Great for Beginners,
By
This review is from: Breaking Into Acting For Dummies (Paperback)
For anyone who has always wanted to be an actor, but has no idea where to begin - this is a great book. It covers all the basic like getting an agent, your headshot and resume, the unions. And even deals with more intermediate stuff like marketing yourself as an actor, auditioning and managing your money. I found the chapters on acting in Film and Television, Commercials and Theatre to be very helpful, since each is so different from eachother. The book also covers getting Voice-over work, and working as an Extra. There is even a chapter on getting your kids into acting.This books touches on alot of different topics and is a very good starting book for the beginning actor.

Great start- here's more,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking Into Acting For Dummies (Paperback)
This book is a great start, of course the best way to learn is by throwing yourself in there. Other things I recommend as a working actor in LA:Backstage West- for all the audtion listings "Voice Lessons To Go" by Vaccarino, hey you know we all need to sing as some audition at one time or another-these are great. "The Artist Way" by, Cameron- it has helped me and so many of my friends gain confidence and clarity- love this.

Must Have,
By David Verkler (New York (by way of LA)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breaking Into Acting For Dummies (Paperback)
One of the Must Haves for any actor. Also required reading if you really want to make it: "Audition" by Michael Shurtleff, "How to Be a Working Actor" by Mari Lyn Henry, and "My Fractured Life" by Rikki Lee Travolta.
