Acting is a tool for freedom of expression and choice, a mirror of
possibility for humankind. Acting is a powerful medium for
reflecting authenticity in the human experience.
Hollywood Actors Studio is dedicated to providing excellent and
distinct training and to promoting the actor as artist in the
community.
The Studio is a safe, fun and supportive environment for
artistic discoveries and personal growth. We train people in
revealing their true talents and realizing their potential.
Our purpose is to offer top-notch acting, self-expression and
public speaking training programs to enhance communication and
liberate the individual's creativity and expression.
We deliver clear distinctions via tools and techniques, which
bring lasting advancements in artistic expression, growth and
development, personal effectiveness and passionate
communication.
In this book, you will find distinctions in the craft of acting
which aim at giving acting a context as an art form that can be
learned and practiced, not a vague talent that some people are born
with and others not.
This manual is designed to facilitate your understanding, study
and pursuit of acting as a craft.
You will also find in it definitions and insights about the
basic language and terminology of the craft as well as
clarifications on fundamental concepts and ideas.
By developing a clear understanding of the craft, and by
creating a healthy context for the study of acting, it is much
easier to develop and become skilled and competent. It also helps
develop respect for acting as a craft and an art form-something
that can touch, affect and communicate with people.
The worst enemies of actors are not the job market, Hollywood,
corrupt and incompetent agents or producers. Competition is not the
fundamental problem either. Breaking into the various fields of
acting is extremely difficult but I don't believe anyone truly
thinks that acting is easy.
Lack of skill and competence and the willingness to become
competent and effective as an actor is what stops the majority of
would-be actors. Lack of tenacity and endurance are also major
factors.
Other traps and limitations that can affect the pursuit of
acting negatively are:
Self-defeating thoughts
Tension, struggle and lack of flexibility
Self-consciousness or chronic timidity
Lack of stage manners or body control
Improper use of imagination
Low level of skills: too few tools and techniques to draw
from
Inadequate communication skills
Lack of professionalism, concentration and/or focus
No passion, desire or will power
Unresolved personal issues
Destructive habits and un-released negativity
