Reviews for Screen Acting Workshop
'Mel Churcher's new book is one of those rare things... The whole package is eminently approachable, direct, entertaining and perceptive; the [film clips are] smoothly edited, explicit and professional. The written text is substantial, with lots of extra information and exercises plainly laid out and easy to find... a joy'
Communicating Voice, British Voice Association
'This book is not just exclusively for those who would be screen actors, but for all those, both teachers and actors, who wish to find 'truth' within the role they have been given. The plus is the [film clips], which are a joy to watch and a 'gift' for all those teachers of drama'
Word Matters, The Journal of The Society of Teachers of Speech and Drama
