How to Sell Yourself as an Actor is the only guide to the ins and outs of the acting business that's actually written by a working actor. Now in its seventh edition, this popular book, which addresses the age-old question of how to merchandise your craft after you have learned it, has become required reading for beginning actors as well as trained veterans, whether they live in big cities or small towns. Here you'll find vital, down-to-earth info on how to make yourself more salable to casting people, agents, producers, and directors; how to take control of your own career with courage and vision; and how to maintain your humor and your sanity in a business that seems to lack both; as well as thoughts about showbiz internships, having a manager, internet job resources, auditioning, unions, and much, much more.
