Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Directing film or television is a high-stakes occupation. It captures your full attention at every moment, calling on you to commit every resource and stretch yourself to the limit; it's the white-water rafting of entertainment jobs. But for many directors, the excitement they feel about a new project tightens into anxiety when it comes to working with actors.In the years since the original edition of Directing Actors was published, the technical side of filmmaking has become much more easily accessible. Directors tell me that dealing with actors is the last frontier--the scariest part and the part they long for--the human part, the place where connection happens.Weston's books help directors scale the heights of the actor-director dynamic, learn the joys of collaborating with actors--and become an "actor's director."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los actores son artistas que deben dejar de ser lo que son -personas- para ser personajes. Es decir, deben abandonar lo poco que saben de si mismos para ser otros de los cuales no saben nada. Es un salto en el vacio. Y permaneceran en la nada hasta rellenarla con informacion. Por ello se preguntan como es mi personaje?; por que hace o dice tal cosa? por que debo hacer esto y no lo otro? Ansiosas preguntas que quieren dar respuesta a la complejidad del alma humana. Los filosofos saben que la actitud de preguntar supone la aparicion de la consciencia. Es eso lo que buscan los actores: dotar de consciencia a sus personajes para hacerlos profundos. Y el director debe ayudarles a superar esta castrante inseguridad u obtendra de ellos resultados artisticamente pobres.
