Thank you, Michael; we needed it."—Joshua Logan . "What a book! Yet it's so simple that you learn without feeling it happen
"A must-read for anyone interested in acting" according to Colleen @ Here Be Bookwyrms. References and language that Shurtleff used in this book are now out-dated (it was published in 1978), but the information he provides is timelessThe real meat of Audition is the second chapter, in which Shurtleff has outlined his 12 Guideposts. In fact, for the acting class I took, the guideposts were the reason this book was assignedThe rest of the chapters in Audition are full of valuable information as well, but I would strongly recommend this book to actors and aspiring actors if only. A MUST for aspiring actors/actresses! For anyone searching for a book to learn all the ins-and-outs of auditioning for acting roles, then this is the book to get!

In a sea of books of useless repetative outdated advice for actors, this Audition by the late Michaerl Shurtleff with a Intro by Bob Fosse, is really a worthwhile read with fascinating stories about our acting and singing icons today. Insightful, entertaining and fun
