Exploring television acting

Cantrell, Tom, 1982- editor, Hogg, Christopher, editor

Overview

\"Exploring Television Acting is the first book to bring together scholarly and practitioner perspectives on acting for television. In 15 new essays by internationally distinguished researchers and actor-trainers, and the most exciting early-career scholars, this collection analyses the acting processes and resulting performances of some of the most acclaimed television actors such as Hugh Bonneville, Viola Davis, Philip Glenister, Hugh Laurie, Maxine Peake and Jason Watkin. The book is organised into three sections, each with a particular angle on the actor's work on television. The first section focuses on the ways in which historical, industrial, organisational and technological developments have shaped television acting. In the second section particular performances are explored in depth. The final section looks at the wider context of a modern television actor's career, with analyses of their training for the profession, their well-being, and the casting practices of British and American television companies\"-- Provided by publisher.
