74 The Ultimate Young Actors Guide by CINDY MARCUS Getting the role and making it shine Paperback: $19.95 (128 pages) Order #R-B324 Former Disney film screenwriter Cindy Marcus offers all of her experience to young actors seeking a career or just wanting to land a role in the school play. She directs a national teenage drama camp known as Showdown which inspires young actors to reach their full potential. The techniques of how to audition, how to approach a role, how to survive the rehearsal process and more are all explained in detail. But most important is self-exploration: knowing who you are. This is done through insights from many famous actors and directors. To fully integrate what is learned, there are theatre games in each chapter relating to each aspect of acting technique. Chapters include: Who Are You?, The Sixth Senses, Auditioning, You Got the Part!, Cindy’s Approach to a Role, Acting from the Outside In, Acting through Song, Acting through Dance, Rehearsals, Performance and more. Acting for Life by JACK FRAKES A textbook on acting Paperback: $19.95 (312 pages) Order #R-B281 Of all the arts, drama – with its exploration of human characters and relationships – is closest to everyday life. This textbook emphasizes this connection, presenting the fundamentals of drama and acting techniques in the context of ordinary experiences and interactions. The material is arranged sequentially especially with the drama teacher in mind. Subjects progress from basic stage and acting terminology, to more advanced lessons on acting theories. Each chapter includes exercises, activities and discussion questions carefully selected to reinforce the text. Excellent for use with both advanced as well as beginning acting students. Five parts including: Basic Acting Skills, Preparing to Perform a Scene, Techniques in Character Development, The Playscript and Film Acting. Acting for Love & Money by PAUL G. GLEASON and GAVIN LEVY Connecting the craft to the industry Paperback: $19.95 (240 pages) Order #R-B313 This collection of seventy-five acting exercises is designed to prepare actors and acting students for a professional career. The exercises were created by the authors with participants of the Paul G. Gleason Theatre in Hollywood. Over 300 hours of recorded sessions were edited to pick the best exercises for developing acting skills. The book is divided into fifteen sections: Acting Is Not a Business, but It Can Be Business-Like; The Audience; Technology and Information for the Actor; Fix Yourself, Then Use Yourself; Sound and Vocal Levels; The Storyteller; A Magnetic Personality; Auditioning; Imagination; The Physical Actor; A State of Being; Eureka!; Creating a World; Mirror Neurons and Intimacy and Confrontation. New! Acting and Theatre Texts Lessons: The Craft of Acting by TOM ISBELL Truthful human behavior on stage and screen Paperback: $19.95 (216 pages) Order #R-B285 Definitely not a “how-to” book! This book articulates the intangible — how to capture lightning in a jar. It works to develop awareness in order to help the aspiring actor evolve, grow and mature as a performer. Acting is an art that comes from oneself - no tricks, no special techniques. Every great artist begins as a craftsman then develops into an artist. Each of the 100 plain-speaking lessons in this book is brief and deals with an essential truth. The book is divided into five sections: Approach, Fundamentals, Classes and Rehearsals, Performance and Final Lessons. This is not a traditional textbook. Instead it’s a supplemental work for students and professionals. Funny Business by MARSH CASSADY An introduction to comedy with royalty-free plays and sketches Paperback: $19.95 (336 pages) Order #R-B212 For big laughs, comedy relies on exaggeration, incongruity, automatism, character inconsistency, surprise and derision. Now a book that defines and demonstrates each of these devices with twenty-two short sketches and one-act plays. This overview of high and low comedy defines all comedy genres: absurdism, tragicomedy, farce and melodrama. A discussion precedes each type of comedy illustrated, explaining the comic devices used. The reader will find many insights along the way about how to write and perform each comedy style successfully. The wide variety of scripted drama material included makes the book very user-friendly for teaching, acting practice and performance.
