A very thorough self-help guide... Johnson begins with clear strategies to help uncover meaning within the text, moving to more complex rehearsal techniques to help release the words and make them your own.... Terrific. - Teaching Drama Magazine

Brilliant... really practical... It's like being led through the process by a trusted and knowledgeable friend... a most useful book which anyone about to start on the application process should read. - The Stage

No-nonsense and engaging... a great companion to take with you on your journey to a great career in acting. - Ink Pellet: The Arts Magazine for Teachers

An excellent book. It's detailed and written in a direct and no-messing way... crammed full of good advice - much of which may be new to potential auditionees. - ReviewsGate.com
