Summary: Beginner's Savior!
Review: I am just entering the film acting business, and I have tried to hold no illusions about how the industry works. Unfortunately, no matter where you live, you'll hear stories about Hollywood, both good and bad ones. It feels so intimidating to even consider acting as a profession, and there seems to be no one willing to guide you in the proper direction. How much does a mentor cost these days? In this book, Margie Haber gives us actors the help we need to feel comfortable and confident at auditions. She helps us understand that the casting director is not an evil monster toying with our fate and our careers, but a harried and tired worker, the same as we are. She also gives us tips and exercises to be a better auditioner. The icing on the cake is the stories, told by established actors, about their own mistakes and successes. Seeing that even well-known and respected actors have their slip-ups helps to bring the green actor more confidence. Whether you are new to auditioning or a seasoned professional, this book will help alleviate the cold reading jitters.

Summary: Get the book! It will invigorate your auditions!
Review: I LOVED this book! We actors all know what it's like to not prepare the way we need to for an audition. In reading Margie's book, I realized it's not just fear (masked as paralysis or procrastination) that keeps us from preparing. It's cause we aren't sure what questions to ask -- questions that will REALLY stimulate and plug us in when we only have 10 minutes, an hour, a day -- at any rate, not 4 nice, long weeks of rehearsal -- to bring life to the role. Just by reading this, I felt like I had taken a course. For seasoned actors as much, if not more, than for beginners. A handbook of what we could all stand to be reminded of. This book has made auditioning FUN again.
