The Professional Actor's Handbook (inbunden, eng)

While there are many books that attempt to teach people how to act, there are few books that show aspiring actors what it takes to succeed as a working professional.

The Professional Actor’s Handbook: From Casting Call to Curtain Call provides struggling artists – stage and screen actors, dancers, singers – with strategies that will help them successfully negotiate every stage of their careers.

From recent college graduates to seasoned professionals looking to transition their careers to the next level, this book is a much needed guide. Among the many topics covered in this book, the authors demonstrate how to:

• Create a Captivating Resume
• Take That “Perfect” Headshot
• Compile a Complete Rep Book
• Conquer Audition Nerves
• Execute a Marketing Plan
• Plus a Bonus Chapter: Generate an Extraordinary Video Submission

Other strategies address how to network, how to finance your early career, and even how to organize a home studio.

Featuring sample resumes, insights from industry experts, and a new chapter by audition coach Casey Miko on how to “Generate an Extraordinary Video Submission: Self-Tapes – The Basics and Beyond,” this book offers invaluable industry guidance. Along with audition manuals and repertoire binders, The Professional Actor’s Handbook is a vital reference that belongs on every working professional’s bookshelf
