Glenn Alterman Studio

WELCOME!

I'd like to personally welcome you to GlennAlterman.com. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. GlennAlterman.com contains some information about myself, the courses that I'm presently offering, and the purchasing links for my books. I believe that every actor is unique with specific needs. It is for that reason that I primarily offer coaching and consultation sessions, not group classes. I feel that one-on-one coaching and consultations is far more effective for this kind of work. It's also less time consuming (and less expensive). Occasionally however, I do run small workshops. The dates and times of these workshops will be listed on this site as they are scheduled.

Please feel free to browse my web site at your convenience and contact me with any questions that you have.

"Secrets to Successful Cold Readings"

Glenn Alterman's latest work. The most comprehensive book ever written on cold readings (from Smith and Kraus)

Advice from one of America's premiere monologue and audition coaches and author of 15 best-selling acting and original monologue books.

"While there are countless books for actors devoted to finding and preparing the perfect audition monolog, few have been written on the topic of cold reading, a skill equally important in the working actor's life. Alterman, playwright and author of many popular monolog books, addresses the special challenges of cold readings in this comprehensive how-to guide.
…Structurally, much of the text is in list form, as Alterman covers the dos and don'ts of cold reading in various audition situations ranging from theater to daytime television.
…The book excels at placing artistic concepts within the actual audition process, providing a valuable resource for actors confronting new and unfamiliar audition situations.
…An added highlight is Alterman's inclusion of interviews with many top casting directors. Recommended for all theater collections and for performing arts collections in public and academic libraries.
