Summary

What do you do when actors won't do what you tell them to? Remembering his own awkwardness and terror as a beginning director working with actors who always had their own ideas, director John Badham has a bookload of knowledge to pass along in this inspired and insightful must-listen for cinema fans as well as actors and directors at all levels of their craft.

You'll learn how to use proven techniques to get actors to give their best performances—including the ten best and ten worst things to say—and what you can do when an actor won't or can't do what the director wants. Also included are no-holds-barred out-of-school tales culled from celebrated top directors and actors, including Sydney Pollack, Michael Mann, John Frankenheimer, Mel Gibson, James Woods, Anne Bancroft, Jenna Elfman, and Roger Corman.
