Acting For Young Actors: The Ultimate Teen Guide Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Do you know a teen that's been bitten by the acting bug? Here's just the book they need! Acting for Young Actors, aimed at teens and tweens, lets kids hone their skills and develop their craft. It begins with the five W's: WHO am I? WHAT do I want? WHY do I want it? WHERE am I? WHEN does this event take place? Sounds basic - but many young child actors are told simply to "get up there and act." This book explores each of these questions, using helpful exercises to allow young actors to work through problems of character identity and motivation. With comprehensive chapters on auditioning, rehearsal, and improvisation, plus a primer on how young actors can break into film, theater, and television, Acting for Young Actors is every kid's ticket to the big time.

This book is a fantastic investment for anyone with any interest in acting. Whether you're an experienced actor or one just starting out, this is a GREAT book--so good, after just one chapter of it, I felt like I had been taking acting classes for years. Written with young adults in mind, this book shows what it means to act and all the things you need to know to become a good actor in a way that is both simple and sophisticated, so it's appropriate for any age. It's a book that you can easily pick up and just read a part of when you need help (but it is fun to read all the way through!) I've learned so much from this book and I can't wait to put it all to use!
This is a great book for all beginning actors. It tells the ins and outs of acting and how to be the person you are acting. It gives great advice on different acting unions and how to select an agent. This is truly a must have for all actors.
Truly the book to get for acting. everything from film to stage auditions to games and technique and stories. Brilliant, never have found anything better.
Bought this book for a student who participated in drama through high school . I taught drama for ten years and this book has some great practical ideas and suggestions for those I interested in acting after high school.
Honestly, if you've taken acting classes and/or taken drama in school, it's a repeat of that. It goes over the very basics, and I learned nothing new in it. I bought it a long time ago as a junior in high school (in which I had taken two drama classes, many school plays, and was VP for thespian society ) and just now noticed I haven't reviewed it, and I would say I only recommend this to say a middle schooler or freshman, someone who is just getting into theater and knows next to nothing. Like I said, very basic book.
Perfect book for young, beginning actors. I gave it to an 11 year old, and she loved it. She read it with an adult, who was very helpful to check for comprehension and explain the areas not understood.
This book and Theater For Young Actors: The Definitive Teen Guideby Walter Williamson have helped me a lot in beggining my acting career. The book will help lead you to become an actor.
Bought this book for a ten-year old who is in acting and loves it.The information in it may be over his head right now, but will bebenefiical to him as he ages.
