Review Quotes
"Craig Archibald is not only a deeply gifted teacher of acting, but a deeply affecting writer with personal stories to tell and urgent lessons to be learned. Whether you're a young actor just starting out or a veteran who needs reminding of what's beautiful and profound about the life you've chosen, you will treasure this book."
"The first time I ever directed actors was in Craig's class. He gave me not only the tools I needed to speak to actors, but demystified the craft of the actor/director collaboration in such a way that before I knew it, I felt at home. This important book contains the secrets he shared with me and is an outstanding read for all artists."
"This book is about so much more than acting. It's filled with straight, insightful knowledge about how to live as an artist of integrity and substance. Craig doesn't pull any punches and thank goodness. I wish I had gotten this kind of brutally honest and comprehensive advice when I was starting out. He saves you (hopefully) from learning the hard way! He covers IT ALL!"
