Audition Acting Technique in OneBy ancientchinesesecretIf you have read many other "Casting" related books. you will find the first couple chapters serve more as a review. As Nancys book contains a lot of quotes taken from various of books and resources when providing the perspective from a casting point of view. (aka. what the Casting Director is looking for. what to expect. how to behave at a session. etc).Whats unique about "Secrets from the Casting Couch" is that Nancy included chapters on how to self-tape Audition. with specific techniques and instructions on the framing and filming of the video.The book also contains chapters on marketing strategies for actors who wants to be constantly be under the Casting Directors radar.Every acting coach has their own way on teaching actors how to breakdown the sides (and scenes) - In the later chapters of the book. Nancy provided her own perspective and exercises for actors on how to effectively breakdown a scene for a winning audition.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
