Tao of Show Business is a Zen experience., Mar 30 2009
By Patrick Cronin - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Tao of Show Business: How to Pursue Your Dream Without Losing Your Mind (Paperback)
This bright and breezy book (easily digested in one sitting) is a brisk antidote to the weighty tomes about acting found in drama book stores. As someone who has appeared in over 200 films, TV shows and commercials, I am delighted to read any book that doesn't tell me I need to starve in order to be a great artist. I now teach at East Tennessee State and this is just the kind of book that actors need to have along with their Stanislavski or their Uta Hagen or their Meisner. Sure we all want to do great work ,but we also want to get paid and we want to be happy and have a full life.As a life coach Dallas knows that there is more to the art of acting than being creative. There is also the mundane, day to day life of a working actor that is not all creative glory. It is about career planning and management; it is about agents and managers and stress and it is about finding your center in a world that can easily drive you insane. If you're a beginning actor or an older, more successful actor feeling a mid career slump, this is the book that can jump start things for you. All in all a good and worthwhile read.

Stop Dreaming and Start Living, Mar 7 2009
By Janeline Hayes - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Tao of Show Business: How to Pursue Your Dream Without Losing Your Mind (Paperback)
This is the greatest piece of information out there for ACTORS! It's a jump start into living the Dream and not dreaming about it. This book is fresh, witty and straight to the point with no B.S. It is easily absorbed and ingrained right away. Dallas just gets down to the nitty gritty and attacks it and makes it approachable and motivating for you to just go out there and Just Do It!That's the hardest thing I find being as an actress, just getting out there so people know you're out there, and with her tactics, you feel excited about doing so. Out of doing some of the exercises she suggests, you feel fearful( which is really EXCITEMENT), but I have only come to learn that through these thoughts and feelings of EXCITEMENT, only the Best and Amazing things are to come and happen.
The TAO of Show Business, gives you Heart to do so! Dallas, I ACKNOWLEDGE that this is an astounding gift you have given to actors! CONGRATS!!!!!!

By Tammy Dahlstrom - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Tao of Show Business: How to Pursue Your Dream Without Losing Your Mind (Paperback)
For actors who are tired of waiting for the phone to ring and want to actually do something about their career..."The Tao of Show Business" offers motivation, inspiration and practical advice on how to get it done!From figuring out who are "my people", to postcards & marketing, to undstanding the idea of "Do Less More Often"...this book dives into the business of 'show-business' in a way that hasn't been tapped before.
And, it will inspire you to actually do it...not just read it!
It's certainly helping me! Thank you, Dallas!!
