A TROUBLESHOOTING MANUAL FOR THE MODERN FILM ACTOR: 150 Common Acting Problems And Their Solutions

This book is designed to help actors deal with the day-to-day problems of auditioning and acting in film and television. It’s for those times when you’re at home preparing for a challenging audition, or in your trailer, or on the set, and neither you nor your director can come up with an easy fix. Simply look up the problem in the table of contents and you will find a solution. There are 150 common screen acting problems covered in this book. They include issues with accents, auditions, comedy, crying, emotional preparation, entrances, exits, fight scenes, listening, scene and script breakdown, three-person scenes, and working with the director. Each entry consists of a problem, a diagnosis, a solution and a summary. Most of these entries also include references to scenes from contemporary feature films. Because these scenes are readily available on YouTube, you can not only read about the problems and solutions, you can see them in action.
