To give all actors more than just a 'thank you for coming today', casting director Paul Russell has written a straightforward guide to surviving and advancing in the entertainment industry. It gives voice to what really goes on behind the audition table and shares practical advice on issues that can frustrate actors throughout their careers. They include marketing, audition behaviour, approaching agents, dealing with rejection, negotiating contracts, financial survival, maintaining health, as well as managing the strong and varied personalities found along the way. Along with Russell's candid advice and observations are his interviews with working actors and agents. They each offer readers a different perspective on the industry.
