Sanford Meisner on Acting

Very easy to read, it takes you through as though you are a student observing his classes and shares meisner’s activities and ideas in this way

Great perspective on acting. A must read for anyone not just potential actors

This is a damn good read, BUT i would rather recommend you read Jerimiah Comeys book on meisners method than this one. It will take you more trough what the acting is, while this book is more about how meisners classes was and how he was as a teacher.

Great book for an insight into the craft of acting

Research.

If you're new to the acting scene, this book is a must-read. The Meisner technique is referenced in many acting courses, and this book gives you an in-depth look at the technique as well as the reasoning behind it.

Sydney explains and describes the lessons that Sanford Meisner had with his students. As a Meisner student I found this book as a good introduction to my classes, however I think book although very good is not enough to learn practice technique and it's best just to find a teacher who is Meisner trained.

Got to recommend this book purely because I was stuck using the method of actioning training in the second year of uni. This has opened my eyes to what acting is about, being realistic and truthful. It gives an insight of what Meisner teaches and his method of how to prepare for any scene as an actor. Definitely using his method from now on!
