Synopsis

Acting Successful: Using Performance Skills in Everyday Life explains how everyone can benefit from learning acting skills and techniques. Readers learn to view their daily actions as performances that influence the perceptions of observers. They discover how to use their voices, bodies, and acting skills to express themselves with clarity and build strong social and professional relationships.

The book is organized into four sections: "Acting Your Best Self," "The Actor's Secrets," "Channeling Your Inner Star," and "Rehearsing for Reality." The first three sections provide information about acting theories, approaches to training, and skills development, while the fourth section provides opportunities for practical application. From formal presentations to subtle interactions, this book details how acting skills translate to life skills.

Acting Successful helps individuals from any discipline develop expressiveness, creativity, and confidence. Perfect for introductory acting classes for majors or non-majors, or any course that addresses improved interpersonal and communication skills, Acting Successful is also useful as a training tool for business professionals, clinical practitioners, and educators.
