Download or read book The Actor's Life written by Jenna Fischer and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. With a theater degree in hand, she was determined, she was confident, she was ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she'd imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, struggle, rejection and doubt. If only she'd had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way—an established actor who could educate her about the business, manage her expectations, and reassure her in those moments of despair. Jenna wants to be that person for you. With amusing candor and wit, Fischer spells out the nuts and bolts of getting established in the profession, based on her own memorable and hilarious experiences. She tells you how to get the right headshot, what to look for in representation, and the importance of joining forces with other like-minded artists and creating your own work—invaluable advice personally acquired from her many years of struggle. She provides helpful hints on how to be gutsy and take risks, the tricks to good auditioning and callbacks, and how not to fall for certain scams (auditions in a guy's apartment are probably not legit—or at least not for the kind of part you're looking for!). Her inspiring, helpful guidance feels like a trusted friend who's made the journey, and has now returned to walk beside you, pointing out the pitfalls as you blaze your own path towards the life of a professional actor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This simple and essential book about the craft of acting describes a technique developed and refined by the authors, all of them young actors, in their work with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, actor W. H. Macy, and director Gregory Mosher. A Practical Handbook for the Actor is written for any actor who has ever experienced the frustrations of acting classes that lacked clarity and objectivity, and that failed to provide a dependable set of tools. An actor's job, the authors state, is to "find a way to live truthfully under the imaginary circumstances of the play." The ways in which an actor can attain that truth form the substance of this eloquent book.
Book Synopsis The Actor's Machine by : David Ihrig
Download or read book The Actor's Machine written by David Ihrig and published by David Ihrig. This book was released on 2014-12 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one become a master actor? How does an actor learn to "live truthfully in imaginary circumstances," and give performances that consist of spontaneous, authentic, and even unconscious behavior? For the first time in history, science provides us with knowledge and diagnostic tools that allow us to explore the skills of acting in a way that was never possible before. For instance, The Actor's Blueprint (adapted from behavioral science models) deconstructs how humans "live truthfully" in everyday life, so you can learn to construct 'truthful living' in your performances. The Actor's Machine teaches actors to use their own natural behavior producing processes in order to experience the life of the character. The results of applying this knowledge have been proven over and over in the acting studio. Try the Directed Focus technique once, and you'll get immediate results. Practice it over time, you'll develop your imagination in very effective ways, and may change the way you experience acting forever. The Actor's Machine will give you the knowledge to get 'out of your head, ' and eliminate 'line readings' and stale predictable performances. Armed with simple principles of human behavior, actors cut their learning curves and discover new ways to work with themselves immediately. This book will help actors develop the mindset of a master actor right now. You can't send emails from a typewriter. Why not explore the most progressive approach to acting available today?
Book Synopsis A Dream of Passion by : Lee Strasberg
Download or read book A Dream of Passion written by Lee Strasberg and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1988-10-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The definitive source book on acting.”—Los Angeles Times Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Hopper, Robert DeNiro, Marilyn Monroe, and Joanne Woodward—these are only a few of the many actors training in “Method” acting by the great and legendary Lee Strasberg. This revolutionary theory of acting—developed by Stanislavski and continued by Strasberg—has been a major influence on the art of acting in our time. During his last decade, Strasberg devoted himself to a work that would explain once and for all what The Method was and how it worked, as well as telling the story of its development and of the people involved with it. The result is a masterpiece of wisdom and guidance for anyone involved with the theater in any way. “A must for young actors—for old ones, too, for that matter.”—Paul Newman “An exploration of the creative process that will reward all who are interested in the nature of inspiration.”—Library Journal “An important cultural document.”—Booklist

Download or read book The Reality Of Hollywood written by Benjamin Schnau and published by via tolino media. This book was released on 2022-04-09 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I want to share my story with you as I know that many people are out there who have the same dream and desire to become an established successful actor or actress in Hollywood. For all these people out there I want to make clear that this journey you might want to take by leaving your hometown, city, or even country won’t be easy, even more challenging the longer you live here. This book is the reality of Hollywood, the truth of what I experienced, and most importantly a way of how you can go about it. For every person, the way might be different but the things I lived will happen to all of you in one way or another. This book is not written by someone who is just at the very top of the mountain looking down praising that working hard and being persistent gets you there. Although this book will take these attributes which are important but will break them down into single pieces of what needs to be done for a completely new person in Los Angeles starting from scratch and climbing up the ladder to get where they want to be. It doesn’t matter where you are from, how you look, or what language you speak. I believe there is a place for everyone in Hollywood, you just have to play your cards right and be true to yourself at all times.

Now the Actor shares that wisdom with aspiring actors. What does it take to become the best actor one can be. This is a book for an Actor looking to push themselves in their craft or to grow to the next level of discipline in their acting journey. To make them feel not so alone and a reminder that when you are not acting, there is plenty to work to be done. For the Director it is a glimpse into what it is like to be on the other side of being directed. Are you collaborating with the Actor or are you treating them as a "meat puppet". For the Coach or Instructor, are you giving critiques or criticisms to your students? Check in with your leadership style; are your students depleted or inspired?
