As an acting instructor in the performing arts, the one question I get asked repeatedly after a class is completed is “what do I do now?” How do I use these artistic skills I have been developing in a studio and take them out into the real world? A good analogy would be to think of a person that spent their entire life learning how to make the perfect pizza but has no clue how to build a restaurant to sell his amazing pizza.
This is a major obstacle that many actors struggle with because no one ever taught them how to professionally release their artistic gifts into the world. Statistically many actors fail in the industry not because they're not talented but because they just don't know what steps they should take to break in. You could have all the talent in the world, but if you don’t know how to get auditions, contact casting directors, avoid frauds, or how to research/contact talent agents. Then there is a high chance that you’re not going to make it.
Well never fear because you’re in luck. This book maps out a step-by-step process on how to break into the industry of television, film, and commercial. Everything that I talk about in this book is based purely on my own experience. I went to college to be an actor and after I graduated, I had to figure out on my own just how to break into the industry. It’s my pleasure to share this knowledge and experience with you, so let’s dive in.
