No other book for actors focuses so succinctly on the business of self-management. Whether an actor has an agent or manager on his or her team, or is going it alone, this is a roadmap for surviving -- and thriving -- in the entertainment industry. This book offers a simple, self-management concept that allows an actor to handle the business of his or her acting career without losing the ability to be a creative artist, and is filled with real-world examples from working actors and behind-the-desk advice from casting directors. Includes advice about: * color headshots * online casting * essays by successful actors It's your career. Why not manage yourself? There is nothing magic or even a little mystical about the business side of the business (or even about the craft, if you look at the academic science of it). There is, however, a cloak of protection around some industry information. As one casting director once told me, "This is NOT classified information! Most of it is common sense and the rest of it is all available through research." Sure. But as an artist, you are trying very hard to balance the muse that helps you create, the inspiration that keeps you going, and the organizational skills that allow you to navigate it all. Oh yes, and you're trying not to take it all personally, when you don't get cast! Forget about keeping all those proverbial balls in the air at once. Reward yourself for each success you have in the complex life that is the actor's. Self-Management for Actors: Getting Down to (Show) Business is available on Amazon.com and in stores everywhere. TOP FRIENDS: This book would not exist without them!! Give 'em some love! Feel free to leave comments here, post reviews at Amazon.com, or add Self-Management for Actors as your friend! Thanks for the support! |
