Paperback Edition: 4
Secrets of Screen Acting, Fourth Edition, is a step-by-step guide to the elements of successful screen acting.

This book is perfectly suited for Acting for the Screen university courses, actors training on their own, and actors involved in all forms of screen work, including Zoom, Skype, Vox Pops, and more.
