INSIDE INK
By John Rowell BOOK LEARNIN’ A fantastic new book has just crossed my desk that I must tell you about. It’s called Acting For Young Actors: The Ultimate Teen Guide, and performers and acting students and teachers of all ages and at all levels will want to grab a copy ASAP. Written by two extremely multi-talented ladies, Mary Lou Belli (an Emmy Award-winning director of such television shows as Eve and Saved by the Bell) and acclaimed stage/TV/film actress Dinah Lenney (who for many seasons played Nurse Shirley on NBC’s legendary ER), Acting for Young Actors offers practical, indispensable and deeply insightful advice on both the craft and the business of acting (something few books have managed to accomplish, in my experience.) Instructive, imaginative and fun to read, the book features words-to-act-and-audition-by from a wide variety of performers, directors, casting directors, teachers and agents. I couldn’t earmark pages fast enough to note all the excellent suggestions and wise counsel I was finding between the covers. Don’t miss this one, folks; go get it, you’ll thank me – and you’ll thank Mary Lou and Dinah, too. | | |
