F.M. Alexander developed the Alexander Technique of movement in the early 20th century. Combining vocal clarity and body movement; Alexander developed a performance coaching method that is used by dancers; actors; singers; etc. In The Actor and the Alexander Technique; Kelly McEvenue writes the first basic book about how this unique technique can help actors feel more natural on the stage. She provides warm-up exercises; "balance" and "center" exercises; spatial awareness exercises. She talks about imitation; the use of masks; nudity on the stage; dealing with injury and aging. She talks about specific productions that have successfully used the Alexander Technique; such as "The Lion King". With a foreword by Patsy Rodenburg of our own phenomenal The Actor Speaks this is a book that belongs on the shelf of every working and studying actor.

A must have and a must readBy David MedinaI just got "Wedding Photography from the heart" by Joe Buissink and Skip Cohen yesterday and I cant put it down. Is like having a personal conversation with them. It gives you an inside look at how Joe Buissink works but not with the purpose that the reader will imitate him but that he/she will develop their God given talent and take it to the next level. True to its purpose; It has challenged me to go out there a shoot with intent. To shoot from the heart more. To lear to see instead of just looking.Among many recipe books; it is refreshing a book that really help you go deeper into your "inner photographer" so you outer one becomes better. I know that this is a book I will have to read many time to get it all.If you are a professional photographer I highly recommend it as one book that should be in your library and read often.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Beautiful; timeless; and a great guideBy J. MiearsI just received my book two nights ago; and sat down and read the entire book in one night! This book has some stunning photos; and contains great information and tips for photographers who want to capture the most beautiful and intimate moments of a wedding. Joes advice is practical and uncomplicated; which I love. Everything from lighting to equipment to how to gain your clients trust and capture people in their natural states is included in this book; which is truly an enjoyable book to read. It isnt too heavy on jargon/technique and is easy to navigate through to find the topics you are most interested in. Im very happy I purchased this book and send my congrats to Joe on a job very well done - as always! I continue to be a raving fan!
