The Back Stage Actor's Handbook: The How to & Who to Contact Reference for Actors, Singers & Dancers

Rating:
Summary: Lot's of solid, basic info....
Review: An informative book for those just starting out in the business or just getting out of theatre school... or anyone curious about the ins and outs of the entertainment world, from an actor's point of view. Lots of need-to-know information here. This handbook is basically a "Best of" collection of articles from the foremost acting/performing trade magazine in the biz, Back Stage (and its sister publications: Back Stage West, the Ross Reports, Billboard, and the Hollywood Reporter). And it has a very good chapter on "Acting in Student Films" that should be read by film students and actors alike.
