Publisher's Synopsis
Here is the authoritative book that reveals what it takes to work consistently and successfully on a Hollywood set. A veteran of TV and film, Steve Carlson covers information that is very difficult to come by, yet every actor is expected to know the first time he or she steps in front of the camera. "Steve Carlson's book offers a complete, non-nonsense approach to learning the ins and outs of television and film technique from the actor's point of view. It should be required reading by anyone beginning a career in this field." -John C. Zak, Supervising Producer, The Bold and the Beautiful "I so appreciate, as my students will, the solid coaching and positive approach combined with a realistic appraisal of the actor's life when working and when preparing to work. The sense of humor makes it most appealing and readable and the depth and breadth of experience makes its content extremely valuable." - Diane Carson, Editorial Vice President, University Film and Video Association "Steve Carlson's book, Hitting Your Mark, is the only source I know of for an actor to learn about the set and filming process from an actor's point of view. A very needed addition to the new film actor's library." - Danny Goldman, Top Hollywood Casting Director "Steve Carlson has given us a book that is a must read for anyone new to performing on camera. This is a handy reference book that will be useful for years to come." - Alan Pultz, Director, General Hospital
