To win a screen role, an actor must learn to contend with the unique challenges of an on-camera audition. Understanding how to make the crucial adjustments to one's craft that this kind of audition requires is vital to the career of any screen actor.

Auditioning on Camera sets out the key elements of a successful on-camera audition and explains how to put them into practice. Joseph Hacker draws on 35 years of acting experience to guide the reader through the screen auditioning process with an engaging and undaunting approach. Key elements examined include:

  • commanding the camera's focus
  • dealing with nerves
  • on-camera interview techniques
  • structural scene analysis
  • knowing where and when to look
  • transforming the audition space

The book also features audition guidelines for comedies and villains, as well as techniques for performing in pairs and for creating self-produced "virtual auditions" via the internet. It is a comprehensive and enlightening resource for screen actors of all levels.

Industry Reviews

Mr Hacker offers an invaluable set of skills for navigating the world of film auditioning. Every audition of my career, and indeed many times on the job, I have utilized his strategies. They are an excellent way to jump ahead of the pack and start with skills it takes others years to discover through trial and error.

- Deborah Ann Woll, Jessica Hamby on HBO's True Blood and a former student

Hacker's book is destined to replace Michael Shurtliff's 'Audition' as the auditioning guide for the 21st century. I use his methods every time I walk into the audition room and they never fail to leave a great impression.

- Robert Baker, Dr Charles Percy on CBS's Grey's Anatomy and a former student
