Just back in the biz after many years and things have certainly changed. Can anyone recommend a book that deals with the techniques involved? I'd also be interested in a class which covers this in the Tampa/Orlando area. Thanks, all!

Thank you Joey. I will check it out.
Improv class has been one of the best ways to get strong audition chops. Then an on-camera audition workshop would be the next important tool. I had friends that would tape each other for auditions just for practice. Books can help but doing is the best way to grow your audition skills.
Hey Brenda, there is a great acting webinar coming up on Stage 32 on 12/15. I think you'd find it super useful. https://www.stage32.com/webinars/Actors-9-Secrets-To-Getting-Your-Best-P.... It's going to go over tips and tricks that can improve your acting right away.
Hi Brenda, I just published a text on acting for the camera. It's a straight-forward presentation of Stanislavski technique, but then addresses how actors can keep healthy psychologically. Check it out and let me know what you think!! http://www.amazon.com/Sanity-Acting-teachings-Boulgakova-Stanislavski-ba...
Thank you Margaret. I will check it out.

Hi Brenda, I found the book by Michael Shurtleff " Audition " to be very helpfull.
There's an online course by Marci Liroff I'm enjoying which you can check out here: https://www.udemy.com/how-to-star-on-tv-and-in-the-movies. Also, "How to Book Acting Jobs in TV and Film" by Cathy Reinking has good stuff in it, although she can be a little rough at times.

I concur with Joe on Michael Shurtleff's "Audition." An easy read and a step-by-step process to have you auditioning at your best. Good luck!
I'm not an actor but as part of my reading a while ago, I read a book by Michael Caine which I enjoyed and thought was insightful. Acting in Film - An Actor's Take on Film Making . (I hope I got the title right.)
Michael Caine's DVD of screen acting was the most insightful for me. Simple and effective tips for new and upcoming actors'
