Acting for Film vs. Theatre – It’s Not as Complex as You Think! By Sean Pratt

Submitted by Andy on Sun, 2010-08-08 14:21.

Scores of books have been written on how acting for the camera is different from acting in the theatre. Many of them are filled with ideas which create the impression that the two somehow demand a special kind of method. This is a false notion that only confuses actors as they try to work in these two mediums. The real differences lie not in acting method but in technique. Here are three basic ideas on how to understand and approach working in front of the camera.

Actor’s Monologue Books – Treasure Trove or Booby Trap? By Sean Pratt

Submitted by Andy on Sun, 2010-07-11 16:56.

When looking through monologue books for new audition material, be aware of their potential pitfalls.

You’re searching for new material for your theatre monologue portfolio and while at your local bookstore you stumble across one of the countless “monologues for actors” collections that line the shelves. The pieces are neatly arranged by type, style and age group and, at first glance, you can easily see yourself performing several of them. But beware! If you don’t do the necessary work these compilations can be a trap that may embarrass you and ruin your next audition.
