Synopsis
An Actor's Companion is the invaluable guide to acting from the revered American teacher, actor and director; ideal for both seasoned professionals and beginning actors.
The tips and ideas found in this brilliant book are clear, direct and easy to apply in both rehearsal and performance.
"There is a muscularity, not to mention wisdom and truth, to Seth's techniques. He is a wonderful teacher, and I know that having him as my first guide is one of the luckiest things to have happened to me in my career and life." -Anne Hathaway, from her Foreword
"Seth Barrish has coached me on almost every TV project, film or audition I've done since we met ten years ago. When it comes to wisdom about acting, there's no one I hold in higher regard." -Mike Birbiglia, comedian, director, actor
"Seth's approach and understanding is awesome. He makes it very easy to act by telling you not to act and be natural. It could be as simple as having something in your hand, creating business while you deliver a line to make it seem natural and comfortable. His book is amazing - it's basically the actor's blueprint." -Jay Pharoah, actor, comedian
"In Seth's class I often watch him transform a student's good, yet average performance into a precise and exhilarating one, with just one simple adjustment. I am constantly blown away by how he does this. This book explains it." -Sarita Choudhury, actor
This book is truly unlike anything else I know - these pieces are haikus on specific elements of performance and character building." -Philip Himberg, Sundance Theatre Institute.
