Publisher's Summary
When it was first published in 1993, Secrets of Screen Acting broke new ground in explaining how acting for the camera is different from acting on stage. Reaction time is altered, physical timing and placement are reconceived, and the proportions of the digital frame itself become the measure of all things, so the director must conceptualize each image in terms of this new rectangle, and actors must "fit" into the frame. Based on a revolutionary, nonmethod approach to acting, this book shows what actually works: how an actor, an announcer - anyone working in front of the cameras - gives excellent performances on screen.
Instead of starting with what is real and trying to wrestle that onto the screen, Patrick Tucker explains how to work with the realities of a shoot and work from there toward the real. His step by step guide to the elements of effective screen acting is an extension and explanation of a lifetime of work in the field, containing over 50 acting exercises and the tried-and-tested screen acting checklist.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

A must read for before you step on set
AUDIO
The voice actor does a fantastic job reading the book to you. He is clear, not too fast nor slow and most importantly he emphasise the critical parts of the text.
CONTENT
For reference for what i am about to say, i am new to screen acting. I strongly believe all beginner screen actors should read/listen this before going on set for the first time. It teaches you the both how to conduct yourself in the screen acting industry and fine techniques. Many of the things that are discussed are things i had never thought of and what would have taken me years to learn.
It also gives you film/TV time stamps for examples of what is said and gives you exercises to train it with.
Worth every cent
