Summary:
Drama school hopefuls who use this book to supplement their training
will find themselves on an inside track previously available only to
students of the very best professional drama coaches. The author, a
retired successful actor on the London stage and currently a renowned
drama teacher, presents a variety of effective tutorials that focus
on voice, movement, text, and the understanding of character. His
instruction relies extensively on the time-proven Alexander
technique, an exercise regimen for ridding oneself of detrimental
bodily tensions and developing a sense of physical grace and balance.
Followed precisely, his tutorials will equip acting students with the
wide array of skills they need to pass that elusive audition that
gets their career off to a successful start. They focus on preparing
monologues, understanding the differences between comic and tragic
acting, researching character, working with accents, and much more.
In addition, author Jona Howl advises on maintaining health and
vitality through exercise and diet, and gives tips on developing
positive mental attitudes. The text is supplemented with more than
350 instructive illustrations.
