Essential Reading for Actors
21 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
As a recent graduate, starting a career in New York seems intimidating, but after reading How to be a Working Actor I feel much more confident and prepared. This book is inspiring me in my career. It includes in-depth, essential advice about what to wear, headshots and resumes, living as an actor, showcases and understanding the unions, as well as auditions and interviews. I thought I had a good basic knowledge of the industry, but this book gave me a lot more. I'd recommend it to anyone pursuing a career in New York or Los Angeles... or in the regional markets; they're covered in here too!

Superb Resource for actors!
4 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback
"How to Be a Working Actor" is an excellent resource for beginning actors or old veterans. Mari Lyn Henry and Lynne Rogers are extremely accomplished. These talented ladies include all the information you need to build a strong career as a working actor. Each chapter is specific, detailed and up to date. I am pursuing a career in New York and have found it an invaluable resource. Bottom line: Get this book!

Practical Reading
11 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
This book is extremely valuable for the young actor. The problem is that this is only one perspective on the business of acting. It is acurate, but must be followed with caution and be advised that it will be outdated next year, due to the nature of the business.
