I am a trained and experienced actor who has ventured into Directing and have found the book deadly accurate about what is going on for actors on a film or TV set. From the first script read-through to working on the shoot ... Read More
Rating: - Buy this book now!
If you are even thinking that this book might be of some interest to you, I can assure you it will change the way you work -- all for the good. Weston has boiled down and focused the art of getting a performance in a clear and brilliant manner. What else can I say, why are you still reading this - buy it. Simple.
Rating: - Simple techniques that WORK!
Judith Weston has outlined for the director (of any performance, not just film) quick and effective ways to communicate and elicit the performance you want... at the very least, you will get something different.

This book isn't just for directors. It is an invaluable resource for actors as well.

That, in a nutshell, is "lending the character ... Read More
Rating: - the best book on directing actors
This book teaches the most important skill a director can possess: getting great performances from actors.
She breaks things down into logical bits and helps you avoid many common mistakes directors make, such as giving unplayable directions, giving too many directions, talking too much, etc.
She writes with wisdom, insight, and humor.
If you're a director or a wannabe director, do the world a favor and read this book so the world has better performances to watch.
