5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible for screen actors, 14 Sep 1999

By A Customer

This book is a must for all those interested in screen acting (film and TV)or screen directing. It is the book of choice used by the Rising Stars (screen stars of the future in training at Ace Star Managements studio). Screen acting is considrably different to stage acting and this book covers all of the differences. As a director, I just wish all actors would read this book. Buy it and you will not be disapointed, but dont show it to many people or you will never have it when you want it. The only down side is that if you are into stage acting and not screen this is not for you, it is very much screen based.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget what you've heard before!, 15 Dec 1998

By A Customer

Tucker takes the myths about screen acting, spun time and again by Hollywood's own, and challenges them directly. Forget what you've heard about acting for the screen being more like real life. Don't beleive it when someone tells you that you have to "do less" for the screen. It only took a little critical viewing after reading this book to realize that this guy was right! That's why my acting teacher uses it as a class text. If you're serious about pursuing a career acting on the screen, then this book is essential reading.
