About this listen

Heralded as "Best Acting Teacher in LA" by Backstage magazine, Hollywood’s most sought after acting teacher, Howard Fine, reveals the winning technique that has garnered his students international acclaim and the industry’s highest honors in his astonishing first book FINE ON ACTING. In this revised edition, Fine expands on his technique to meet the needs of today's working actor.

During his twenty-five years as a teacher and director, Fine has developed a technique that is both useful and exciting. Emmy Award®-winning actor Michael Chiklis writes in the foreword for FINE ON ACTING, “You’ve purchased this book because you either aspire to be an actor or want to be a better one. Either way you’ve made a wonderful decision. Howard Fine is a great teacher. His philosophy and approach to the craft of acting are the most helpful, encouraging and practically applicable I’ve ever encountered.”

Fine On Acting is a must-listen for the aspiring and seasoned actor alike. In an ever-changing industry landscape, Fine's groundbreaking approach continues to make the craft accessible by covering the essentials: Common Mistakes, Auditions & Self-Tapes, Rehearsal Exercises, Script Analysis, Stage Acting vs. On-Camera Acting, and much more. In this book, actors will find valuable advice for overcoming nerves, memorizing lines, troubleshooting challenging situations in rehearsal and role preparation, and how to become what Fine calls the "Total Actor". Fine uses his own compelling personal and family history to illustrate the techniques of Personalization and Emotional Recall, exemplifying the core of his training: the authentic use of your self.

For decades his studio in Hollywood has been a home for professional actor training, and since expanding overseas and online, Fine continues to be the go-to coach for serious actors. Fine has worked with thousands of actors including hundreds of stars and award winners such as: Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Austin Butler, Bradley Cooper, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Gal Gadot, Emma Roberts, Michelle Williams, Kerry Washington, and many more.

Life changing, Literally

I bought this title prior to meeting Howard and Enrolling in his classes, not only did I start improving my personal life and embracing my emotions and my true self, I continue to find improvements in my acting skill. The classes with Howard are absolutely exceptional and I can say I am a much better understanding and loving human being than I was prior.

Learning to act is hard, but...

If you can learn to affect and be affected by another and you found part of the puzzle to acting. But truly, best acting book! So many incredible tips, direction, and delving into the depths of what you as actor cares about and makes you vulnerable. Find reason to live and same as telling your story. He was a delight to listen to! Tons of wonderful examples.

Will change the way you approach acting

Fine really knows how to phrase things to make the abstract aspects of the craft tangible. His direction is straightforward and easy to follow.
