A mixture of coaching, listening to an actor being trained and source recordings. Thankfully you get the practice sentences in a printable pdf too so you don't miss out by not having the CD.
