As a talent agent, I've had the pleasure of dealing with Ellie directly and I can honestly say that she's someone who really cares about actors. And let's face it. If you want a book about casting, you should buy one that's written by a real casting director, not an out of work actor. This book gets a big thumbs up from me.

Not much new here
I was hoping for some new insight into auditioning but found none here. It's pretty much the same old thing repackaged in a new cover.
