How To Be A Working Actor: The Insider's Guide to Finding Jobs in Theater, Film, and Television

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Resource and Must-Have
Review: A very straight-forward resource for any aspiring actor. Novice or otherwise, this book gives the inside scoop and is honest about it. As I'm not one to want to put myself out-on-a-limb (no pun intended) without some plan of action and notion of how to stay solvent, what I really like about this book is the author's ability to fill in all the practical details and guide the reader through "The Business." In this day and age, where scams abound in and around Tinsel Towne, I wouldn't leave home to pound the pavement without first having read this book. I can't say enough good things about it!

Review: I am a well trained, working actor. Books that have truly helped me get to where I am are K Callan's "The New York Agent Book" and Brian O'neil's "Acting as a Business". Far more specific and useful. This book is general, and offers no new information.

Summary: Good
Review: I bought this book because I heard it was "the bible" for actors. I read it and what do ya know, it was pretty darn good. Lots of info and stuff you need as an actor. Resume tips, unions, audition prep, the works. But really, all you need to know is to get a good agent. And if you have a great look and you are Caucasian, your chances are looking better than ever. That's it, this is the secret. No need to spend days reading this [junk].
