Breaking into Commercials: The Complete Guide to Marketing Yourself, Auditioning to Win, and Getting the Job

Rating:
Summary: Dead On
Review: This book is dead on. Don't worry about the publishing date being 1997--these are the basics and they still apply. Having appeared in a national commercial, relocated to Los Angeles after four years of regional experience, and now going on several auditions for principal parts each and every week, the authors capture the experience "dead on" and offer invaluable advice. As you read the book, make sure you have a highlighter or pad and pencil handy to jot down specifics that apply to you. I've already updated my resume based on the authors' suggestions and have arranged for a more appropriate headshot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Review: This book really breaks down components of the business into a very workable and specific approach. I have a cousin who works in commercials and now understand better so much of what she goes through. It's much more than luck or knowing people, which is a common myth, and this books gives some sound facts.
