An impassioned and invaluable guide for actors and students of
musical theatre. In Acting Through Song, Paul Harvard takes the
techniques of modern actor training - including the theories of
Stanislavsky, Brecht, Meisner and Laban, amongst others - and
applies them to the fundamental component of musical theatre:
singing. With dozens of exercises to put these theories into
practice, and numerous examples from a broad range of musicals, the
result is a comprehensive and rigorous acting course for those
training in musical theatre or already performing, whether amateur
or professional, to realise their potential - and act better. 'The
most methodical, thorough and practical book on the subject that
I've ever read.' Daniel Evans, from his Foreword 'If you want to
maximise your potential in this tough profession, this is not just
a must-read - it's your bible.' Stuart Barr
