Exercises, including script examples, throughout the book give readers an easy resource for practicing the principles outlined.The Art of Film AcMotion picture actingMotion picture acting.791.43/028791.43028Comey Jeremiah.1602026MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827623303321The art of film acting3925836UNINA
