ACTING LIONS
Penny Templeton leaves no stone unturned in her examination of the craft and business of acting. It’s a thoughtful and inspired look into an art which she presents as both a calling and a career, and is a must-read for both beginning and veteran actors. The book covers everything from the history of the craft, technique, development of the actor, and the application of all that artistry in today’s world. She does a remarkable job of showing the evolution of technique from master teachers like Stanislavski and Stella Adler, or Lee Strasberg and Sanford Meisner to her own set of acting exercises that allow the actor to have a structure to their work and process; but to also be released and free within that structure. It’s important because it’s that structure that allows an actor to not only grow as artist, but to feel confident whether in an audition, rehearsal, or performance.
The book also gives a realistic and practical look at the business of acting. It’s a hard and difficult pursuit, but the book offers a concise picture of the various parts of the industry (casting directors, agents, directors, producers) and how to navigate through them. It even goes into the process of being on set breaking down everything from hair and make up, blocking rehearsals and finally shooting. For someone just entering the business that sort of thing can seem overwhelming.
It’s also a good refresher for the working actor as well. An old dog can always learn new tricks. It really is a solid breakdown of the ins and outs of the “job” part of being an actor.
