Acting Books for Summer Reading at Love Acting

Acting for the Camera by Tony Barr

At my film acting school Love Acting in Baton Rouge, I always encourage my students to read and absorb the knowledge found in some of my favorite acting books. If you’re an actor and you’re looking for some good acting books that would enhance your studies, I have a few favorite recommendations. They are:

Whenever I start to feel like I need inspiration, I pick up an acting book and read about what there is to know about the craft I’ve dedicated my life to. I feel like they’re speaking my language, and it’s always inspiring to read what other coaches have to say. I always think it takes, like in a family they say it “takes a village to raise a child”, same thing when you grow as an actor— you need many teachers.

Maybe I have no plans to go study with the famous Margie Haber in Los Angeles. But I can read her book and absorb her philosophy, and hopefully it will affect my outlook in a positive way and encourage me to keep going. I truly believe I will be the best actor when I’m 80— when I fully understand truth. But in my process of becoming 80, I have much to learn, and I’m always exploring the knowledge that’s been written by the leaders of my industry. It’s fascinating to read all the philosophies about acting, and just when I think I’ve read it all, somebody comes out with a new book.

Have you ever gone into a library and wondered what it would be like if suddenly all the books and all the knowledge was inside your head? It’s so much information. But to be truly smart I feel you need to continutue to read books and always be a chronic learner in life. The art of acting is simple and complex and I love studying it, and these books on acting are a part of an actor’s journey.
