A Wealth of Helpful Info

I had no idea how to go about getting into the modeling business, I purchased this book and read it cover to cover the first day. It covered every question I could think of and then some, definatly will pay for itself! I have since signed on with a modeling agency and booked a few jobs on my own as well as developing my portfolio with quality photos without paying a dime.

It is the most complete and informative commercial modeling book available." Judy Kerr Author of "Acting is Everything"

A MUST READ

I have now read this book 5 time in the last 10 days! I have never been more excited and enthused about this industry since I can remember. Although I have done a number of commercials, and some print work, I have missed out on jobs that I should have won. I now feel after reading this book, I will be much more effective at my auditions and marketing my portfolio. Whether you are just beginning, or a 20 year veteran, this book is a must read for commercial actors and print models!

Extremely helpful guide for aspiring commercial models.

This book is a basic "how to" on breaking into the world of commercial modeling. It's easy and entertaining to read and tells you how to avoid the scams and get the jobs. I'd reccomend it for actors, who want to branch out to print work, and for anyone who looks at ads and thinks, "I could do that!" With Mr. Marcus's help, you probably could.

VERY informative and helpful!!

Mr. Marcus has thoughtfully included pictures and other samples that clearly illustrate his topics. I have used this book to teach commercial modeling classes, and my students have universally responded in a positive fashion. His writing style is clear and easy to follow. His format and information cover "soup to nuts;" this book is perfect for people just getting started in the commercial modeling business AND for those trying to ramp up an existing career.
