Download or read book The Intent to Live written by Larry Moss and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2005-12-27 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I call this book The Intent to Live because great actors don’t seem to be acting, they seem to be actually living.” –Larry Moss, from the Introduction When Oscar-winning actors Helen Hunt and Hilary Swank accepted their Academy Awards, each credited Larry Moss’s guidance as key to their career-making performances. There is a two-year waiting list for his advanced acting classes. But now everyone–professionals and amateurs alike–can discover Moss’s passionate, in-depth teaching. Inviting you to join him in the classroom and onstage, Moss shares the techniques he has developed over thirty years to help actors set their emotions, imagination, and behavior on fire, showing how the hard work of preparation pays off in performances that are spontaneous, fresh, and authentic. From the foundations of script analysis to the nuances of physicalization and sensory work, here are the case studies, exercises, and insights that enable you to connect personally with a script, develop your character from the inside out, overcome fear and inhibition, and master the technical skills required for success in the theater, television, and movies. Far more than a handbook, The Intent to Live is the personal credo of a master teacher. Moss’s respect for actors and love of the actor’s craft enliven every page, together with examples from a wealth of plays and films, both current and classic, and vivid appreciations of great performances. Whether you act for a living or simply want a deeper understanding of acting greatness, The Intent to Live will move, instruct, and inspire you.

The ways in which an actor can attain that truth form the substance of this eloquent book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The two questions that should be asked at a reading are: Am I in the light. And can I be heard. The auditors will always be happy to tell you where the light is, since it's a lot easier for them to see you than search for you in darkness. #2 The two legitimate questions an actor may ask at an audition are: If you are asked to read cold, should you have time to go offstage to look at the script. And if you are asked to read cold without having seen the script in advance, always ask if you might have time to go offstage to look it over. #3 When you are called in to read for a part, you should give it your all. No matter how many times you have to read for the same part, you should never refuse to come in and read for a role. #4 If the auditors want you to know who they are, they will introduce themselves. However, you should never know whom you’re auditioning for, as it will only make you more nervous.
