Acting for the Camera : Revised Edition
This is, by far, the best guide I've ever read of acting for
film and television as it compares to acting for the stage. A
very descriptive reference manual to read again and again throughout
one's acting career, it examines the correlation between theatrical
and film acting, a principal that's often disregarded by many
modern actors to the detriment of their skill. This book is a
thorough technical manual for those who are yet to stand before
the camera as well as for experts in the field. |
