Book Reviews of Acting for the Camera: Revised Edition
Book Review: Excellent read for beginners!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
First, I would like to admit that I am not much of a reader...
With that said, I must say that once I picked up this book, I didn't put it down until the last page. Then I flipped back to the first page and read it all over again. I gained a new outlook on the whole science of acting within the first few chapters and the exercises were marvelous!
Mr. Barr did an amazing job of helping me to understand the necessary techniques to be an effective actor. I would definetely recommend this book for beginners trying to figure out exactly what acting is AND for anyone who may need a refresher.
Summary of Acting for the Camera: Revised Edition
Culled from Tony Barr's 40 years' experience as a performer, director and acting teacher in Hollywood, this highly praised handbook provides readers with the practical knowledge they need when performing in front of the camera. This updated edition includes plenty of new exercises for honing on-camera skills; additional chapters on imagination and movement; and fresh material on character development, monologues, visual focus, playing comedy and working with directors. Inside tips on the studio system and acting guilds make it particularly helpful for people new to the business, and numerous anecdotes from actors such as Morgan Freeman and Anthony Hopkins and examples from current movies illustrate its many lessons. It is perfect for acting classes, workshops, all actors who work in front of the camera -- and all those who want to.
