This is just the beginning.............

Forget the thousands you'll spend on other books, classes and acting coaches with minimal intellectual horsepower and empty promises of movie stardom - Gregory Bach is THE REAL DEAL! The book is just a taste, the tip of the iceberg of the true direction you should head in if you REALLY want to learn to be an actor. Mr. Bach's insights and teachings will help you reach heights (and depths) you never thought possible. But be patient, most of all with yourself, because if you hang in there, he'll make you soar. The real key is getting face to face time in a workshop or seminar and letting Bach's teachings become a part of you. You'll find that you'll not only become an amazing actor, but you will become 10x the human being that you had ever dreamed of being. Yes, he is THAT good. And for those of you skeptics - this is straight from someone who has had the honor and privilege of studying under Greg for several years in the 90's. I think of, and still use, most of his "notes" on a daily basis. Thanks Greg and keep making all of us a little bit better - on the stage and in our lives.

Brings Acting Back to Life

I found the book to be a quick and pleasant read. It is something between a biography and advice (rather than instruction) for the aspiring actor, or really anyone. Most of the examples are about acting but Bach extends all his examples into broader life leasons and eventually bring life back to acting. I'm not sure I'm any better an actor after reading the book but I enjoyed it very much.
