In The Scene Study Book, award-winning professor Bruce Miller explored the entire scene study process. In his follow-up book, Acting Solo, he addresses what aspects of your craft to work on, even when working alone, that will help you survive and grow as an actor.

Acting Solo is a straightforward guide filled with useful information to help you master your craft, focusing on the things an actor can do solo. Analysis, memorization, learning how to take criticism, and finding the courage and persistence to move forward are all essential skills for an actor. Acting Solo addresses these and other issues facing actors, with specific advice on how to deal with these concerns. It includes chapters on monologues, preparing to sing for the stage, acting Shakespeare, and thinking critically. Acting Solo is an essential tool for aspiring actors as well as experienced ones.
