Customer Reviews

I am so grateful I found this!

Just started my acting and modeling career. This book has saved me so much time. I also feel safe since I know all the scams that are going on out there. An easy read that is packed with great info.

A Great Helpful Read

I was sooo glad I found this book. Before I read it I was struggling with my career and making lots of painful and expensive mistakes. You have to read the chapter on scams. Now that I read it I feel like a smart actress in charge of her career. I have a real game plan and have implemented many of the things I learned from it. I am so grateful I found this book and now feel like I have a real shot at working more. I can't recommend this book enough.

Hollywood Here I come- A Breezy Read

Not only was I hooked on this book ...I finished it in a week..and it is three or four inches thick. This book has lots of tips on the child actor, plus tips on modeling, THIS IS ANY ACTRESS/ACTOR's must have!!!! It has short cuts and life savers jam packed for an affordable price. Be smart..this is the book for you!

A great book for actors and actresses moving to Los Angeles!

I picked this book up when it was hot off the press in February and found it to be an invaluable tool for any actor or actress planning on moving to Los Angeles. The book contains thousands of phone numbers for just about anything the working actor needs. It familiarizes you with the city, lets you know what to expect about the field, and encourages you to give it your best. There are chapters that explain all the major guilds and how to be admitted. The book takes you through a guided program on getting headshots, landing an agent, and fitting yourself into the Los Angeles acting market. One chapter is all about finding a night time survival job to pay the bills while you attend auditions during the day. Another chapter covers the audition process and most of the publications in the industry. The only problem with this book is the title. Modeling is mentioned sporadically throughout the book even though the title makes you think that modeling is covered as much as acting. If you are an aspiring model I do not recommend this book. I only recommend this book to anyone planning on pursuing an acting career in the Los Angeles area.
