Synopsis

Do you have any notes for me? Actors always ask for notes on their performance, and they will take them from just about anyone. Ron Marascos Notes to an Actor grew out of the actors profession. In his years as an actor, scholar, and teacher of acting, Mr. Marasco found that most acting books were either outdated classics that were rarely read, or quasi-textbooks that actors only skimmed. So he developed Notes to an Actor, a compact, user-friendly book geared specifically to the way actors work. The book is based on the innovative idea that notes, given one on one, are the essential tool of creative learning.
