Summary: Must have for any director's collection
Comment: Regardless of how many times you've been on a set (or if at all) directing, you will reap mega benefits from this one! If you want to grow as a director, or simply start out, I highly recommend DIRECTING ACTORS. Not only does Weston list common mistakes and frustrations directors make, she offers practical solutions to correct the direction and save your project! In one read, I learned the importance of skills and techniques that I feel will greatly enhance actor/director working relationships. The examples/quotes are very helpful, too. Guess the best way to describe this book is that I will be re-reading it over and over... The "action verb" appendix in the back is a priceless tool. I'll never read a script the same way again.

Summary: The Only Book on Directing I Have Ever Loved
Comment: Completely unpretentious. Thoroughly knowledgeable and confident. Allows you to discover the concepts yourself, rather than spouting them at you. And yet...also completely able to be referenced.
In other words... the best book on directing I've ever read. The only I will ever recommend. To actors and directors alike.
I hate to call it "hype," but after reading the book feverously (which, for a book on directing, is almost unheard of), it is safe to believe it here. All the endorsements on the back cover from people working "in the industry" no longer ring of marketing salesmanship, but of complete honesty. There are few things in this world I would endorse, given the chance. This is one of them.
I don't want to say it "changes you." But I will say I had more thoughts and ideas OF MY OWN while reading this book that ever before. The reason? It's like any craft: if you sit down to make something, you usually don't really know what to make specifically until you get to know your tools. Then--once you know what you can be done, what things are available to you to use, the ideas of what you can do with these tools start flowing.
I'd like to thank Ms. Weston for introducing me to some of the tools. Actually, I have thanked her. She called me back. I'm still floored by that.
