YA-- This practical guide takes readers through the audition process and gives ideas for successful readings and screen acting techniques. Harmon explores the self-doubts that actors go through and gives guidelines and advice to help overcome them. Exercises for practicing ranges of emotions are given. There is a long chapter on how to package oneself and achieve a particular look. In the final chapters, the information is presented with children in mind, but the concepts can be used by anyone. Here, aspiring actors learn about agents, contractual obligations, unions, and acting classes. Students in the performing arts and people who wish to enter the acting field will find this book extremely helpful.
