This book does not downplay or sugar-coat the difficulties and obstacles that you as a budding actor will face - it actually highlights them because it is vital that you form a realistic picture of what you are up against. Knowing just what to expect will save you a lot of disillusionment and misery in the long run. At the same time, this book will arm you with the knowledge and skills that you will need to break into the acting world and land your first film role.
You will learn:
- How to lay the foundation for a successful acting career
- The basic skills you must get under your belt to become an actor
- How to perfect the art of auditioning
- What casting directors look for in an actor
- Whether or not you need an agent
- How to handle rejection
- Why networking is important
Are you teaching an acting class or setting up a school play but don't know where to start?
Acting is a beautiful art that needs to be mastered one step at a time. Going too hard too fast can overwhelm kids, so it is best to start with the basics and work your way to proficiency.
Acting class for beginners will give you a breakdown of what to teach in your elementary acting class from the beginning so that you can gently ease your students into acting and gradually make them fall in love with the class.
