"I was totally unprepared for the transformation that Seth's technique created in me. . . . I realized that what I thought I knew about acting up to that point was largely misguided . . . but I now had a great, talented, dedicated teacher who generously wanted to share his tools with everyone. There is muscularity, not to mention wisdom and truth to Seth's techniques. He is a wonderful teacher, and I know that having him as my first guide is one of the luckiest things to have happened to me in my career and life. And when I can't get back to class with him, I am so grateful I have this book to turn to."--Anne Hathaway

"This book is truly unlike anything else I know--these pieces are haikus on specific elements of performance and character building."--Philip Himberg, executive director, Sundance Theatre Institute

A collection of practical acting tips, tools, and exercises, "An Actor's Companion" is ideal for both the seasoned professionals and actors-in-training. The tips--all simple, direct, and useful--are easy to understand and even easier to apply, in both rehearsal and in performance.

Seth Barrish is an actor, teacher, and the co-artistic director of The Barrow Group in New York City. In his thirty-year career, he has directed the award-winning shows "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" (Lucille Lortel Award for Best Solo Show, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle nominations for Best Solo Show), "Sleepwalk With Me" (Nightlife Award for Outstanding Comedian in a Major Performance), "The Tricky Part" (Obie Award, Drama Desk nominations for Best Play and Best Solo Show), "Pentecost" (Drama Desk nomination for Best Play), "Old Wicked Songs" (Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award and Garland Award for Best Direction), and "Good" (Straw Hat Award for Best Direction), among dozens of others.
