Drawing on his lifetime career in front of the camera (and sometimes behind it); Denis Lawson offers a wonderfully accessible introduction to acting for film and TV. For the young actor hoping to break into the industry #150; whether in a drama series; soap or sitcom #150; this book is the ultimate insider#8217;s guide. The author takes us on a guided tour of the film or TV set from day one. We meet the various members of the crew; from the director of photography to the 1st; 2nd and 3rd ADs; and learn what each of them does #150; and how to get the most from them in your work as an actor. Then comes the actual business of shooting the scenes; beginning with readthroughs and rehearsals (if there are any); on to hitting your mark and getting your eye-line right; finishing with the actor#8217;s involvement in post-production. Throughout; Lawson takes the actor#8217;s point of view; offering encouragement and enlightenment; as well as being refreshingly candid about some of the more inane procedures. Above all; he offers a magnificent array of tips and inside knowledge for coping with what can be a daunting experience for a hopeful young actor. #145;Denis is a great actor and he#8217;s always been my inspiration; since I was a child#133; He#8217;s the only person really in the world who I discuss acting with if I feel that I#8217;m stuck. I love watching him still.#8217; Ewan McGregor

Waste of moneyBy DannyI bought this item for my kindle; hoping it would have phantom of the opera sheet music in it.first; i do not like the summary; because it names a few songs then says "and many more". there is no list of songs; to tell you if the song you wanted was in it.so i bought the item; and opened it. second problem occured when the e-book had a lot of trouble opening.third problem; when it finally did open; it was blurry; small; and you could not read the sheetmusic. you could try to largen the sheet music; but it did nothing.the next day; i called ; and got my money back; because this e-book is a big waste of time; money; and space on the kindle.18 of 22 people found the following review helpful. not goodBy RebeccaIf you want to get a compilation of songs that are wellknown and a bit over done... this is the book for you. However; the songs are not in their original keys; and are not suitable for most formal auditions. futher more; the song selections are not unique... and to find a unique song this book does you no good. DONT BUY THIS BOOK. Everyone has it; and the songs in it are not good.
