What is Secrets of Screen Acting about?

__Secrets of Screen Acting,__ Fourth Edition, is a step-by-step guide to the elements of successful screen acting. When it was first published in 1993, __Secrets of Screen__ __Acting__ broke new ground in explaining how acting for the camera is different from acting on stage. Reaction time is altered, physical timing and placement are reconceived, and the proportions of the digital frame itself become the measure of all things, so the director must conceptualize each image in terms of this new rectangle and actors must 'fit' into the frame. Based on a revolutionary non-Method approach to acting, this book shows what actually works: how an actor, an announcer, or anyone working in front of the cameras can maximise the effectiveness of their performances on screen. This fourth edition is completely updated to cover new techniques, film references, and insights, including: * Updated information on vocal work outside acting, such as audiobooks and voice-overs. * Guidance on the technique of "whisper acting." * New information about working with video games, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and other non-traditional forms of screen work. * Updated guidance on self-taping auditions. * Coverage
