The Art of Film Acting
A Guide For Actors and Directors
To order this title, and for more information, click here

By
Jeremiah Comey

Description
This guide for actors and directors develops a valid method for training performers to act from their core--whether they are cold reading, auditioning, or performing for film or television. This book teaches actors how to achieve and respond to believable and honest emotions before the camera, and it maintains that the key to a successful performance lies in how the actors relate to one another and to the circumstances. Exercises, including script examples, throughout the book give readers an easy resource for practicing the principles outlined. The Art of Film Acting applies a classic stage acting method (Stanislavsky) to the more intimate medium of performing before a camera, teaching readers to experience an emotion rather than to indicate it.

Audience
Aspiring and experienced actors; students of acting and directing; professionals seeking to apply their theater training to film and TV; acting instructors
