My thoughts on the twelve step plan,
By Daniel A. Cook (Modoc, IN. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Twelve Step Plan to Becoming an Actor in L.A.New 2004 Edition (Paperback)
I've bought several books; most of the books I've read are people who have already been there and done that, and are now helping other people who wish to travel down the same road in the film industry. I read the twelve step plan and e-mailed Dawn; she answered my e-mail within a day or so, she told me if I had any questions just e-mail her again. She is there to help, just as her book pointed out ways to get you started on the right track. After reading the twelve step plan I decided I wanted to do it right, so I enrolled at Indiana University East and picked acting as my major. For anyone looking to be an actor; the degree your looking for is Bachelor of Arts in Humanities. The Humanities degree gives you all the directing,acting and film editing skills you need to aid your quest. "College is just my first step plan, just like everything else in life, you have to be willing to go the distance, so take it seriously". "Dawn is so right, plan ahead and set your goals, then follow through with the twelve step plan".Did I mention plan ahead? Plan ahead! Way ahead! Dori also did a great job on pointing out what not to do while I was reading this book. The twelve step plan explains things in perfect detail;street names, agencies,agents,places like your nearest SAG office, the best places to eat,live and great places to meet people in the film Industry.Countless names and addresses of important places and people you need to visit on your journey. This book is a must read if your ever thinking of attempting a career as an actor; the book prevents you from making mistakes and wasting time. Personaly, here's my advice, also plan ahead what kind of day job your going to have while your going on auditions and getting started, it might as well be the film industry, so I'm taking some film editing classes. Either way I'll be working in the film industry till I get my big break as an actor. So good luck and think positive, see you in L.A.

I thought this book was very different from the other how - to books out there. It was funny and the advice was practical. A great book for students or young actors trying to come up with a life plan. AWESOME!!!!

Fantastic,
By Julie Witt (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Twelve Step Plan to Becoming an Actor in L.A.New 2004 Edition (Paperback)
This was a really great book for young actors, because it lays out the reality of an actor's life in LA. The listings of places to go to see and be seen are dead on. But what's most appealing about this book is the 'plan.' In relatively few months, I arrived in LA and soon had my life as an actor. It took a little while longer than I expected, I always want things faster, but since following the steps, I've made great contacts and auditioned for many casting agents.
