A Must Have For Breaking Into "The Biz",
By Stephanie Levy (New City, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acting As a Business: Strategies for Success, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
Mr. O'Neil's last edition of Acting As A Business was the first book that I read when I got out of college, and it proved invaluable in helping me break into the New York acting scene. This latest edition provides even more strategies of how to be a competitive player in the market.
What Mr. O'Neil illustrates in this edition is so direct and clear, yet so many of my peers remain in the dark, because they never read his book. They are continuing to waste their time and money, rather than do what needs to be done, which is outlined in even greater detail in this latest edition. After reading this book, I landed an agent, had a recurring role as a college student on All My Children, became eligible to join SAG, worked at some top NYC theatres, booked several national commercials, and secured meetings with not only top managers, but with Warner Bros. Televison (twice)- all because I did what Mr. O'Neil said to do!! Mr. O'Neil's book should be required reading for any aspiring actor, and, moreover, should be part of the cirriculum at any university drama department or acting school.

This review is from: Acting As a Business: Strategies for Success, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
You might have studied years at the yale school of drama and received your masters from the new school in NYC, but unless you know about the BIZ side of show BUSINESS and will be a great actor lost in a sea of great actors. This book is a start and a must read. It enlightens you to the other half of the story that more and more dramatic conservatories are leaving out of the curriculum. Be light years ahead of the rest by completing this short read.
