Secrets of Screen Acting Fourth Edition is a step-by-step guide to
the elements of successful screen acting. When it was first
published in 1993, Secrets of Screen Acting broke new ground in
explaining how acting for the camera is different from acting on
stage. Reaction time is altered, physical timing and placement are
reconceived, and the proportions of the digital frame itself become
the measure of all things, so the director must conceptualize each
image in terms of this new rectangle and actors must 'fit' into the
frame. Based on a revolutionary non-Method approach to acting, this
book shows what actually works: how an actor, an announcer, or
anyone working in front of the cameras can maximise the
effectiveness of their performances on screen. This fourth edition
is completely updated to cover new techniques, film references, and
insights, including: Updated information on vocal work outside
acting, such as audio books and voice overs; Guidance on the
technique of "whisper acting"; New information about working with
video games, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and other non-traditional
forms of screen work; Updated guidance on self-taping auditions;
Coverage of working with CGI and invisible acting partners in green
screen; Information on typecasting and stereotyping; A quick
History of Theatre and Film in 10 pictures; A new emphasis on
illustrations depicting acting techniques; Information on and best
practices for presenting oneself to the industry; Many new
illustrations, all specifically drawn for this edition. This book
is perfectly suited for Acting for the Screen university courses,
actors training on their own, and actors involved in all forms of
screen work, including Zoom, Skype, Vox Pops, and more.
