Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide for actors and directors develops a valid method for training performers to act from their core--whether they are cold reading, auditioning, or performing for film or television. This book teaches actors how to achieve and respond to believable and honest emotions before the camera, and it maintains that the key to a successful performance lies in how the actors relate to one another and to the circumstances. Exercises, including script examples, throughout the book give readers an easy resource for practicing the principles outlined. The Art of Film Acting applies a classic stage acting method (Stanislavsky) to the more intimate medium of performing before a camera, teaching readers to experience an emotion rather than to indicate it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acting Face to Face: the Actor's Guide to Understanding How Your Face Communicates Emotion for TV and Film is the first book to define the significant difference between acting for the stage and acting for the camera. That difference being how your face communicates thought, feeling and emotion. The actor who has the tools and skills to create and control how and what their face communicates is the actor most suited to work in front of the camera. Acting Face to Face is also the first book in a series about the "Language of the Face" - or how the face communicates nonverbally. The book is particularly useful for actors transitioning from stage to screen, by clearly defining the difference. On stage, you communicate with your body and voice; on camera you need to add a third means of communication - your face. When you understand this difference, you also understand why only a small percentage of actors get the majority of on-camera work. Acting Face to Face reveals the tools you'll need to level the playing field.Acting Face to Face exposes the myths and misconceptions about on-camera while addressing some of the major challenges most actors face when relying solely on their stage acting training to work in front of the camera. The book contains detailed photos and experiential exercises; it also helps you understand how you personally communicate and what's missing or misunderstood about your facial expressions, so you can take your acting to the next level.After working with thousands of actors and studying the work of leading researchers in the field of emotions for over 10 years, John Sudol - a veteran actor, director, casting director, Hollywood acting teacher and audition coach - has developed this book series, which stands to change the face of acting.Though developed specifically for actors, this book is also helpful to anyone in the communications business who would benefit from knowing how their face nonverbally speaks to others.* The second book of the Language of the Face series, Acting Face to Face 2, How to Create Genuine Emotion for the Camera is now available. Whereas the first Acting Face to Face defined the challenges of On-Camera Acting, Acting Face to Face 2, reveals a step-by-step process to overcoming those challenges.

Book excerpt: The Science of On-Camera Acting documents a skill-set for screen actors unlike any other in print or taught in a classroom. Tailored to the camera's unique perspective, this streamlined approach offers a complete foundation for mastering comedy and drama, transformative character work, naturalism, and confidence on-set and in auditions.In an unprecedented convergence of art and science, The Science of On-Camera Acting combines decades of experience in front of and behind the camera with exclusive insights from one of the most influential psychologists of the past century, pioneer of the science of emotional expression, Dr. Paul Ekman.Actress, filmmaker, columnist, behavioral science researcher, and Certified Advanced Expert in FACE Micro Expression Training Program, for over 20 years Andréa Morris has worked in film and television while studying the camera's sublime perception of the human face. By experimenting with how the camera perceives and translates the slightest nuance of muscle movement, Morris discovered that the scientific model applied to screen acting allows minimal time spent in your head, and maximum ability to unleash creative impulse-the fuel for strong performance.The blending of the physiological sciences, the technology of a rapidly changing digital medium, and the art of acting, makes this book the underpinnings of an entirely new standard of working with the camera.
