“Easily one of the most important books on the subject of acting for opera. The concepts contained herein are foundational and fundamental to the craft of acting. This is an important book for performers at any level of their professional and artistic development”.
James Marvel, Opera Director and Head of Opera, University of Tennessee
“Amazing and succinct, back to basics “how to” book for anyone looking to enhance their craft of acting.
What a clear, succinct, and great back to basics book for singers interested in performing opera. I recommend it to all who are interested in completely learning the entire craft of performing opera. What Mr. Cooley is saying could have come out of my own mouth and has many times. Acting is acting. There is no separate kind of “acting” for opera. It is definately not becoming emotional, which affects the voice, but learning how to truthfully portray the emotions so you can take your audience on a journey. After all, that is the job of all performers, telling a great, honest, believable story while taking your audience on this amazing journey!
Buy it!!”
