Book Reviews of Breaking Into Acting For Dummies
Book Review: Great starter...
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is called "Breaking Into Acting" and it tells you how to do just that. It gives you the information you need to know to get started and some information to keep going. The format of the entire book is ESPECIALLY helpful! Each chapter is basically an in-depth outline, and the print was easy to read. I especially find the chapters on how to make a resume, how to get an agent, and what to expect on a set helpful.It covers almost everything--film, theatre, commercials, kids in acting, directors, auditions, etc. It is a great book for people who are starting out, wanting some direction, or are just plain curious about the business. I find this book a helpful one that I look back on once in a while.
