On Amazon! Learn Your Lines by Steve Cleberg - In acting classes, we teach scene study, acting technique and improvisation. Acting students engage in exercises to condition and develop their body and voice. But surprisingly, we offer no instruction for what most actors describe as the biggest practical challenge to taking on a role, learning their lines.
The newly released book, Learn Your Lines, finally provides a systematic approach to a skill that has eluded many actors. Through three exercises and accompanying commentary, this book combines the art of acting with the science of memory by weaving skills in voice projection, stage diction and the basics of acting into a means for solidly and meaningfully learning your lines.
On Amazon! An Actor's Path by Steve Cleberg - There is a lively history of the development of the art of acting. Professor Cleberg blends this history with practical application as he provides thirty-eight observations that arose while he was preparing his role for a production of Lauren Gunderson’s play, The Book of Will. Citing many traditional acting techniques and devices, Cleberg provides insights about how an emerging actor can “learn the rules in order to learn how to break the rules.” Through specific examples, the author demonstrates how breaking traditions inspires new discoveries.
