Product Description

Review
'Yes, it could help young actors trying to break into the profession, but there's also plenty here for old stagers you could learn a lot.' The Stage (August 2007) 'The introduction to this year's edition of the annually updated Actor's Yearbook repeats the well known fact "that an actor's life is not an easy one", but this one-stop shop of information and guidance to both aspiring and established actors to help them negotiate the wealth of opportunities - as well as the minefield of pitfalls - should make it easier.'

Sir Richard Eyre
'A useful guide for both the young actor and the old manager' --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful. fills in what "Contacts" leaves out, 1 Mar 2007
This review is from: Actors Yearbook 2007 (Paperback)
On the surface this is a reference book of names and addresses for the freelance actor who is looking for work, and "Contacts" does have a much larger and more comprehensive list. However, "Actor's Yearbook" also has the contact person at every company (which in itself saves hours on the Internet when doing a letter-writing campaign), thoughtfully lists when the contact person is due to leave the company if their contract is expiring, has a calendar listing in chronological order all the general company auditions that are held, gives a detailed description of what sort of work every listed company does and how they like actors to approach them, gives a whole section on disabled actors, and has twenty two concise, informative and witty articles on every aspect of life to do with actor's employment - from the point of view of employers like the director or the casting agent, to a description of life in a van on a small tour, to a very realistic article entitled "An Actor's Guide to Keeping Sane." It won't replace "Contacts", but it deserves to be on every actor's bookshelf alongside it.
