Acting for Film

by Cathy Haase

In this must-have guide for aspiring performers, a veteran film actor shares her secrets for meeting the unique challenges of acting before a camera. Acting students, aspiring actors and established professionals wanting to deepen their understanding of the craft will find a wealth of tips and insights designed to enhance actors� screen work. Readers will learn special exercises for relaxing the face for maximum expressiveness; maintaining proper eye focus in front of the camera; and conveying the �beats� of a scene, even in the shortest takes.

They will also discover tested techniques for applying theater training to the medium of film; adapting to the styles of different directors; modulating voice and breath for maximum effect; preparing for the first day on the set; acting in various camera set-ups; enduring multiple takes and on-the-set waiting; evaluating rushes; and much more. For every performer who intends to make a living in front of the camera, this is the most authoritative resource.
