Recenzii
What really makes this book worth picking up is that it is littered with useful and appropriate exercises as well as links to video clips to illustrate points. ... Any actor wanting to explore the world of acting on film should definitely give this a read before setting foot on a film set and then keep it as a handy guide to refer back to.
I think that the book sounds like an extremely useful addition to screen acting practice and would not hesitate in recommending it to the screen acting school at which I work. It seeks to contextualise screen acting and offers an intriguing methodology to explore ... As the authors rightly point out, although there are some notable competing titles, [this book] would address an important gap in the market. There isn't a single title that comes to mind which aims itself at those individuals looking to explore screen acting in their late teens and early twenties. Given the huge success of TV and film content streaming sites, and their particular accessibility to younger generations, I am sure that a screen acting book, targeted in part at them, should do well if it succeeds in its aims. I think the proposed book's strength lies in offering the trainee screen actor a consistent methodology, properly contextualised, and explained in a way that engages and excites the reader. Screen acting publications can sometimes be a little 'top-down' in their approach - offering the actor tricks and overly proscriptive directions in addressing challenges when working in front of camera. The authors certainly tick an important box in looking to provide a more bottom-up solution to the challenges faced by the camera actor, whilst hopefully providing the screen acting trainer with practical exercises to help actors understand the methodology and integrate it into their craft.
I think this book is great! It is clear and flags up all the rules and business that we actors have to know and be aware of. I wish I'd had this book when I was starting out. I can't tell you how many times I was scared, puzzled and ignorant of all the do's and don'ts. To have this sensible guide would have been great.
