""I was totally unprepared for the transformation that Seth's technique created in me. I realized that what I thought I knew about acting up to that point was largely misguided. but I now had a great, talented, dedicated teacher who generously wanted to share his tools with everyone. There is muscularity, not to mention wisdom and truth to Seth's techniques. He is a wonderful teacher, and I know that having him as my first guide is one of the luckiest things to have happened to me in my career and life. And when I can't get back to class with him, I am so grateful I have this book to turn to."-Anne Hathaway" This book is truly unlike anything else I know-these pieces are haikus on specific elements of performance and character building."-Philip Himberg, executive director, Sundance Theatre Institute.
