A founding member of Peter Brook’s international theatre company, Yoshi Oida infuses his acting and directing with the artistry of the Oriental traditions and a mastery of Western forms. In this disarmingly accessible study of the art of acting he shares his unique experience and range of expertise. An Actor’s Tricks offers a meticulous scrutiny of the actor’s preparation for performance and comes with a foreword by Peter Brook.

Drawing on an unrivalled wealth and range of expertise in the fields of acting, directing and training, Yoshi Oida and Lorna Marshall provide an authoritative and fascinating study of the art of the actor.

In scrutinising the process of performance from the twin perspectives of the actor and director, An Actor’s Tricks is filled with hints, insights and stories from productions with Peter Brook and from around the world.

Beginning with the daily preparation to train the body, it moves to the process of rehearsal for a performance right up to the moment when the actor steps onstage. An appendix of practical exercises is included for the actor to follow.

The books combines principles and techniques from both Western and Eastern disciplines of acting to provide a masterful study essential for every actor and director.

Stanislavski’s ‘system’ has dominated actor-training in the West since his writings were first translated into English in the 1920s and 30s. His systematic attempt to outline a psycho-physical technique for acting single-handedly revolutionized standards of acting in the theatre.

Until now, readers and students have had to contend with inaccurate, misleading and difficult-to-read English-language versions. Some of the mistranslations have resulted in profound distortions in the way his system has been interpreted and taught. At last, Jean Benedetti has succeeded in translating Stanislavski’s huge manual into a lively, fascinating and accurate text in English. He has remained faithful to the author’s original intentions, putting the two books previously known as An Actor Prepares and Building A Character back together into one volume, and in a colloquial and readable style for today’s actors.

The result is a major contribution to the theatre, and a service to one of the great innovators of the twentieth century.

This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by the director Richard Eyre.

This is the first book in the series of short one to three-minute exercises for young actors. This first volume contains one hundred eleven scenes of different levels of difficulty for actors as young as six years old to late teens and young adults.

Each generation deserves its own voice. Therefore, in contrast to other acting books written for teens by adults, this book was written by their peer.

Each scene is provided with a b-code that describes for what age range and gender identification it is suitable to be performed. Scenes were constructed in a way that it would be easy for the young actor to perform them with their acting coach, parent or colleague.

All scenes are formatted according to the standard script formatting guidelines.

The paper version of this book is intentionally printed on non-glossy paper and is meant to be scribbled on. Please make it your own, take it with you to your acting lesson, and put your thoughts and findings in pencil or ink.

Please note that this book is published not-for-profit the collection is provided in electronic form to patrons so they can support the website https://www.bcacting.com.

At the time of publishing (October 2023) All of scenes in this book can be downloaded for free from the official website https://www.bcacting.com where they were originally published between April and September 2023.

“Your Dog Ate My Shoe” is a citation from one of the very first scenes written for this book. The subtitle of the book “Etudes For Young Actors Op. 1” is inspired by music books, étude in French means an exercise, and opus is a collection of works. As actors use their bodies as an instrument to perform truthful emotions, there’s no better subtitle that I could imagine.

Understand the business side of your showbiz career 

We all know acting can be a glittering whirl of glamour—plush red carpets, simply divine outfits, huge sums of money, and oh, the parties! But what a lot of wannabe actors forget is that it takes a lot of practical work to get to the flashbulbs of your first premiere, and that the savviest actors put as much stress on the business side of the profession as they do on the show. Breaking Into Acting For Dummies demystifies the behind-the-curtain side of showbiz to help you understand how it really works, who the decision-makers are, what they’re looking for when they’re picking talent, and how to get them on your side. If you truly want to be the next Emma Stone or Leonardo DiCaprio, you’ll want to have a well-thumbed copy of this book alongside your pile of scripts.   

Written by two friendly insiders, this guide takes you behind the scenes to help you map out your plan of attack, showing you how to open doors—and keep them open—and use your time wisely, so you’re not breaking a leg rushing from one random audition to another. You’ll understand how to flesh out your professional persona as thoroughly as a movie part, craft your resume as minutely as a script, and judge the angle of your headshots and webcam appearances as intimately as any director. Once you’ve mastered these skills, it’s time to go to market as your own publicity department, building your media and online presence until everyone who’s anyone knows exactly who you are.   

• Understand different acting markets—from theater to commercials 
• Network in-person and online 
• Build your image via resumes, head shots, and webcam 
• Keep a firm grip on the financial side 

Whether you’re studying, a hopeful amateur, or have been treading the boards for a while, this is your breakthrough script for succeeding in the business of acting, and for learning how to play your ultimate role: yourself.

Do you want to achieve your full potential as an actor?

Discover how to apply “deliberate practice”–a type of practice used by top performers around the world–to turn your weaknesses into strengths.

We all know that becoming a great actor requires hard work, but what specific actions will help you get better?

Perhaps you have spent years taking acting classes without any noticeable improvement.

Or maybe your acting did improve for a while, but you don’t know how to make further progress.

This lack of clarity is likely to lead to dissatisfaction and a decline in your enthusiasm for the craft.

After all, nobody goes into acting aiming for mediocrity.

If this sounds familiar, psychology can help.

For many years, psychologists have been studying the process by which those dedicated to their craft achieve mastery.

The biggest reveal of this exploration has been “deliberate practice,” a process through which you can turn your weaknesses into strengths.

The impact of deliberate practice has been demonstrated by a wide variety of top performers, including athletes, musicians, and chess masters.

Excellence for Actors is the first book to explore the application of deliberate practice to acting. Reading this book will provide you with a new level of clarity about how to reach your full potential.

As you will learn, achieving excellence is not just about hard work, but also about taking the right actions with the right amount of dedication.

Read this book and discover:

• How to achieve mastery over any aspect of your craft
• How to turn your weaknesses into strengths
• How to avoid mediocrity and achieve excellence
• The mistakes actors make when trying to improve
• Practical tools you can use straight away

Short enough to read in an afternoon, yet jam-packed with practical advice, Excellence for Actors will give you the clarity you need to reach your full potential.

Building a successful acting career requires resilience.

Whether going to auditions, applying to drama school, or battling unemployment, you must be able to bounce back from setbacks and keep going.

Resilient actors benefit from the “familiarity effect:” the more industry professionals see you, the more they like you, and the more opportunities you get.

But how do you keep going despite repeated setbacks? How do you shake off the painful feelings that arise and get back in the game with a healthy mindset?

Encountering a setback changes your brain chemistry, which depletes your energy and affects your state of mind.

Repeated setbacks can have a cumulative effect, making it harder to bounce back and take on new challenges.

Fortunately, psychologists have studied these negative effects and developed a range of powerful techniques to avoid falling down this slippery slope.

Resilience for Actors distills these psychological insights specifically for actors using clear and jargon-free language.

Whether you got knocked back after delivering an amazing audition, or recently got fired from an acting job, this book provides you with the tools to bounce back and go after the next opportunity with optimism and enthusiasm.

Read this book and discover:

• How to deal with rejection in a positive way
• How to recover from disappointment
• How to stop the vicious cycle of despair
• Mindset hacks to turn failure into success
• Practical tools you can use straight away

Short enough to read in an afternoon, yet jam-packed with practical advice, Resilience for Actors will help you overcome any setback and find your inner strength.
