You must have this book.,
By MIKE NOBLE (Hollywood) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acting is Everything: An Actor's Guidebook for a Successful Career in Los Angeles (Paperback)
I do not know Judy Kerr personally, but I do know she has created the most honest up-to-date powerful book/bible for the beginning or working actor in America.I was lost in L.A. until I bought this book. She has LIFETIMES of knowledge and connections wrapped up for you to read/resource. My friends who have been at the acting game for years and years know much less than me after only a month. Judy has every tool a motivated actor needs to be successful in this book. Everything is current with incredible web-sites, phone numbers, resources, groups and written word from true professionals in the busines. Thank you Judy, you have saved me time, energy, money, frustration and given me confidence to achieve my goals. Knowing what what I know now after reading most of the book, I would have spent thousands for this knowledge.

The best acting book I've ever read,
By "erickareese" (GLENDALE, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acting is Everything: An Actor's Guidebook for a Successful Career in Los Angeles (Paperback)
Wow! This book was so good and it was packed with so much information. I loved it. It tells you everything you'll need to know about acting. It starts off answering the questions of what is acting and can acting be taught followed by many quotes from famous actors. It discusses all the different types of acting teachers, like cold reading and audition technique teachers, private coaches, voice teachers, etc. It also goes into talking about photographers and agents. It goes over resumes and pictures and has samples of resumes and pictures. What I was most pleased with was the fact that she named several impressive and skillful acting coaches and photographers,etc. Plus, if you don't already live in California it has a section on how and when to move to California. She was very honest and positive which I greatly appreciated. She had so much information packed in this one book. It's definitely worth it's money. I can't even begin to tell you how excellent this book truly is. If you don't already have it, I highly recommend that you buy it as soon as possible.

Most complete acting book ever!,
By Joseph Scelso (Huntertown, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acting is Everything: An Actor's Guidebook for a Successful Career in Los Angeles (Paperback)
I am so impressed! I have never read a more complete book on making it as an actor in LA. Not only does this book include advice on what to do to succeed as an actor, it also gives you the resources to do it. Plus, now I'm so excited about all the classes and organizations and things to do once I get to LA. I'm having trouble containing my enthusiasm, for what's going to be a long 6 months of saving up money to come to LA :(. This book is going to be with me wherever I go, and I bet it's going to save me a lot of mistakes and heartaches. With Judy's book in hand, success is only a page away.
