This book defines the terminology used to teach and direct actors. It is a discussion of acting terms as they are used in classes, workshops and productions by teachers, coaches and directors. It will help eliminate the confusion so often encountered by new actors and professionals, both in class and production. While there may not be an all-encompassing definition for each term, you will get an overview of how the term is used and applied in today's theatre.
Like all professions, acting has its own special vocabulary. Its terminology continues to evolve, and with this book, actors, students, directors, and playwrights will have access to clear definitions of the words and phrases they will need to know and use regularly. Everything from accents and dialects to verse technique is defined. A single sentence followed by a detailed explanation, often with an example, comprises each entry. Selected words appearing in capital letters are cross references to their own definitions in the book. The author has been involved in theater for over 25 years and currently teaches acting in New York. His highly useful reference book will be of value to anyone interested in drama.-- Howard E. Miller, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Missouri Lib., St. Louis

Coming to Terms with Acting: An Instructive Glossary: What You Need to Know to Understand It, Discuss It, Deal with It, and Do It
I bought this book with the idea in mind to use some of the ideas and exercises in teaching my reading students some interesting games and approaches to speech contest preparation. It was all I had hoped it would be and more.
It made me want to do theater again, like I did in my late teens!! So many useful ideas, and so much wonderful information in a little book. Rafael has truly jam-packed this book with brief biographies of the seminal schools of acting currently being used and discussed, as well as ideas for approaching Shakespeare, and wonderful warm-up exercises for students to become comfortable with being "on stage", or to lose their self-conciousness when approaching a performance opportunity.
