Professional acting is both an art and a business, and this book
advises beginning actors on how to cope successfully on both
fronts. Opening chapters describe the difficulties every budding
actor encounters and explains basic acting techniques, which
include memory exercises and methods for developing stage presence.
Chapters that follow instruct in--
- Reading the play with understanding and learning to build the
character that the actor will be portraying
- Developing the actor's voice, imitating regional accents, and
more
- Expressing the character's thoughts and ideas through body
posture and movement
- Adapting acting techniques to different media: stage, film, TV,
and radio
- Learning the business side of acting by selling one's talents
effectively
The author strips away preconceptions and cliches often associated
with acting, and pinpoints common mistakes that inexperienced
actors need to overcome and avoid. More than 300 instructive
illustrations.
