Book Synopsis Acting for Movies and TV -The Technique - by : Hugo N. Arturi
Download or read book Acting for Movies and TV -The Technique - written by Hugo N. Arturi and published by Hugo N Arturi. This book was released on with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Arturi explaining to young people “The Content of the Book” Mr. Arturi: you will learn the technique that I and the great Hollywood actors mentioned on the cover and others use to create a character for a movie and how to enter to work in the world of movies without complications. This technique is used by these actors and approved by the audience. They briefly and partially describe their techniques in the program "Inside the Actors Studio" on Bravo Channel, where you can watch the videos at any time. I explain you the technique in a very easy way, with all the essential elements and many details that they don't mention. You learn to express the true feelings of your character in a movie, and not to fake them, screaming and/or with voluminous gestures as taught in many acting schools. You’ll learn the technique from A to Z; that is, A is when you start reading the book, and Z is at the end of your training when you'll be ready to act the protagonist in a professional movie. Guaranteed! THE WARRANTY While you are training, you can watch the interviews of the actors and verify if it's what they comment. You don’t need acting experience, just an inexpensive camcorder, the book and the desire to become a professional actor, that's it. My students say that the exercises are entertaining, fun and very easy to learn; you just read and shoot the practice scenes. The ideal is to make an acting / filming team; it takes 3 people, 2 in front of the camera and one shooting the scene and you go rotating positions. Also, I explain you an easy way to shoot scenes, as you see in the movies, that even a child can do it. Mr. Arturi adds: VERY IMPORTANT: my system allows you to learn the technique without a teacher, I give you the elements for self-control and correction; the "why" and "how" to do it is explained in the chapter "The John Travolta Test”. A student: What do I do after learning the technique? How do I become a professional actor? Mr. Arturi: In it I explain you the ESSENTIAL steps to enter the world of movies and be a successful actor; and MOST IMPORTANTLY, how to avoid the setbacks that inexperience could bring, and prevent you from spending years wandering and hoping for success. It takes years for new actors to gain the experience that you will gain in no time learning this technique. Mr. Arturi concludes: In my book you will not find stories, anecdotes, metaphors, unrelated issues or useless exercises to "entertain", which is what you find in most books on the same subject that authors use as "book fillers", and in acting schools as “hour fillers" for lack of a solid technique to teach. If you want or dream of being a professional actor, my book gives you all the elements to achieve it. Guaranteed! (But it’s up to you) Mr. Arturi’s challenge: find in the world an acting school or a book that offers 25% of the material contained in my book, you will not find it. Mr. Arturi: if you don't want to be a professional actor, but you would like to learn the technique, you can use it as the base of a game to play with friends, some of my students like to do, and they say it is a very funny game to play. Later your team will get in contact with other groups created in schools and universities to compete. This idea is developed in the chapter "My dream". Mr. Arturi’s conclusion: you learn the real Hollywood movie acting technique, save a lot of money, not waste years in acting schools or workshops, and you work as a professional actor in a short amount of time. Q: Why your book with such important content is so inexpensive? Mr. Arturi: I wrote it for various reasons: for my love to teaching, to young people and to movie acting, NOT TO MAKE MONEY; and also to help young people not to lose years in school and go into debt with creditors to pay courses, and for others to use the technique as a healthy fun game. Inside the book you have my email address to ask me questions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on New York City-based actors and comedians who are self-acknowledged heroin users. Barry Spunt examines a number of hypotheses about the reasons why actors and comedians use heroin as well as the impact of heroin on performance, creativity, and career trajectory. A primary concern of the book is the role that subculture and identity play in helping us to understand the heroin use of these entertainers. Spunt captures the voices of actors and comedians through narrative accounts from a variety of secondary sources. He also examines how New York-based films about heroin relate to the major themes of his research.
