Irreverent Acting: A Bold New Statement on the Craft of Acting and Individual Talent

Great book for method acting. Might get a bit confusing at times but hopefully you'll have a good teacher to guide you.

This book has helped me with my acting process incredibly.You understand how to perform in a natural and believable way.That is how things work best on the large screen since HD every little movement is amplified so if you stay real it shows that way.I have been acting for about ten years my first acting class taught using this book it still is the best in my mind.It is a little wordy but worth reading and using the technique

Great book...a must have.

I have readmany acting books, had classes about sanford meisner. But this is the holy grale about acting!!

This was a great book to read for any actor or aspiring actor.Eric Morris is a wonderful teacher and writer.If you are an upcoming actor you must check his method out.

Quick transaction. Product exceeded expect ions.

As theatre person Im always open to new ideas.Sorry, but this seems to be one good ideastretched to boring and unenlightening limits.A very Hollywood Im-going-to-write-an-instantbestseller feel to it. Title is about the best bit.

Once, in Eric Morris' Acting class, I mistakenly referred to this book as Irrelevant Acting. Nothing could be farther from the truth. This is one of the best books on acting ever!The exercises and work in this book have enhanced my acting tremendously, given me a way of working that is unmatched by any other acting book I've ever come accross (and I've read a ton of em) and has made me a powerful teacher and director in my own right.It explains Eric's Technique of Freeing the Instrument (Explained in great detail in his No Acting Please which should be read prior to this book.) It explains a new way of looking at material and personally connecting it to the actor through choices and choice approaches. It truly helps make the actor an artist in that he creates and is truly using himself.If you utilize this work and combine it with some common sense of your own (if you don't combine it with some common sense--some of it can get you into trouble) your acting will take on a new dimension; you will be more open as an actor artist and human being.You will learn how to free and tap into your emotions. How to make personal choices for your material. How to make Choice approaches or tools to connect you to the work and more! Read this book. Do the exercises. I can't recommend it enough.Do read No Acting Please first and follow it with this amazing masterpiece.

A great resource for when you get stuck with preparation as an actor. Many exercises are included to enable release of tension and become connected with the actor's instrument, connected with their own body and being. If I find I'm getting too much in my head, I go back to Morris' books and go through several of the exercises explained in them.

A magnificente and unique approache to a unique kind of art! Such a great work Mr. Morris! Thanks for all and ever!!
