Fantastic Casting Director guide

Angela Peters on 8th Oct 2012

It's difficult to find a practical, hands-on book that details everything an actor needs to know and consider for any audition, but this book did exactly that.<p> It was also a welcome reminder about the "dos and don'ts" of castings, which is easy to forget if you've been in the business for some time.<p>Immediately after reading this I used some of the tips for an audition the very next week. Fantastic read for any actor in the business!

It's the Audition, Stupid!

Taya De La Cruz on 6th Apr 2012

There are so many books out there dedicated to the casting process that are not very helpful, but this one definitely stands head and shoulders above the rest. I've been an actor for a couple of years and it gave me so many useful tips that I have bookmarked and will add to my personal notes to take with me to auditions. Thanks for being so honest about the casting process and injecting some Irish humour into it!
