5.0 out of 5 stars Get this book! An actors bible to camera work, March 4, 2005
By 
This review is from: Auditioning and Acting for the Camera: Proven Techniques for Auditioning and Performing in Film, Episodic Tv, Sitcoms, Soap Operas, Commercials, and Industrials (Career Development Series) (Paperback)
This is a terrific book. Acting is a craft, so like any other craft it has it's changes. It should come as no surprise that there are growing number of facets where knowledge can give you an edge. No actor can be expected to know everything. Enter John Shepard. Here's a book that spells out the variety of camera work out there. Should you find yourself up for a commercial, industrial, creating CD Roms, Soap Opera, film, or episodic TV, Shepard has a chapter on each one. Everything, from what you wear to the details of auditioning techniques, is laid out. Do you expect to be working on location? Shepard tells you what you can expect as well as what's expected of you. There are sample scripts, scenes to practice and exercises to sharpen your skills. This book is full of good stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Things I wish I had known for 20 years, September 10, 2007
By 
This review is from: Auditioning and Acting for the Camera: Proven Techniques for Auditioning and Performing in Film, Episodic Tv, Sitcoms, Soap Operas, Commercials, and Industrials (Career Development Series) (Paperback)
As a "working actor" I wish I had known 20 years ago even 1 of these techniques or pieces of information. It would have changed my career. John Shepard's book is beyond informative -its a miracle.

This was an experiment for our son and his interest in home video antics. He is always interested in learning new things
