About this ebook
Simple and concise, The Aspiring Actor’s Handbook is written for those wishing to consider pursuing an acting career. Veteran actresses Debbie Zipp and Molly Cheek have culled the wit and wisdom of a wide array of successful actors from Dee Wallace to Beth Grant, to bring aspiring actors the kind of mentoring perspective so many in the business wish they’d had when they were just starting out.
Readers will learn from personal stories, lessons on getting a career started, managing finances, handling the various “handlers” they’ll encounter, dealing with disappointment, sex in the workplace, and most of all, maintaining integrity in the great unknown of show business.
This is not a book on acting technique or a guide to getting the right headshot or agent, but one that speaks of real-life experiences and how to navigate them with grace and style. It is a collection of real-world advice on what to expect and encouragement on living fully while navigating the rough road of a show business career.
