[Hai Le · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very good book and must read for actors. A little bit outdated but the principles for getting work remain the same (email, instead of writing letters). Some very sound advice on auditions and acting as a business. Looks in depth at the whole spectrum of the acting business and what actors need to do in order to secure regular work. Highly recommended

[Andrew Cockcroft-Charles · Rating 3 out of 5]

Useful. But industry always advances. Any advice in the present lacks the foresight for the future. It's more helpful than unhelpful, though.

This book was so helpful, if you don't have a clue how the industry works, this book is the one to buy, a must for every british actor/ actress
