Written by Michelle Stein Teer

Good actors create the impression that acting is an easy & simple & thing but to create magic, extensive preparations are required. In this book, the first of its kind in Hebrew, you will find practical techniques & tips for successful performing in front of the camera. 

Ruthie Dytches, the first teacher in the field in Israel, offers practical tools for actors who aspire to train themselves in film & television. Directors will find effective ways to build a creative and collaborative relationships with their actors, producing the best of every rehearsal while providing clear & accurate directing instructions. Politicians & interviewees will benefit from this extensive collection of media training tips and advice.

Ruthie & I published the book in 2003, when our target audiences included mainly actors, directors & politicians, and no one heard yet about TED lectures. Two decades later, the book is more relevant than ever to professionals from all fields of life. In the Corona age, anyone who communicates online can use this wonderful set of tools that deciphers the secrets of television & film, giving us the techniques for persuasive performance in front of the camera.
