Fantastic Resource

The original version of this book was the first book I ever read about the business of acting. It is a truly great resource for actors, and I highly recommend beginners read it.

Actors need this book

This book is a film and television actors Bible. It will help you immensely whether you have been acting for years or if only for a day. If you are an actor buy this book, read it, take notes, and read it again. This book will mean the difference between getting or not getting the job.

The Bible for Beginning Actors

Mr Logan's book is the most succinct and thorough guide for beginning actors that I've come across. The recommendations and advice given in the book is based on 30 years experience as a WORKING director in Hollywood. Unlike most acting coaches who are has-beens or never-will-bes and who give outdated or inacurate instruction, Mr Logan gives current and reliable advice collected methodically and tested over decades.Mr Logan's writing style makes the book a quick and enjoyable read. I highly recommend this book to any beginning actor or anyone who is unhappy with their career development. And if you're lucky enough to have Mr Logan give a workshop in your town, don't miss it!
