"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
