Best thing that ever happened to me as an actor.By thehannThis year I had a regional commercial air in Colorado during the Superbowl. Even though I am dressed in a suit and tie. no makeup or red nose. I am clearly clowning. I will forever be thankful for the techniques and training Simon has outlined in his books! His teachings offer a unique performance style as well as a high level approach to actor training. Appropriate for all levels. and undeniable fun. this book will open new doorways for all those ready to explore their most open. vulnerable and spontaneous selves.
