Acting for Animators

Written specifically for animation professionals instead of stage and movie actors, this book's 5th edition provides an essential primer for creating empathetic and dynamic character performance and, in the process, shows how the strongest storytelling structure works.

Ed Hooks was a professional actor for almost 30 years, trained in New York, with credits in all media. He is an internationally recognized acting teacher who has taught in over 35 countries, and he has written several books for actors. Hooks is the first person to apply classical acting theory to animated storytelling.
