Dialect work is one of the actors most challenging tasks. Need to know a Russian accent? Playing a German countess or a Midwestern farmhand? These and more accents ndash; from Yiddish to French Canadian ndash; are clearly explained in Evangeline Machlins classic work.Now available in a book-and-CD format; Evangeline Machlins Dialects for the Stage is based on a method of dialect acquisition she developed during her years working with students at Boston Universitys Division of Theatre. During her long career; Evangeline Machlin trained such actors as Steve McQueen; Lee Grant; Suzanne Pleshette; Joanne Woodward; and Faye Dunaway.

Extremely Helpful ReferenceBy Mike von RAs a student of clay sculpture; I am looking for all sorts of help with my attempts at making creations of humans that look realistic. This book REALLY is easy to understand and is therefore quite helpful.5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A true MUST HAVEBy DLRThe writer of the Forward; claims this book to be "A Four Year Art Course; if the artist performs all of the Lessons". After using the book for three years; I completely agree. Lanteri has even included sections on Sculpting Drapery; and creating The Relief.As far as a comprehensive How to Sculpt book; this is the best one I have ever seen.Lets not forget; Auguste Rodin referred to Edouard Lanteri; as "Dear Master..."1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Must Have!By Thomas SThis is a must have for anyone who wants to master clay. You will learn more about the anatomy of the face and the tendencies of the human body than any anatomy book will teach you. Fantastic book; if its good enough for Rodin its good enough for me!
