(4) 4-6 Photographs by Mary Dowdle. This comprehensive volume offers a wide array of information, ranging from the technical aspects of performance (warming up, vocal projection, and faking combat and kisses) to establishing and maintaining an acting career (which includes getting an agent and finding work). Filled with black-and-white photos of, and commentary from, young actors, the book has a kid-friendly appeal. Unfortunately, most of the photos are murky. Bib.
