Despite being roundly cited as much harder to perform than its
dramatic counterpart, comic acting is traditionally seen as a
performance genre that can't be taught. At best it is often
described as a skill that can only be learned "on the job" through
years of practice, or given to a performer through natural talent.
Acting Comedy is an effort to examine this idea more rigorously by
looking at different aspects of the comic actor's craft. Each
chapter is written by an expert in a particular form-from actors
and directors to teachers and standup comedians. Topics covered
include: how performers work with audiences how comic texts can be
enhanced through word and musical rhythm analysis how physical
movements can generate comic moments and build character. This book
is an invaluable resource for any performer focusing on the minute
details of comic acting, even down to exactly how one delivers a
joke on stage. Christopher Olsen's unique collection of comic
voices will prove essential reading for students and professionals
alike.
