5.0 out of 5 stars A necessary book for any working actor, especially for the screen!, 6 Sep 2009

By	E. L. Yates (Inverness, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am just about to go into a film for the first time and I found that Tony Barr's book was an essential help. He explains in great detail about the film set and what to expect. I can now walk in to the set for the first time with some confidence and really create a great character on screen. The set wont be a scary place any more and I will be able to keep up with all the, 'lingo'.

I love that Tony also addresses the all important need of acting. He could of sold a book purely on his first section. I recommend any actor to buy this book purely for that section alone!! On top of this you are given a fantastic set of exercises to practice to truly understand the principles he talks about.

This is an acting book primarily and a good one at that. It truly bridges the gap between theatre and camera acting and helps you understand all genres. It personally tells you everything that you could expect when walking in front of the camera for the first time.

Truly recommended. If you have any doubt about it - GET IT!!! Then you can make your own mind up :-)

First Rate,

Eamon Yates
