YA-- Sound, no-nonsense advice about professionalism and preparation as well as insight into the life of the professional actor. Whelan takes his business seriously, and his pointed advice about being on time and being well prepared is valuable to anyone who thinks all performers are temperamental and self-centered. Clearly, succinctly, and in a conversational style, he addresses such topics as preparing the voice and body, creating emotions, interpreting the script, using objects, and rehearsing. The book also makes clear and useful distinctions between acting for the camera and acting on stage. A 24-page section consists of interviews with film crew members such as the gaffer and the key grip. Through this book, beginners will be well on the way to understanding how to develop a character, while experienced thespians will find useful details about technique and a clear, realistic idea of what to expect from life on the stage.
