Summary: The approach in the book works for the theater as well.
Review: Although the title is "Acting for the Camera", if I were to teach Shakespeare for the theater I would start in the same place: stop acting, start listening; keep it simple, without loss of passion. The only difference for the stage is in the distance of communication. On camera, it's only to the other actor. On stage, it's through the other actor to the back row of the theater. The basics are the same! This approach simplifies the whole acting process without any loss of performance values, and results in greater performance truth, which makes it easier for the audience to make an emotional investment in the performance.

Imperative, if your going to put yourself out there day after day.Sylvia Lord NYC

Summary: Informative but Biased
Review: Mr. Barr's book is very informative and provides valuable information on the mechanics of acting in film or television. However, he has an obvious bias against theater. He consistently implies that theater actors are unable to create realistic performances. He refers to theater actors having to do without the "glamour" of theater when on a sound stage. Someone please tell me where this theater with all the glamour is..I've only been on the ones where there's hard work.He educates the poor shallow theater actors with such elementary concepts as that when one plays an evil character, one should not only play the character as "evil." I learned that in high school. He also devotes a whole chapter to the unrealistic notion that an untrained actor would be asked to do a stunt on film or television. Good technical information for those unfamiliar with the film process, but he has an axe to grind.
