Do you know a teen that's been bitten by the acting bug? Here's just the book they need! Acting for Young Actors , aimed at teens and tweens, lets kids hone their skills and develop their craft. It begins with the five W's: WHO am I? WHAT do I want? WHY do I want it? WHERE am I? WHEN does this event take place? Sounds basic - but many young child actors are told simply to "get up there and act." This book explores each of these questions, using helpful exercises to allow young actors to work through problems of character identity and motivation. With comprehensive chapters on auditioning, rehearsal, and improvisation, plus a primer on how young actors can break into film, theater, and television, Acting for Young Actors is every kid's ticket to the big time. Review: Highly recommended for young people interested in acting as a profession. - Perfect book for young, beginning actors. I gave it to an 11 year old, and she loved it. She read it with an adult, who was very helpful to check for comprehension and explain the areas not understood. Review: Cute gift for an aspiring actor - Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my sister who will be graduating high school/ going to college in a few months. She got a kick out of it and absolutely loved it

Perfect book for young, beginning actors. I gave it to an 11 year old, and she loved it. She read it with an adult, who was very helpful to check for comprehension and explain the areas not understood.

Great book for young inspired actors
Bought this book for a student who participated in drama through high school . I taught drama for ten years and this book has some great practical ideas and suggestions for those I interested in acting after high school.

Basic Material
Honestly, if you've taken acting classes and/or taken drama in school, it's a repeat of that. It goes over the very basics, and I learned nothing new in it. I bought it a long time ago as a junior in high school (in which I had taken two drama classes, many school plays, and was VP for thespian society ) and just now noticed I haven't reviewed it, and I would say I only recommend this to say a middle schooler or freshman, someone who is just getting into theater and knows next to nothing. Like I said, very basic book.

Great for teens
13 year old budding performer says this is really good. Sheโs also a fairly reluctant reader so that bodes well!

Give it a shot
Bought for my Great Nephew in the States. A quick scan before putting it in the post leads me to think this is a very good introduction to the theory of acting. Hopefully, when he gets his first Oscar he'll keep me within the style I've grown accustomed to.
