For any aspiring screen actor, the challenge is to combine all the components of your craft with an ability to handle the technical demands of acting for the camera within the often bewildering environment of a film set.

  • How to approach the script and prepare your character
  • How to maintain your concentration and learn to relax on set

  • How to master continuity, eye lines, and hitting your marks
  • How to tackle auditions to ensure your best chance of getting the job

Full of invaluable advice, extracts from screenplays, numerous illustrations and practical exercises – which can be undertaken on your own, using the camera on your phone – this book is an accessible and authoritative guide to developing a successful career as a screen actor.
