The craft of acting and the business of acting are very clearly explained in The Actor’s Manifesto. I studied with Lee Strasberg, Milton Katselas and Linda Ann Watt,… they taught me the joy of acting, to respect my beloved craft, and that it is a business. Watt’s exercises are invaluable for actors to be prepared in auditions and performance. She offers tools for the actor to be creative, use imagination, and so much more… I highly recommend this book for all actors and students.

This book is a true gift to actors. There is so much to know, and Linda Ann Watt covers it, in an accessible and enlightening way. It’s like having a personal coach sit with you and give you what you need in order to succeed. Ms. Watt tells you how and from which other teachers and entertainment industry personnel she’s gathered important insights, thereby bringing those people and experiences into the conversation. I absolutely recommend this book for the seasoned actor to improve their craft and those who have an abiding passion to be professional actors and realize their dreams.

What a treasure trove of information! There are dozens of informative publications for actors, but none nearly as complete as The Actor’s Manifesto. Linda Ann Watt has a passion for the creative process and for the protection and edification of all actors.
