Do you know a teen that’s been bitten by the acting bug? Here’s just the book they need! “Acting for Young Actors”, aimed at teens and tweens, lets kids hone their skills and develop their craft. It begins with the five W’s: Who am I? What do I want? Why do I want it? Where am I? When does this event take place? Sounds basic – but many young child actors are told simply to “get up there and act.” This book explores each of these questions, using helpful exercises to allow young actors to work through problems of character identity and motivation. With comprehensive chapters on auditioning, rehearsal, and improvisation, plus a primer on how young actors can break into film, theatre, and television, “Acting for Young Actors” is every kid’s ticket to the big time. It is aimed at teens age 12-18, and is written in a full accessible style.

I did not read it, as it was for my grandson. I could not find a similar publication in English rather than American.

Bought for my Great Nephew in the States. A quick scan before putting it in the post leads me to think this is a very good introduction to the theory of acting. Hopefully, when he gets his first Oscar he’ll keep me within the style I’ve grown accustomed to.

This book is a must-have for every budding actor in their youth. I found many of the passages in it useful and helpful. The very important bit’s were getting into the role for me, but it wouldn’t be very useful for people in their teens who wish to be an actor when they’re OLDER, (it’s more of a child star’s guide). Apart from that you could find some very useful acting tips in this, and there is some very useful advice on the business of acting!
