Publisher's Summary

Master your facial expressions.

Complete your on-camera training.

Change your life.

Contrary to popular belief, the camera doesn’t magically place emotion or thought on your face - you do.

Here’s the thing about facial communication...your face speaks an emotional, cognitive, and emblematic language. Knowing how to speak this language fluently and authentically is a skill and often the difference between booking the on-camera job or not.

Is this you?

  • Are you often told your facial expressions are too big, too small, too messy?
  • Does your face frequently fail to represent what you’re really feeling inside?
  • Do your headshots fail to capture who you really are?
  • Is your face uncontrollable - Can’t stop it from moving? Can’t get it to move?
  • Are you unable to figure out how to get what you feel and think on your face the way you intend?

Mastering how your face speaks to the camera starts here.

Acting: Face to Face: The Actor's Guide to Understanding How Your Face Communicates Emotion for TV and Filmis the first audiobook in a two-audiobook series about speaking what I call, “the language of the face”.

Our journey begins with:

  • Why only a small percentage of on-camera actors get the majority of the work
  • What those actors do differently than the rest
  • Why acting is an art of deception and why deception is the key to truthful acting
  • Why your facial messages may not be expressed the way we intend

Then we’ll take a deep dive into:

  • The science of emotions
  • The 3 ways emotions are facially expressed
  • How to identify your personal emotion creating and revealing strengths and weaknesses
  • The 4 steps to achieving “emotional alignment” - The balance between what you feel and what your face reveals

What’s new in the expanded 2nd edition?

  • Updated “myths and misconceptions” section
  • What we've learned from mask-wearing
  • Deeper dive into eye communication - what the eyes can and can’t say

Also added are three brand new sections including a mini version of the proprietary Emotion Screen Test (EST).

The EST is a guided in-depth self-evaluation of your own facial expressions. Its main purpose is to help you clearly evaluate your emotion creating and revealing strengths and weaknesses.

Are ready to finally complete your on-camera training?

I’m pretty certain you’ll love this comprehensive audiobook on facial communication because it’s easy to follow and the information you’ll take away may not only game-changing, it may very well be life-changing.

Let the journey begin...

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
