520 _a"The Acting Business is a self-directed practical guide specifically for actors graduating from theatre programs with BFAs, MFAs, or BAs to assist them in moving towards success using the same kind of business/career planning so frequently offered to graduates in non-arts programs. This introduction to the acting industry provides actors with essential knowledge and examples of casting breakdowns, letters, marketing tools and a five-year career plan. Interviews with casting directors and agents are included from throughout the US offering advice and opinions on auditions, showreels, pictures, resumes and networking, as well as important issues such as typecasting and ethnicity. The Guide also gives a regional breakdown of the acting industry in America and how it is different across the various regions and cities. To suit teaching needs, the book can easily adapt to either a ten-week or a thirteen-week syllabus. Offering support as a personal career coach, empowering the actor to take concrete steps towards their career goals, The Acting Business: A Career Guide is a must-have book for all first-time actors"--
