Rating: Summary: O.K. but clearly for people with no experience Review: Hi - this book is great for someone who has almost no experience. If you have been acting for any period of time at all, you will know most of what is in the book. Not to mention, some of the information is a little outdated. But that being said, it does have good info. in it for those just stepping into the business.
Rating: Summary: THE best book for actor's!! Review: I am reading this in my acting class and it reminded me of a story my acting teacher told. I'll share it now. In the 60's Dustin Hoffman, who represented the New kind of acting was in a movie with John Wayne, or somebody who represented the Old acting. In one scene Hoffman's character stays up all night running from Wayne (or whoever) and so he (Hoffman) stays up all night, too. He says to the old actor "My character didn't sleep, so neither did I. You should try this style of acting". To wich the Old acor replyed "No thanks. I prefer to ACT." Pretty funny, eh, although the way my teacher told it it was even better.Just get this book it will really help yo're acting!!

Rating: Summary: this book did not help me i want to be an actor Review: I believe that this book was made just for money. there was no information that i could use in it.
Rating: Summary: An Excellent Guide to the L.A. Acting World Review: I recently moved to Los Angeles to further my acting career. Mr. Lewis' book was one of many I read on the subject prior to my move and was the only one that I've really followed since I've been here (6 whole months now!). It sounds kinda' "cheesy", but I followed his advice pretty much to the letter and am well on my way. It was a tremendous help in getting an agent and just "learning the ropes". I highly recommend this book to all newcomers to L.A. and any actor who is still struggling trying to figure out this town! Break a leg!

Rating: Summary: O.K. but clearly for people with no experience Review: M.K. Lewis does a great job of getting you to understand the complexity of trying to make it in L.A. He gets you thinking about your commitment to acting by giving you a lot of truthful, upfront information about what it is really like trying to "survive in Hollywood". Having studied with M.K. in Santa Monica for 9 months, I can honestly say that he wants nothing more than success for those who read his book. Well worth a look!
