This book is great for me to find exercises for my Public Speaking Students; The biggest problem is the dreaded fear my students have when it is their turn to speak. I was looking for a book that spoke to this issue, and I remembered that I studied Acting with the author in the 1980tys, and I thought to myself, "I wonder if Erik Morris has his books on Amazon. I remember reading his first book, "No Acting Please." because of that book I joined his workshop and I remembered his exercises to help the actor . I was delighted to find all his books on Amazon and to top it off, Kindle access. If you are an actor who cannot get confident because of stage fright, or a person who has to give speeches and dread it, you need this book. He says that "At the root of almost all instrumental issues is the lack of self-esteem, of a healthy ego, or of entitlement." I will indeed suggest this book to my Speech students, I look forward to trying out some of the exercises. Mr Morris goes into very sensible discussions about why this is such a big issue with actors, and as I read this book, I see the same thing happening semester after semester in my classes. Lastly, if you want to be an actor, purchase this book.
