Acting for Film

　　"In today's entertainment industry of buff bodies and beautiful faces, it's easy to think that a couple of sit-ups and high cheek bones can create a movie legend," writes film veteran Cathy Haase. However, she adds, what the actor must have are "technique, craft, and a depth of self-knowledge." In Acting for Film, Haase shows actors how to develop all of these, sharing her secrets (developed through years of on-camera work) for creating characters who come alive and who touch the souls of the audience. Readers will also learn how to apply theatrical training to film acting and hone a personal approach to rendering a character. Acting for Film is an essential guide for aspiring performers, acting teachers, and anyone interested in gaining a greater understanding of the craft.
