Produktbeschreibung

Introduction:
What is theater? What is drama? What makes someone a good actor? What does theater look like around the world and how did it evolve? This book combines a classic handbook for young actors with a modern ‘classic’ youtube channel that seeks to cover the essential aspects of theater’s evolution from its earliest days in Greece and Egypt to Broadway musicals and everything in between. 
Neither of these two sources about drama and the theater is or claims to be perfect or to cover every aspect of what is a huge topic but in combination they provide the essential foundation for a new actor or anyone seriously interested in understanding what it means to be a true actor and how acting became the pinnacle of expertise in talent aspired to by the best of Hollywood and a profession that has been viewed with distrust and contempt by many societies governments throughout history.
Acting is a skill that is useful for many in terms of building confidence, becoming more creative, developing beyond sympathy to empathy and developing the ability to communicate more effectively verbally and non verbally. It takes many years and a lot of effort to make a good actor; and perhaps even longer to develop the additional skills of singing and dancing to cover the full gamut of what many actors are required to do and do well. This volume offers a first step in putting you the reader on the right path to becoming an actor. The rest is up to you.
