5.0 out of 5 stars
Invaluable!,
This review is from: Hitting Your Mark (Paperback)
My hat is off to Steve Carlson for sharing with fellow actors and aspiring actors the 1 thing that is most effective: experience. Every lesson, every helpful hint is backed by a story or an example. This is by far the most pracical and inspired instructive tool to come out in a while. It suprasses every "acting for camera" book on the market, because not only does the reader share in Mr. Carlson's lifetime of experiences, but also the author's passion for acting, and dedication to his craft. Unlike so many discouraging and pragmatic "handbooks" out there, this has an undercurrent of excitement along with the realism. The actor finishes the book feeling energized, not dejected. Practicality, experience, and encouragement. Steve Carlson's book is invaluable!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely fabulous!,
By Emilita Lolita (Los Angeles, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hitting Your Mark (Paperback)
I was completely spellbound when I first read this book-I did not think such a thing existed! I recommend it for anyone breaking into the film acting field or people who have already been introduced to film acting. The book is valuable to all. There are so few places to learn the fundamentals of acting on a film set, yet it is so important to learn these things before actually...acting on a film set. Hitting Your Mark delivered solid information and Steve Carlson should be greatly commended for his contribution to the world of acting.

This is a dream for both actors and casting directors.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hitting Your Mark (Paperback)
As a Casting Director, I am constantly in need of actors I know can do the job. Clients are not going to be particularly pleased with an actor if he has to have the film process explained to him on the set. Steve Carlson's book; "Hitting Your Mark" is the only source I know of for an actor to learn about the set and filming process from an actor's point of view, before they actually do it. A very needed addition to the new film actors library. Plus, as an actor myself, one of the thoughts that occurred to me while reading "Hitting Your Mark" is that it's a great reminder of the filming process for actors who have been away from the set for a few years. It brings the reality of it all back very clearly. I enjoyed it greatly.Danny Goldman Actor/Casting Director
