A propos de cet article

Paperback. Acting is a craft, and craft can be learned. This beginner's guide breaks the work into skills you can name, practice, and repeat, whether you're playing a Tuesday matinee or the fifteenth take of the same scene. Every term gets defined in plain language before it is used, and each chapter builds on the one before it, so the book rewards reading in order. Nine chapters move from a working definition of the job through script analysis, character building, voice, rehearsal, and the camera. Each one ends with discussion questions, not as a quiz, but to help you better interact with the material. The chapters cover: - What the job actually is, and why a character who wants something under pressure gives you real behavior instead of mood - Relaxation, breath, alignment, sense memory, and the circle of attention - Stanislavski, Strasberg, Adler, Meisner, Michael Chekhov, Brecht, and Grotowski compared side by side, so you can see why two respected teachers hand you flatly opposite advice - Objectives, obstacles, stakes, tactics, beats, and subtext - Reading a script the way an actor reads it, including the verb test that separates a want you can play from a state of being you can only fake - Backstory that changes behavior, physical life and tempo-rhythm, status, contradiction, and playing someone whose values you reject - Grief and tears on cue, emotional recall and its risks, de-roling after a heavy night, and how intimacy scenes get staged with a coordinator - Breath support, articulation at speed, accents built from phonetics, and the rhythm of Shakespeare's verse - Camera work from marks and eyelines to shooting out of sequence, plus self-tapes, agents, unions, and honest numbers on what the job pays Written for people at the start. First-year students drowning in vocabulary, community theatre actors who want to know why one scene clicked and the next died on stage, adults coming back to it after twenty years away, and self-taught performers with no class to attend. No prior training assumed and no jargon left unexplained. Four sections follow the final chapter: - A timeline of the profession, from Thespis stepping out of the Greek chorus around 534 BCE to actors taping auditions on their phones - Example answers to every end-of-chapter question, so you can check your thinking against a worked response - A glossary defining every term in one place, from actioning and endowment to gestus and the magic if - A works cited and recommended reading list pointing to what to pick up next Reading about the work of course isn't the same as doing it, and no book replaces standing up in front of other people. What this one gives you is the vocabulary, the questions to ask of any script, and a clear sense of what you're training when you train. Read it straight through for the framework, then keep it next to whatever script is on the table. This item is printed on demand.
