ACTING FACE TO FACE~ NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK

Well, if you've been waiting for Acting: Face to Face to come out in paperback, the wait is over. Of course you can still get the ebook from Amazon. 

However, if you're like me…you know, one of those people who really likes to hold a real book in their hands, marking all over it, making notes and then feel it resting on your chest while you nap… then you you want the paperback version. 

It took almost 6 weeks to have this book formatted to the publishing specs of CreateSpace. Like a  good movie it was filled with many unforeseen twists and turns, but now the journey is over (Well..this part at least). 

For a limited time  you can get your copy for 30% off the list price from my Amazon CreateSpace eStore.

'Acting: Face to Face' offers a refreshingly practical approach to on-camera acting.
Sudol bypasses the typical-of-other-books-on-acting vagueness and carefully explains to the reader areas of focus in which all on-camera actors should be versed. For example, previous methods of acting instruction have only focused on voice and body work, but...

The face is the key!! Great resource for on-camera acting! May 20, 2013
By Shamose
Format:Kindle Edition
This book has given me wonderful insight on my acting for the camera. I didn't really understand why I wasn't getting called back often enough especially with my many years of stage experience.

Andy Serkis is Fluent in the Language of the Face

Learning to speak and interpret the Language of the Face is one of the most important skills in an actor's tool bag. Without the ability to express the internal state of your character in a recognizable and accurate way, there is no performance. This is important for every style of performance and motion capture is the next frontier where actors with mastery of the Language of the Face are in high demand.

You may not know him by name, but there is a good chance that you have seen Andy Serkis perform in the last ten years. With lead roles in many hit movies of the last decade, he is one actor you may know and love without ever seeing his face.

Andy Serkis gives life to computer generated creatures and characters through the use of motion capture technology. He specializes in delivering subtle and recognizable facial expressions, a skill that he has put to great use while playing characters like Gollum from The Lord of the Rings and Ceasar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Let's take a look at how he works and hear his own words on the subject of acting and motion capture.








Not only is he a motion capture specialist, but he is also a well respected actor with an impressive body of work on both stage and film. Andy Serkis is a perfect example of how important understanding the Language of the Face is to us as actors and performers of all kinds. Andy Serkis is fluent in the Language of the Face and it has made his career.
