Description:
Whether you've set your sights on an Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Obie, or just a place in the dramatis personae, you'll need help getting it. Have no fear--award-winning actor/writer Glenn Alterman is here with Promoting Your Acting Career, a compact but comprehensive guide to making it on stage and screen. Through interviews with professionals in acting, casting, promotion, and other important fields, as well as his own wealth of experience, Alterman maps each step on the road to success, including common pitfalls and little-known shortcuts not found in other guides. Is your head shot not quite right? Perhaps you should reconsider your "type." Do the secrets of networking elude you? Chapter 13 helps you figure out what to say and, of course, what not to say. Alterman's matter-of-fact style lends itself well to his topics, from choosing an agent to producing your own one-person show. As he says in his preface, "Show business is a business." Those who are successful know this and use this knowledge to their advantage. You could be next. --Rob Lightner
