Summary

Stop Acting, Start Living is the culmination of 35 years of performing and teaching experience around the globe. Hollywood Acting and Success coach Bernard Hiller has worked with Jeff Goldblum, LL Cool J, Lindsay Lohan, Billy Crystal, Chace Crawford, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Emilio Rivera among many others. Bernard coached Cameron Diaz for her first big audition The Mask with Jim Carrey, which launched her career. His revolutionary techniques have changed the course of lives and careers.

Bernard is the only coach who combines acting technique, life coaching, and success training in an entirely new and transformative way. Leonardo DiCaprio, CAA, Samuel L Jackson and other stars have recommend him as the premier acting teacher in town. Casting Director April Webster (Star Wars)... I have seen firsthand how his techniques instantly improves your talent. Academy Award Nominee Bruce Dern. There is no class like it in America.

A definitive guide to making it in Acting, and in life itself

This book is an incredible and concise guide to transforming your life. It doesn’t beat around the bush at any point.
I love the way that Bernard Hiller gets straight to the point, unlike many academic writers who seem to take so long to convey a simple point.

His volume of life enhancing objectives are accumulatively focussed in such a singularly and beautifully simple title...
Stop Acting, Start Living.

Who would have thought that such straight forward assistance in life would transform a life so readily? But it really does work.

There’s an incredible volume of wonderful life enhancing messages, but the most important for me have been, be dynamic, seek adventure, take big risks, be optimistic, love... and most importantly, follow your beautiful heart.

Thank you Bernard Hiller... Bravo!

Inpiring

I recommend this audio book to aspiring actor as it helps you realize what you really want in your acting career and also to acknowledge the pros and cons. Bernard is very accurate in his description of the industry.

Even better than the book!

I bought and read the book in preparation for an upcoming Masterclass with Bernard. I was advised to buy this audio as well, because it would be 'even better'.

I can totally attest to the fact that it is! Bernard's passion and energy pours out of every word. Having this audio now allows me to better use my 'dead' time (driving, walking, train journeys) and has already massively changed my life in a profound and positive way!

If you are serious about becoming the best actor you can be, invest in this!

INSPIRATIONAL - A MUST READ!!!

Everything I've needed to hear!

As an actor myself it's hard to stay motivated especially during drought periods where auditions are scarce.

Some of Bernards teachings I've already known but he breaks down every barrier leaving no stone unturned. I'm going to have another listen this time highlighting a few notes.

I highly recommend this book not just for actors but in life for the power of positivity, gratitude and well being.

Similar to other Acting Books

I didn't find that I heard anything new, but that's because I've been reading a lot of acting books recently. it is good if you're beginning or need reaffirming.
