How to get a job and have a career as an actor is the number one question facing emerging artists and one which this book answers for you.

It helps you to find work and proactively build a career by providing the tools you''ll need to connect with working professionals within the industry.If acting is your business, you must run it as a business. Positioning you as CEO of your own company, this book uses a boardroom table as a visual model. At that table are 7 key positions, each representing an area of action and expertise that you must understand to build a successful career. With worksheets and tools, supplemented throughout with interviews with industry professionals from North America, the UK and Europe, and Australia, and further supported by a companion website, this action plan will empower and equip you to achieve your career goals.>
