A Screen Acting Workshop

Mel Churcher,

About this book

A comprehensive training course in screen acting by an internationally renowned teacher and acting coach who has worked with actors of all backgrounds and experience – from drama school students at the start of their careers to Hollywood stars, including Daniel Craig, Angelina Jolie and Keira Knightley.

Mel Churcher has developed a series of five workshops which take actors step by step through the process of creating, developing and delivering assured performances on screen. Accompanied by ninety minutes of online film clips, showing all of the work in action, this book builds on these workshops and lets you progress through them at your own pace:

Workshop 1: Keeping the Life encourages you to find what is unique about yourself and how you can preserve this vitality when acting on screen
Workshop 2: Inhabiting the Role focuses on the emotional and psychological steps required in preparing your performance
Workshop 3: The Physical Life introduces a series of practical exercises to develop the physicality and imagination of the actor
Workshop 4: Through the Eye of the Camera explains the technical skills you must master to act in front of a lens
Workshop 5: Off to Work We Go covers how to prepare for auditions and then how to handle specific challenges when you get the job

Each exercise, technique and tip is vividly illustrated in online film clips taken from the author's actual workshops. The result is a vital masterclass in every aspect of acting on screen.

Foreword by Jeremy Irons.

'When the whole business seems to have gone loopy, dip into Mel Churcher's book; somehow she always makes sense' Bob Hoskins
