"Best Book for Changing Your Self Image!" according to Christine Carra. This book changed my life! I never write reviews but felt inspired to write one for this book. It was recommended to me by Bob Proctor and another one of his coaches. I kept asking for a way to change my self-image so that I could lose the extra 10 pou. Beautiful and epic, but maybe too much so at times. The Art of Acting is a great book on the subject of acting written by one of the premier acting teachers of the 20th century.

If you want to act, get this book, read it, do the exercises, practice them and just go for it.
