Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appropriate for both fundamental and advanced levels, the authors ground their commentary on actor training on the process of personalization and the innovative approaches to voice and movement training. They define the personalization process as one in which the actor discovers and explores in the self, characteristics, qualities, attitudes, and experiences that are legitimate dimensions of the role being created. Part I transitions from essential ingredients used in creating a role, such as focusing and speaking, to guidelines for auditioning and rehearsing, including role analysis. The discussions of basic acting principles are supported by skills-building exercises. Part II explores historical performance styles and shows how basic stylistic elements can be freshly adapted for modern audiences. Thus, in Part II, the authors center their discussions of voice, movement, character, and emotion around theatrical styles prevalent during certain historical periods and around sound acting theories gleaned from a wide range of acting traditions. Each chapter in this part ends with a helpful checklist that summarizes voice, movement, gesture, and other elements common to the era discussed.

Download or read book Rising Stars written by Toni Shelton and published by toni shelton. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COMMERCIAL ACTING OPPORTUNITIES There are two types of commercials, which frequently cast models. Non-air commercials are those not intended for broadcast use, such as non-broadcast audience reaction commercials, copy testing, or client demos. Photomatics are one specific type of client demo - they use a still photographer and the images are converted to video using special techniques to give the feeling of movement, as in ordinary film. Non-air commercials give new actor-models a chance to see what it takes to produce a commercial and provide valuable experience to add to acting resumes. The second type of commercial involves real movement, and may have speaking or non-speaking parts. Models cast for this type of commercial may find themselves modeling clothes, advertising a store, selling a mattress, buying a car, opening a bank account, eating an ice cream - you name it. Speaking parts usually require voice training. Be advised having a regional accent will severely limit your speaking parts. Voice training will be necessary if you are serious about your acting career. A principal part is the position held by the featured actor in a commercial. That actor is the representative of the product the consumer will focus on, and the part may be either speaking or non-speaking. Extra parts, which may be speaking or non-speaking, are held by people who are strategically placed to fill unwanted space in a commercial. Being an extra is a terrific opportunity to learn the inside workings of commercial production without the stress of being a principal. It allows you to observe what is required of the principal actors, the creative process involved, and the roles of the production team. TRAINING Regardless of what country of market the commercials you wish to audition for are aimed at, you must have proper training. To learn more about the commercial acting business, take some on-camera commercial acting class. You'll also learn techniques for psyching yourself up for auditions and overcoming intimidating directors.. "Acting in T.V. commercials is lots of fun. It can also be very demanding - doing take after take until it is exactly right. Commercial acting can be a regular and lucrative source of income, you might begin to aspire to "higher things." If you develop serious theatrical ambitions, you would be well advised to undertake proper training at a reputable drama school. It is rare to find a theatre professional who gives much credit for commercial acting experience. It just isn't in the same league. The transition between modeling and acting, you face many obstacles. The simple fact is that models are not taken as seriously as classically trained actors, and as a result they must work even harder to gain respect. Any model who wants to act is to immerse themselves into classes. This is not a short term commitment of taking just one class; you need many. A cold-reading class is beneficial because copy is often not available before an audition. I also urge my models to take improvisation acting classes. These teach you how to be free, less inhibited, and not afraid to do something silly. Finally, get a monologue under way and audition for theatre. Models need to separate the two worlds of acting and modeling. Use your composite for modeling and your headshot and resume for acting. "Before professional and come prepared to an audition. This means to be on time, know your lines wear the appropriate clothing, listen, take direction, and be self-confident." If you treat acting like a business and treat it with the same enthusiasm and drive you do modeling, success should surely follow. NETWORKING Finally, don't overlook one of the most important resources that an actor can have. This business is about people and abo

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Richard Hornby's preface: This book is written for those who act, those who teach acting, and those who are interested in seeing it. It is both a theoretical work and a call for action. This book is an unashamed attack on the American acting establishment ... The concepts derive from my graduate seminars in acting theory and history in the School of Theatre at Florida State University ... Much of the feistiness of those classes carries over into this book ... If my arguments serve only to stimulate new dialogue, they will have been valuable.
Book Synopsis Styles of Theater Acting by : Sunita Dhir
Download or read book Styles of Theater Acting written by Sunita Dhir and published by South Asia Books. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study seeks to clarify myths and concepts about the different styles of acting on the stage. All the major styles of acting-melodramatic, biomechanical, expressionist, symbolist, psychological-naturalist, epic theater-have been included in the book. The discussion of acting styles is marked by lucidity of expression and clarity of argument chastened by a deep insight of a practitioner of the various styles. The study brings into sharp focus the mechanics and dynamics of each acting style and gives a clear and useful guidance to its practitioner as to how to exploit himself as a player whose instrument, too, he himself is. Frequent reference to the Indian performance scenario makes the book eminently meaningful to the Indian theater person and theater lovers. Several interesting, penetrating conclusions have been thrown up. Such as the theater and acting may be realist-theatrical or theatrical-realist, pointing out the duality of their nature. Or, the basic training on the art of acting in same for all actors, only they have to wear about themselves different techniques for shifting over one to the other acting style-or even the medium. Or, how a muddle-headed theoretical understanding of a style may lead to encountering an impact or communication dynamically opposed to the one intended-a sort of a law of reversal operating in the theater.
