An impassioned and invaluable guide for actors and students of musical theatre.
In Acting Through Song,?Paul Harvard takes the techniques of modern actor training – including the theories of Stanislavsky, Brecht, Meisner and Laban, amongst others – and applies them to the fundamental component of musical theatre: singing.
With dozens of exercises to put these theories into practice, and numerous examples from a broad range of musicals, the result is a comprehensive and rigorous acting course for those training in musical theatre or already performing, whether amateur or professional, to realise their potential – and act better.
'The most methodical, thorough and practical book on the subject that I've ever read.' – Daniel Evans, from his foreword
'If you want to maximise your potential in this tough profession, this is not just a must-read – it's your Bible.' – Stuart Barr
