Acting: Face to Face 2nd Edition: The Actor’s Guide to Understanding How Your Face Communicates Emotion for TV and Film (Language of the Face Book 1)

Master your facial expressions…

… complete your on-camera training…

…. change your life.

Contrary to popular belief, the camera doesn’t magically place emotion or thought on your face – YOU do.

Here’s the thing about facial communication… your face speaks an emotional, cognitive and emblematic language. Knowing how to speak this language fluently and authentically is a skill and often the difference between booking the on-camera job or not.

Is this you?

• Are you often told your facial expressions are too big, too small, too messy?
• Does your face frequently fail to represent what you’re really feeling inside?
• Do your headshots fail to capture who you really are?
• Is your face uncontrollable – Can’t stop it from moving? Can’t get it to move?
• Are you unable to figure out how to get what you feel and think on your face the way you intend?

Mastering how your face speaks to the camera starts here.

Acting: Face-to-Face, the Actor’s Guide to Understanding How Your Face Communicates Emotion for TV & Film is the first book in a two-book series about speaking what I call, “The Language of the Face.”

Our journey begins with-

• Why only a small percentage of on-camera actors get the majority of the work
• What those actors do differently than the rest
• Why acting is an art of deception and why deception is the key to truthful acting

• The science of emotions –
• The 3 ways emotions are facially expressed
• How to identify your personal emotion creating and revealing strengths and weaknesses
• The 4 steps to achieving “Emotional Alignment”- The balance between what you feel and what your face reveals.
