About this title

From the Publisher:

Unlike other books about the acting business, which focus on east and west coast opportunities, An Actor's Business describes acting opportunities in 20 regions all over the United States, and devotes entire chapters to Hollywood and New York. Detailed resource lists give contact information for hundreds of agents and theaters. This guide to the business of acting is a must-have for every actor, no matter where you live.

From the Author:

When it comes to the acting business, talent is only a reservoir of potential. It is the ability to learn a skill quickly, but the skill nevertheless needs to be practice and learned. A skill is the ability to perform on command, and talent needs to be turned into a skill. Then someone who has an acquired acting skill needs to persevere. He or she needs to walk the fine line between being persistent and being a pest, and you probably need divine grace to keep you towing that line. It amounts to a formula - talent multiplied by practice equals skill. Skill plus persistence equals a career. Learn how to further market yourself as an actor by reading An Actor's Business.
