Download or read book The Art of American Screen Acting 1960 to Today written by Dan Callahan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern screen acting in English is dominated by two key figures: Method acting guru Lee Strasberg--who taught the "the art of experiencing" over "the art of representing"--and English theater titan Laurence Olivier, who once said of the Method's immersive approach, "try acting, it's so much easier." This book explores in detail the work of such method actors as Al Pacino, Ellen Burstyn, Jack Nicholson and Jane Fonda, and charts the shift away from the more internally focused Strasberg-based acting of the 1970s, and towards the more "external" way of working, exemplified by the career of Meryl Streep in the 1980s.

No matter what "they" say, a successful career in the acting profession is actually possible for anyone. The most common reasons most actors don't "make it" are simply that they...- Were unsure where to start or what to do on a daily basis.- Never learned to market, organize, produce, and brand themselves. - Didn't run their careers like a business. - Quit on their dreams assuming they weren't good enough.- Lacked the winning mindset needed to endure the rejections that lead to success. Acting is My Day Job: Seven Strategies to Market and Make Money as an Actor provides actionable strategies to build momentum, capitalize on early success, and build the habits required to establish a lasting acting career. Matthew Dearing delivers the truth about what it takes to be a working actor, leaving no more room for regret and excuses."The brutal truth - talent, good looks and desire aren't enough. You must develop strategies to monetize doing what you LOVE. Every actor should read and re-read this book." - JEREMY A. LOPEZ PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER, VANGELIS FILMS

Download or read book ACTing Now written by Norman B. Schwartz and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this controversial book, Norman B. Schwartz suggests that many of the conventional training techniques that have come down to us from the American and British theater may not fully prepare today ́s working actor for the special requirements of the market place where the actor is the seller asked by an agent or casting director to self-tape an audition for the buyer-a producer or director-whom the actor may never get to meet unless he or she is hired. Mr. Schwartz proposes a new method that encompasses all the previous schools of training but expands them to suggest a better way for the actor to get the job and hold on to it on-set in the real and demanding world of film, television, and commercials. Here's your chance to learn from someone who was THERE!
