Renee Harmon (Author)

Book Description

May 1994
For parents and their children who dream of breaking into the movies or the lucrative commercial business, this guide demonstrates how to give confidence, polish, and the competitive edge. Based on acting classes for children taught at California State University for over ten years, this book includes easy acting exercises and "on camera" techniques.


Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Harmon's lessons, from session one, "Getting to Know One Another," through the final session, "Auditioning Techniques," prepare the child actor for theater, TV, film, and commercial performances. Her acting lessons move from basic techniques to thinking and characterization skills, including Method acting. Her advice, clearly delineated in a step-by-step format, can be used by teachers, parents, camp directors, agents, or even therapists. Harmon's "Tips to Help the Very Young Child" is particularly useful because in this section she offers advice to redirect the lesson or the activities to meet the abilities and emotional needs of preschoolers. No scenery, prop, or play selection here; Harmon aims strictly for acting classes, and very professional ones at that. Denise Perry Donavin
