Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congratulations! You got the part! Now what? Many actors of all levels find it challenging to apply classroom and studio techniques to the rehearsal process. Rehearsing for a class is vastly different than a professional situation, and a consistent, practical, and constructive method is needed to truly bring to life vibrant and intricate characters. Building a Performance: An Actor's Guide to Rehearsal provides tools and techniques through different stages of the rehearsal process to enable actors to make more dynamic choices, craft complex characters, and find an engaging and powerful level of performance. John Basil and Dennis Schebetta bring decades of acting and teaching experience to help actors apply the skills they learned in the classroom directly to the professional rehearsal room or film/television set. They show how to glean distinct choices from early readings of the script, how to add dynamics to their physical and vocal decisions, how to explore interactions with other actors in rehearsal, and how to address specific challenges unique to each role. While students will benefit from the practical applications and advice, intermediate and advanced actors will find exciting and new ways to engage with the material and with other actors at rehearsal. Actors of all levels will gain tips and techniques so that they can continue to discover more about their character. With these tools, actors will be inspired to dig into the text and build a dynamic performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Amateur Theatricals: A Practical Guide for Amateur Actors Another serious fault which frequently puts a damper on an entertainment, is the inexcusable error Of putting Off certain lines of stage business until the night of the performance. If a man in command of an ocean steamer should declare that it would be. Time enough to learn navigation after he got Out of sight of land, people would call him a lunatic; yet amateurs act in a similar way when they go through rehearsal after rehearsal, leaving important stage business until the last night. And finally we have that unmitigated nuisance, the stumb ling actor, who is never up in his lines, gives eng cues, and, over and again, throws an entire scene into confusion. Such a man, no matter how great his natural ability may he, should be dropped without ceremony. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Esper, one of the most celebrated acting teachers of our time, takes us through his step-by-step approach to the central challenge of advanced acting work: creating and playing a character. Esper’s first book, The Actor’s Art and Craft, earned praise for describing the basics taught in his famous first-year acting class. The Actor’s Guide to Creating a Character continues the journey. In these pages, co-author Damon DiMarco vividly re-creates Esper’s second-year course, again through the experiences of a fictional class. Esper’s training builds on Sanford Meisner’s legendary exercises, a world-renowned technique that Esper further developed through his long association with Meisner and the decades he has spent training a host of distinguished actors. His approach is flexible enough to apply to any role, helping actors to create characters with truthful and compelling inner lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Produce Amateur Plays: A Practical Manual This book aims to supply the demand for a simple guide to the production of plays by amateurs. During the past five years a few manuals have appeared touching upon the subject, but these deal either with theoretical and educational, or else with limited and, from the practical viewpoint, unessential aspects of the question. In the present manual the author has attempted an eminently practical work, which may be used by those who have little or no knowledge of producing plays or any of the numerous problems arising in this connection. The book is not altogether limited in its appeal merely to producers; the actors themselves and others having to do with amateur producing will find it helpful.
