Review # 1 was written on 2008-12-04 00:00:00 Michael Easterling I found this book relatively helpful but it is very focused towards acting in America and the business side does not have much in common with the industry in the UK as far as I am aware. It did however prompt me into asking around and is therefore responsible for the knowledge I have gained about the UK industry since. The book takes into account the many different ways actors can get training and representation. The social media and tech advice is already rather outdated in this version, I think I was reading the 2007 one. Do read this book if you intent to do acting in American but do get the newest copy available.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-11-13 00:00:00 Chip Wilhelm I read this for my Audition Techniques class as a look into the professional world and struggles of actors. If your plan is to start acting there is some solid advice and resources provided in this book. However, you really have to push through the first chapter, because it details the depressing reality of being an actor and does everything possible to convince you not to go into acting. It is probably the most honest introduction I have read in an acting book, and it also provided the best look into the professional world. It is important to note that some of the advice listed in this book is no longer relevant or useless with the current reality of Covid-19. If you're able to power through some of the sections that talk about the struggles of being an actor, and how you should really consider any other career, it is a helpful book. I found the Appendix section and the Casting Room chapter to be the most valuable parts.
