In this candid and empowering A to Z of being an actor, Julie Hesmondhalgh draws on her decades of experience on stage and screen including in massively popular television shows such as Broadchurch, Happy Valley and Coronation Street to lift the lid on the realities of life in todays industry, and show you how to navigate it.She shares practical advice on preparing for roles (dont be afraid of looking like a dick), managing the ups and downs of your career (and how to be out of work without losing your mind), dealing with failure (and success), not constantly comparing yourself to others (bloody hard, but try), looking after your mental health, and the power of knowing when to say no.Passionate about the arts, she makes a compelling case for their importance to society, but also calls out the industry on where it continues to fall short including a clear-eyed assessment of what needs to change to make it safer and healthier, more accessible and inclusive.Written with refreshing honesty and self-deprecating humour, An Actors Alphabet is a book for anyone who dreams of becoming an actor, wants to be a better one, or just wants to learn what being one is really like.Endearingly honest, funny and eye-opening.

Italo Svevo inventa il minimalismo e tutte le tendenze letterarie che ne derivano e arrivano fino a noi in molte fiction letterarie e cinematografiche, come riflessi speculari del protagonista di questo romanzo. Il suo Alfonso Nitti e lantieroe novecentesco che non crea immedesimazione, nega la catarsi e destabilizza il lettore con le sue debolezze. Alfonso Nitti e chiuso in se stesso, timoroso della vita, titubante negli affetti, impiegato in banca senza entusiasmo; si lascia vivere e non si risolve mai. Come le ultime generazioni che si sono succedute in Italia, come noi. Insieme a Una vita proponiamo due piccoli capolavori in cui Svevo scorge il suo futuro... che e il nostro presente.

ACTINGis a vast and relatively unknown subject... for many. And yet millions are fascinated by it. Why? The answer is because this all-encompassing human art form is as fundamental to the self-actualisation of a human being as reading, writing and maths. We sense this. We know it. Surely the possession of such knowledge would be of great advantage in any profession,in any walk of life, and not just the preserve of stage and film?Why are we not taught these playful and transformative skills in school? This book uncovers why, and reveals top acting secrets, techniques and games that will dramatically change the way you see yourself and the world around you. This is a wonderfully helpful book regarding the importance of adults learning to play again, in order to free themselves from the oppressive everyday tramlines we follow...
