5.0 out of 5 stars If you only buy one book on "the biz" this year, this is it!, 22 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Look no further. This is the book that tells it like it is. You can spare yourself years of needless mistakes by taking the advice in this book to heart. Take it from two of the industry's top professionals...the important information every actor needs to succeed. This book could mean the difference between pounding the pavement and signing the contract!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Actors, 30 Dec 1997
By A Customer
Just moving to NYC, Los Angeles, or Chicago? Don't even think about starting out in the acting world with out reading Mari Lyn Henry's & Lynne Roger's book. It's the bible of the Acting Biz and can save you much time, money, and pain. It has it all... everything from headshots to getting an agent. Don't make a move unless you own it.
