Lifesaver!
This book is incredible. Anything you need to know is in this book. If it doesn't go into detail on a specific subject, it gives you resources to look up to further your search. Funny, interesting, and helpful, this book is completely highlighted-up and is my ultimate resource guide!
Definitely read this if you are dumb and want to be an actor
...just because "it's for dummies." I'm not trying to insult anyone's intelligence.
Anyway, this book is a good resource for someone who is considering a career in acting, or a move to Hollywood, and has no clue. The character in my book, Trott Felipe, could have used a book like this before he made the trek from Iowa to Hollywood in his Astro Van. Unfortunately, he's a fictional character, and this book didn't exist in the version of Hollywood I wrote about.
Breaking Into Acting..
Very informative, well written book. Extremely helpful for the Novice actor, for someone just starting out (Acting classes, extras etc.). Covers everything you need to know to start looking into developing this exciting career. Many topics, easily & clearly set-out. I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in the Industry, including well established actors, as it could still help with pin-point information and ideas, that may be not known or forgotten over time. Don't give it a second thought about purchasing this book!
