Overview
The book is designed to be an introduction to various theater training
methodologies, highlighting their basic tenets and comparing and
contrasting each system of training and rehearsal. The goal is to
provide a one-stop-shopping kind of resource for student/beginning
actors who are seeking training through private studios or graduate
schools and who crave guidance in selecting training that is right for
them.
Starting with the big question of “Why is actor training
important?” and moving on to overviews of the major acting
methodologies, vocal training, physical actor training, and advice on
how to find the right kind of training for each individual, A Field Guide to Actor Training is an essential resource for the student actor.
